I am happy to report that the new bed is VERY comfy. In fact it's so comfy I really want to sleep in in the mornings. That's not a good thing, but baby when I finally hit the bed at night...let's just say it's better than any sex I've ever had. Granddaughter is adjusting to the new school and so's the checking account...albiet a lot less slowly than granddaughter is. She really enjoys it and they're really learning some cool stuff. She really needs practice writing her name. The really funny thing (well sad really I guess would be more like it) is that when she completed Head Start she was supposed to be Kindegarten ready...obviously that's not the case. I was thinking that grandson1 and granddaughter would be in the same grade level, but they won't. He's to be in Head Start this year and he just made 3. He'll be 4 when he finishes, not old enough for regular Kindegarten in public school, so I guess he'll go the same route granddaughter is taking now and go to Primary Colors for a year and then head to regular public school like his sister is doing now.
Right now I'm at the office. My sister, granddaughter, and nephew are with me. We're mostly here because sis needs some software on my computer (I have it on my laptop at home) and a quiet place to work. The nephew is finally asleep. We've taken them to the Visitor's Center (the snack bar was closed) and then into Picayune for lunch at BK. They were both asleep when we pulled up but granddaughter had just fallen asleep so she of course immediately woke up. She's been up off the blanket about 4 times now and is fixing to earn herself a pop on the butt and some time out. Sis is sitting at the table where we normally eat lunch. I have the pot lights on and set on dim, rather than the flourscents, and some soft relaxing music playing on the stereo. I'm ready for my nap now! I have a paper to whip up on E-Commerce.
Talked to my buddy in Florida the other day. He called to wish me a happy birthday...mine and his are 2 days apart (he's older!). We were catching up as much as we could in the office. He told me I needed to come spend a week at his house and get away from everything...he said he could hear the stress in my voice. I'd love to spend a week there, with him. About 10 years ago he moved to Florida and shortly after got a divorce (she decided she didn't want to move after all). He wanted me to move there then, but I'd just bought my house and didn't relish the idea of having to go through that again. Looking back, I really wish I had. I think we'd have been married and probably had a child together by now. He has a daughter that just graduated from high school. I think a lot of things would have turned out way better for me had I done that rather than pull back into my shell and stick with what is comfortable. Que Sera. He'll never leave Florida...likes it and his job too much to move back here. I can't leave now because too many people depend on me. Sucks.
Well sis needs to do some research for actual school work. Ha.
