Fortunately, the girls have been racking up the babysitting hours this week.
Unfortunately, today's job was one where the Dad couldn't pick them up because he can't fit all the kids and the girls in his car (and the Mom had the van) and so I had to drive them there for just after 8:00am.
Fortunately, this meant I was out of the house and on my way to school to get things done.
Unfortunately, it means that 8:36 is the longest I slept in this entire summer.
Fortunately, McDonald's still has their "only a dollar, all summer" iced coffees available.
Unfortunately, just like summer, this is coming to an end.
Fortunately, I was able to stop at Dollarama to pick up the last of the items I needed
Unfortunately, after I got to school I realized I was still missing something and will have to make 1 more stop there before next week.
Fortunately, I work with good people and awesome families
Unfortunately, many of them were there today and stopped by to chat. This means I didn't accomplish as much as I wanted to.
Fortunately, it's a slow ease in week and with the kids away on a youth retreat next weekend, I should be able to get the rest done before the first official week.
Unfortunately, I hate feeling "behind" on the first day.
Fortunately, the new principal helped clarify things in my schedule for the coming year.
Unfortunately, despite many "ela" reminders, he keeps calling me Pam.
Grr!
Fortunately, he doesn't seem to be offended when I remind him every time.
Unfortunately, we have a new teacher named Pamela starting in September and I don't want to be the one to have to go by "Pam". I think we can both be "Pamela"s since that is our name.
Fortunately, there are way worse inconveniences at work
Unfortunately, I am kind of petty in this area :)
Fortunately, I did get some stuff done in the 7 hours I was at school.
Unfortunately, it was all in the non-airconditioned school and it was a hot one today.
Fortunately, I had an air-conditioned ride home
Unfortunately, when I got home the girls had still not arrived.
Fortunately, we were invited for supper by my BIL and SIL
Unfortunately, they got home so late that we didn't make it.
Fortunately, my BIL and SIL did make progress on their shingling endeavour
Unfortunately, by the time we would have gone out there, the job would have basically been done.
Fortunately, the girls and I were able to head out to the mall because Kiandra still owed Kezia a pair of shoes for wearing Kezia's on set when she couldn't find hers.
Unfortunately, the nicest pair we found was not available in Kezia's size.
Fortunately, there was a pair at a different store and we got a $6 off coupon for our trouble to get there.
Unfortunately, we have to make an extra trip to get there.
Fortunately, we were home in time to head to bed at an early hour
Unfortunately, we all needed it!
