One Month???

I just realized that once again, a month has passed since my last post.

Well, summer school has ended and one of the teachers I worked with will most likely not have a summer school teaching job in Appleton next year. She was not exactly cut out to work with the kindergartners (yet teaching preschool is her full time job?? If you figure that one out, let me know) Her dress was not exactly the most appropriate to be working at an elementary school. But the session is over and we will just have to wait and she what happens for next year, but the coordinator knows that neither I or the other teacher have the desire to work with her. (I am pretty sure the site coordinator doesn't want her back next year either.)

I spent the week after summer school in Watertown, taking care of my mom who fractured her knee falling down the stairs at my grandma's house. Dad was out of town that week and with Adam's crazy work schedule, she would have been alone a lot of the day (and she had some doctors appointments to go to) so I volunteered to spend the week there. Everyone involved survived the week and she should be getting the staples out today. Hopefully all goes well there.

This weekend will be our landscaping removal weekend. We are ripping out the little bit of bushes that are dying in the front of the house, as well as all the lava rocks that are everywhere. Grass will be planted for now and we may eventually decide to add plants again for curb appeal later. So the dirt is being delivered tonight and the dumpster is coming tomorrow morning. And then the friends come to also give a had with the "demolition". (Funny how all Brian's wish list projects get done, but I am still waiting for the bedroom wall to get painted :))

Keep on the lookout for before and after pictures from the weekend. And pray the rain holds off!!!
