I was able to drop off the 3 largest boxes to school for the teachers. These boxes contained the supplies provided by PTA. I noticed Cindy Steele ( secretary) was already polling them out before I left.

I also had a chance to sit with my daughter and go over some math problems she seemed to be having trouble with. Her trouble equaled to 80's rather than 100's. I see that she has a logical mind, similiar to mine. The other day the neighbors daughter came over for me to assist her in math reciprocals and such. With me helping her and then today with my daughter, it reminded me how much I enjoy math. It's simplistic logical ways. You do the equation correctly and it comes out the same correct answer. I like that, going back to 'just the facts' again.

I spoke with my son yesterday evening while we headed to the speech therapist. He told me he hated school and didn't like it. I asked why and he retorted because all they do is work, work and work. I had to giggle on that one. I tried to convey to him that was the reason you go to school, to work and learn. ( Try explaining this to a 5 year old wasn't really easy ). I also tried to mention the fact that momma and daddy still works, you will always work and working isn't a bad thing. I don't know how well I conveyed it to him but I tried.

I will take a half day off tomorrow to assist in the Grandparents lunch at School. Seems that only 4 PTA members have responded to help out. Figures. We have 38 members and only 4 replied back.

Guess I better get to work. I gotta make alot of calls today and try to pick these projects up. During yesterday's call with the CIO, she indicated she wanted to get Aiken (hospital) lab upgraded by November. So this will only be an addition to the project list. Oh well. I said it before. I rather be busy than twiddling my thumbs.
