Busy Days Lately
The kids are getting settled into the school routine, I think. Erin had a MAJOR problem with a girl her age that started at the end of last school year and continued into this year. Basically, this girl is a pervert- she was making Erin feel uncomfortable. Erin told her last year that she didn’t want to be friends with her anymore and to stay away from her. The girl continued to pester her and have their mutual friends bug her to be friends with her again. Erin came home from school crying. I ended up calling the mother, which was a waste of time. Sam and I then went to the school nurse and Principal. Since then, things have calmed down. I drive Jake and Erin to school on my days off now and Sam drives them when I am working. The only time they have to ride the bus (the girl and her brother ride the same bus) is in the afternoon when I am at work. Hopefully, there won’t be any further problems.
Tara and Jake really wanted to join the gym I belong to and have been bugging me for months. So, I bought a family membership last week. It’s less than twice the monthly cost for the family membership. Erin has been going too. I take them there after school. It’s less than 2 miles from our house so they can walk there on Saturdays when I’m working. Sam says he’ll go sometimes - we’ll see.
I ordered new cellphones 2 days ago and am VERY anxiously awaiting the FedEx truck to come today. Verizon gives a huge discount toward new phones. Basically, you get a new phone for free every 20 months. If you want a better phone than the free ones, you pay a little. I got a $250 phone for myself for $100 and got a $140 phone for Sam for $20. The kids got $100 phones for free. They should be arriving today, except for Jake’s which I can’t order until tomorrow because his upgrade isn’t due until then. Free shipping too and they arrive in 2 days.

Kids are back at school
The kids are back at school and I’m back at blogging!! I can’t decide which is better! Thanks to Jeramiah, we now have a new website. I’m not quite sure how it all works because I’ve been so busy. After we got back from Phoenix on August 4th, I had to work 3 days in a row, had one off and then worked 2. I did have the 5th and 6th off to get the kids situated for the first day of school. Anyway, it seems I don’t have any free time except late at night when I watch the Olympics. I have to get up at 5 am when I work and 6 am on school days that I don’t work. Since I have to work this weekend, I won’t get to sleep in at all until next weekend.
Jake and Erin are at a brand new school. The school is divided in half - the Middle School on one side and the Junior High School on the other. The playgrounds aren’t completed and there is major road construction in front of the school. They are working on a Round-About to keep traffic going slow in front of the school. I hope they are going to widen the road and install sidewalks and bike lanes because it is pretty scary right now. It seems dangerous for the kids walking and riding their bikes to school.
