August Fourth Evening…

 

I have eaten too much today… Had lasagna for lunch, then ended up having chips and salsa after getting back from son2’s school… Now we have just finished dinner and I had two helpings of pork, carrots, pasta and lima beans… I’m stuffed… We’re watching The Lightening Thief… son3 is too excited about the movie… he went swimming just a bit ago before dinner… and has also been catching up on all his eating the last couple of days…

We went to son2’s school… took five minutes to pick up his schedule and then the drama ensues… when we went to high school, you just got the classes you got right… now they pick up their schedules and then get in line to change them… This is the third year now that son2 has fought his schedule… I tell him it doesn’t matter what the schedule says he is not going to like it… So after an hour of us discussing, him not calmly, and then him waiting in line with his friends, his schedule was changed and he was all happy… His final schedule: PE, Anatomy Psychology, English 3, US History, Geometry, Zoology, Home Economics-Cooking and Sewing and Drawing/Painting… The three classes that he changed… Algebra/Geometry to just Geometry… he had Geometry last year but didn’t really pass with a very good grade so he wasn’t able to go to Algebra 2… so the class they gave him was an in between class that was new this year, it is also at the other campus and he would have had to take the shuttle during lunch to get to it… so he switched and decided to retake Geometry to improve his grade and he does not have to go to the other campus… He also had both his electives as Diesel Engines, I guess it covers two class periods… he had requested small engines as an elective but not diesel… so they switched his electives to Home Economics and Drawing… these are what he originally had signed up for… I said weren’t they full and that is why you didn’t get them… he said probably so on the first day of class when the teacher decides there are too many students they will send the freshmen out, since he is a junior he is safe…

Son2 read all the Percy Jackson books at the beginning of summer… He is not liking the movie cause it is not following the book at all… the rest of us have not read the books so are just trying to enjoy the movie… hubby is getting grumpy with son2 who is also grumpy… son3 was grumpy earlier having to do his four math practice pages and has promised me he is going to read two chapters in his Prince of Persia book tomorrow… I’m just tired…. I’m thinking everyone needs to go to bed early tonight… Son1 is helping a friend with their car breaks, don’t know if he fixed his clutch yet but is driving the jeep… he still needs to get gas in our car he borrowed and the van is short on gas too… we all work tomorrow, hopefully we all have a car and gas to get there…

Son2 is eating a popsicle, son3 is having a pudding and cookies… I hear cars in the front yard, must be son1 working on his jeep… think I’ll have a popsicle and we’ll finish the movie….

Happy Journaling…
