May 11, 2009

It was a very busy afternoon and evening for us. I had to race home from work and get Caleb and be at their school by 4:15. Michael was singing with the choir at their principal’s retirement party. It was a nice little get together. I saw some people there I knew that I’d not seen in a while and Mrs. Lohmar too the time to talk to us before we left. She really seemed to be trying hard to make sure she talked to everyone. It’s just indicative of the kind of person she is and why she will be missed.

Then, we had just enough time to rush to Taco Bell to get some supper before we headed to Jefferson Middle School. This is where Michaela will go to school next year. They had an open house for the kids that will be going there next year for the first time so they could get a look at the building. We saw most of the people we know from girl scouts and a few people that we know from Guppy and haven’t seen in a while.

After that we had to go to Monroe for Michaela’s SOAR night. It was her last SOAR night because next year she’ll attend the gifted program at Jefferson and it’s called Quest there. Luckily, Monroe sits right next to Jefferson so all we had to do was walk across the parking lot.

I know Michaela is going to miss her teacher from SOAR next year. I’m going to miss her too. She was great with Michaela. I hope she gets a good Quest teacher next year.

This was the second Monday in a row that Michaela missed gymnastics. They probably are wondering where she has been. It could not be helped, though.
