Another 5:20 wake-up, another morning of van Halen. VH and I go way back and like to reunite
every once in a while.
Another successful drop-off at school and another successful
day at JH. I was told this evening by a colleague that it is funny how I am so
excited to be at this facility when, for so long, it was a place no one wanted to
be placed in. I’ve got a couple more
weeks and have already begun my silent state of mourning in leaving.
The kiddos had a science fair today, so I headed over to
support my children in their love of science.
The exciting thing here is that last night we had a Big Storm and many
trees were downed, which meant many lost power.
The school (upper campus at least) lost electricity - yet still, they were able to forge
ahead. I saw Ethan’s Rube Goldberg
contribution and Maggie’s Fluorine paper (which wasn’t part of the science fair
but her contribution wasn’t able to print out as there was no power). The Girl loves and enjoys school, but it was this portion of the year that he, The Boy Who Doesn't Care For School, has enjoyed building and creating. 
Headed home after to the joys of our new Instant Pot. Ethan dared to utter the words – “Ohh, we can
have good food now!” But he said it with a grin as he watched for my reaction. This thing has a pressure cooker and can heat
up a pot roast in very little time. I
will admit, it is going to help me with my secret chili recipe for Hipnic.
Off to what I found out would be my last night of Parent
Project – I will either get additional clients or work less hours. I'll miss working with my J-Ber (who else will give her bra issues to worry about??) and I will miss
interacting with all these parents. I
headed home, where my Girl & my Boy waited for me. My Sweet Daughter had made the protein pancakes
for me, so I wouldn’t have to cook when
I got home late from group. Love that
girl. The Boy had something he wanted to talk to me about – he has decided that purchasing
a dirt bike may not be the smartest decision
as it is expensive and would take a long time to save for, plus it can only be
done at certain times. Instead, he told
me, his passion is taking things apart and creating things, and he’d like to
build a workbench with me and then buy tools to make things – even possible
starting a YouTube channel where there is the small potential of earning some
money. I love this idea. This is where Ethan blossoms as he is telling
me about possibilities he has. This
is also how he learns. Now that we are
here for a minute, I guess it’s time to unpack a bit and settle down for the
lessons.
