Took the kids to the pool today. Since we are back in school it is only open after 4 and on weekends. I love the pool.
As part of convocation this year we had a speaker who while being a whole lot of smoke up the ass also had the advice of asking your kids/family/friends about the BEST part of their day. So I've been asking my kids that instead of, "how was school today." I've liked their answers so much better.
I have a new job and the administration is so refreshing compared to what I have been dealing with. I know it is only the beginning of the year, but I don't dread work (not the kids, but admin). This school board believes that their job is to give the superintendent the tools he needs to be successful and then they trust him to do his job. The superintendent believes that he gives the expectations and the tools to the principals and then backs off so they can do their jobs. The principals (at least mine) feel the same way. Give the teachers expectations and tools and then allow them to teach. So much different than the micromanaging by the incompetent admin.

Spending the day with this crazy gang... And the best part of my day? After having our puppy for 2 weeks and 2 days, our older dog has FINALLY come to terms with the fact that the puppy is staying and they're PLAYING!!! I was SO excited!

Had a really fun afternoon of finishing up the back-to-school shopping with my Nick. (Love having one-on-one alone time with my boys - today was his turn!) After we finished shopping we went to lunch at one of my favorite restaurants. Nick took one look at the photo on the wall and pointed out Babe Ruth even before reading the caption. (He's my baseball guy! Attachments:
