Middle America's Worldview

Yesterday evening was pretty good. My wife had to bring our friends daughter over, due to them going to a 4-H leader meeting. No big. But it was a bit aggravating when they called around 7:00 p.m. from Walmart checking on her. Our kids were crashing out around 8:10 (around their bedtime) and they still hadn't came to pick her up. We finally put our kids to bed, note we already given them showes ect. as usual. My wife was in the process of asking our friends daughter if she wanted to take a shower so she didnt have to when she got home. Fortunately her parents came shortly after that. Perhaps I shouldn't be aggravated at something so insignificant but I also don't want it to become a habit.

On a side note afterwards, I was able to sit outback with my wife with a bottle of wine and relax under the stars. It was very relaxing to get a chance to unwine. Much better than tylenol pm and flipping through the tv. I am going to have to make it more of a routine getaway for us.

This morning started out with a bang. Getting the kids up and taking them to school was chore. They were dragging. Once I hit the school I caught the superintendant in the teachers lounge to try to get some feedback on the papers we sent her Monday. She was more than willing to discuss in her office. Interestig how everything was hunky dory and she just wants everything to go well this year. This same super will not spend time with my wife but attempts to be nice to me. Guess we will see where it goes. I played politics before, but don't like it much. However, if I can get more action out of her than my wife, so be it. At least it keeps things moving.

I grabbed the PTA mail and headed out. I was also able to speak to my son's teachers and aid as well as 3 other teachers, nurse on my way out. All this without finishing my first cup of coffee.

I proceeded to get home and correct a problem at work right off the bat. I am on support today and do not see getting much accomplished other than that. I was asked by a peer where is other group member( the one I mentioned yesterday's blog) and I didn't have a clue since I just logged on. Seems she is MIA again today.
