Do you know the feeling when you have worked really hard on a layout but it just doesn’t seem to come together for some reason? Well I had one of those. It was a layout of my mom and dad. The paper was beautiful. The photos were fabulous. The layout itself sucks. I don’t know what sucks about it really. I think I might just have to put on a whole ton of primas to redeem this one. It’s bad. It’s really bad in fact. Maybe the flowers will be all inspiring and make it look good somehow.
It’s 1 am and I can’t sleep. I have an interview tomorrow and the place sounds like a dream to work at. I want to work in a new field. It’s a big change for me seeing how I usually just stuck to working in the public service. This is a small retirement community. It’s what I want to do. It will be lower stress, positive and hopefully a lot of fun. I am looking forward to my interview at 9:30. It’s just in a few hours. I hope I get some sleep before I have to go to it. I am just not tired yet.
DS is at yet another sleep over. It will be his last one until Thanksgiving in October. I feel badly for him but his idea of sleep overs are awake overs. I am sure they don’t go to bed until really late and they talk until the wee hours of the morning. He will be tired for the rest of the day, too. Oh well. If he has another one on Friday this week then it will be his second last one of the summer.
DS starts school on Tuesday. I am meeting with his teachers on Thursday of next week. I don’t for the life of me know why they aren’t seeing us this week (I mean we have been at the school for 8 years and that’s the way they have always done it) but ok. What choice do I have? We always have a meeting with the parent(s) and child and the teachers to talk about the new grade, expectations, homework, classroom assignments etc. I really wanted to get a feel for his new teacher, Danielle. I hope she is inspiring. I wasn’t all that excited about what went on last year so hopefully this year will be better. He will be in a grade 7-8 split class. I knew this from the beginning so this is not a shocker to any of us. I also know that he is going to Camp Thunderbird the week after next for 3 days. It is the highlight of his year. I can’t wait for him to go back. The kids really bond at it and it’s such a great learning experience for them.
Well I should go and try to get some sleep or I will go back and Pea for a little while longer.
Talk to you soon,
Elannah
