Day Four

We are getting into a pattern here. Four days does not a schedule make, but it's better. Robin got up in a snit this morning because she hadn't finished her homework last night and needed to do that. She squared away fairly quickly. Meanwhile, Ryan had apparently been up during the night, looking for snacks. Meg found him walking around sucking on a Ring Pop at 10:30. Ugh! *Paragraph break* I got Robin on the bus this AM. There is a youngster across the street...can't be more than Kdg. age...who has to cross Stanley Road in front of the bus in order to get on....just before our intersection. In essence, the driver stops a half block from us for a student, then comes a few feet to get the Kdg young'un...then comes forward a few feet to pick up Robin and Jack. I asked her this afternoon if it would help for Robin and Jack to be across Walton to be picked up when the little girl is. She said no. She is trying to rearrange her route so that the little girl won't have to cross in front of the bus and that our children merely need to wait because she will come down Walton, at some point, and pick the kids up. A work in progress...

Along about 8:30 this morning, a hard hat from Duke Energy knocked on the door and said that they were doing work in the area and needed to shut the power off for an hour in 25 minutes. I had scheduled a young man to come and do some work at 9:00. It was going to cut into our time...but he was late, so the timing worked perfectly. Bless Ryan's little heart, his Zoo Tycoon computer game was not to be interrupted because Meg's computer works on battery when the power goes down. He was happy.

I worked hard on the house today. You can't tell it, but I did. More to come.
Ciao!
