Okay, so today I found out that the kids all have spring break the same week. Someone needs to get their head out of their ass. Last calendar I saw for the boys said the week of the 25th. At least they can visit their dad if they want to and I won’t have to take Dolly out of school. Plus, I’ll have them all for one week instead of having one home one week and two home the next. Now I just get to have all five of them – my three and Kara’s two – home at the same time; same amount of fighting, just all compacted into one week. J
I also applied for a per diem job at Dolly’s school. I believe I mentioned that a couple of days ago. Anyway, I got all the paperwork in and Kara and I looked into the before and after care at the boys’ schools. Guess what? After all is said and done, I’ll be paying the school to work there. Because of the cost of the before care and after care I’ll be left with about $30, which will pay for three day’s worth of gas. I’ll actually have to pay the other $20 in gas out of pocket. That’s not the way this is supposed to work is it? I didn’t think so.
I spoke with the director today and told her about my findings and she agreed to put me on the schedule so I won’t need the before and after care for the boys. I’ll just go in after the boys get on their buses, and I’ll leave to be home in time for them to get off the buses. That’s better but not great. Hey, I’ll take it for now. I’m also waiting for a law office to call me, too. I mentioned that also, right? My family advocate at Dolly’s school gave my résumé to her daughter who works for a law firm and they’re supposed to be calling people soon. I’m hanging in there waiting for that breakthrough phone call. I know it’ll be here any day now.
Meantime, I’m just plugging along and keeping up with my “Supernatural” episodes. They ticked me off this morning because, even though they play back-to-back episodes in the morning, the second episode today was a “to be continued” episode so I have to wait until tomorrow to see the ending. I don’t like that. Don’t they know I’m sitting here, alone, on the edge of my seat, mesmerized by the show? Don’t they know that I have to know what going to happen immediately? Don’t they know I’m hooked on this show and want to see all the episodes back-to-back-to-back-to-back until I’m caught up to this week’s new episode?
What’s wrong with them? Someone needs to tell them. I’d do it myself but I don’t know how. Maybe I’ll do some research later to find out how to contact the TV station and put in my request. They don’t have to show every episode to everyone; just me. I’m not asking for much, I don’t think. They can just give me a direct line to the station, or maybe even invite me there and present me with my own personal “Supernatural” marathon. That would be nice although it might not work out for me, time wise. I definitely wouldn’t make it back in time for the kids’ buses.
You know what? I have a great idea. If Paul takes the kids for a few days over their break I can do it then. I’ll wear some comfy pjs and pack some snacks and just head on over to the TV station for a few days. I’m sure they have a cot around, right? Don’t execs sometimes sleep in their offices and stuff like that? I’m sure they do; and it probably won’t be a problem for them to set me up with my request, right? Okay, stop laughing at me; I know I’m just wishfully thinking. But, hey, it’s a great show and I love it. If you’re into that kind of thing you ought to check it out when you get the chance; if you haven’t already, that is. Not only is it exciting with all the boogums and monsters and such; but the main characters – Sam and Dean – are too funny sometimes. Not only do I get the fun thrill of being scared, but I get to laugh at the same time. I can’t wait for tomorrow morning’s episodes.
Right now, though, I’m signing off because Dolly won’t go to sleep unless I lie down with her tonight. I don’t know why; you’d have to ask her. When I get her to sleep I’ve got other things to do before I can go to bed tonight and it all just crept up on me while I was writing tonight’s blog. So, have a blast at whatever you may be doing and I’ll be back soon.
Until next time…peace to all.
