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.
