Yesterday, I was cranky. There is no denying it. I complained and vented about an issue that has been bugging me for a LONG while.
Today, the kids joined Bill and I in working on my classroom; placing all the tables, chairs, and various other paraphernalia in its place. They did it without a single complaint. They did it cheerfully. When we got home, Helena mowed and trimmed the yard. Without being asked. Then I remembered that she often mows the lawn without being asked. She says she likes to do it. Will came and joined me in pulling weeds in the back yard. Without being asked. Cheerfully. I remembered that he has been known to do that occasionally, though not often.
Do I feel like a jerk for complaining?
No.
OK, maybe just a tiny bit. But, sometimes you just need to vent, you know? So thanks for being my outlet!
On another vein, this morning I intended to go down to the high school to pay the kids' class fees so they can pick up their textbooks from the book depository. I called in advance with a question, and I am so glad I did! The secretary answered my question, then advised me NOT to come in at the moment, because the school server was down and they couldn't process the fees. They were having a phenomenally BAD day! I called several times throughout the morning, but they never did get back online. I sure hope they get it straightened out by tomorrow! We are chomping at the bit to get the kids squared away with books and a parking pass. School starts in just over a week! Ahhh!
