dyk speaking of rebelling -- Sean's work "had" to manually write checks and he won't get his (they insist on dropping it off they said it's not at the office, the owner's wife has it and is running errands and will be here before 5) until around 5pm which means we won't have the funds unntil Monday
dyk I am SO FREAKING DONE WITH THEM
dyk several moms sampled and one said, Oh I know these are home-made so I'm in!
dyk and I wasn't signed up for anything for Dek's class, but I took the extras from Abi's party (they were back to back -- oy! 11:30-1:30 we did parties) and I hope the HEB cupcake mom didn't feel bad when 6 kids crowded around my cupcakes and ate them
dyk but cupcakes in a plastic container from HEB -- ew!
dyk um, WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD -- the days you don't walk out the door at 7:30 and get to have everything taken care of for you while you are at work and come home to a neat house and a hot dinner (and a hot wife!! haha!)
dyk remember this?

dyk I received a christmas card from this teacher and she told me I was one of the students that has always stood out in her mind and she has some of the very same memories from 4th grade. I was so excited to know that she did get my letter and that she remembered me too!
dyk turns out, she had run into my mom in Bay City (where we grew up and where my mom takes art lessons each week) at the Whataburger and they sat and talked and Mrs. Walton said that my letter made her cry.
dyk and even funnier is this line in the letter to her:
it occurred to me that I know a very special teacher who used to use those same transparency films, writing pre-algebraic equations in green to teach us via a projector
dyk in playing the "guess how many" in a jar full of gumdrops, Abi's teacher Mrs K wrote their guesses by their names on a transparancy -- IN GREEN MARKER
dyk when she write the first guess, and I saw the color I burst out laughing and everyone looked at me.
dyk I covered by saying, that's exactly what I was going to guess!
dyk sidebar -- I would have won BOTH guess the amounts if they had let the parents play.
dyk Abi ALMOST won the second one -- her answer being 69 and the answer being 57
dyk on the first one the answer was 199 I guess 188 and Abi guess 1,000
dyk she said at a garage sale she picked up a whole bunch of 100 and 150 piece puzzles to have in the classroom -- even though he's the only one that can do them
dyk and he does one every day
dyk I said yep, he's our little engineer
dyk and she goes, oh that's right you told me that on his resume!
dyk yep, but I am glad you told me!!!
dyk I need to get him some puzzles
dyk I swept the kitchen and dining and front room -- can't find the dust pan
dyk ugh this is why I don't do floors
dyk anyway, so I wanted to make a fish with more flambouyant tail strings -- LOVE the stark striking nature of the tail strings so this is the painting that I started on at my mom's this morning when it was time to stop to let the first one dry before I put the second wash on
dyk I can sketch simple shapes pretty well? My mom didn't know that, lol
dyk they took out $260 for uniform garnishment with a note on the stub that says -- "we will reimburse this once we get the final uniform count"
dyk all Sean's unforms are up at performance
