Wednesday Sept 14

OK so let me start with yesterday, I was at work with all these plans to get this and that finished and I was going to have my desk all neat and stuff before I went home as I was only going to be there half a day today.  We I had a sub come in and ask about what day she was needed back and I saw the workshop I was suppose to go to today was actually yesterday.  I ran across the hall to the other secretary and told her if I left right then I could make it to Norman just as it started.  Call on another coworker to come mark high school lunch so I could hit the road, asked mom if she could be Austins ride home as I would not be back in time, found Austin and told him Aunt Bernie would take him home after school and I would see him Wed. morning.  So I jumped in my car and away I went praying I would not get behind a farmer and for the police to be otherwise occupied.  God listened and got me there with 3 minutes to spare.

So the workshop was not the most stimulating as it was over civil rights in the school, I almost fell asleep a couple of times.  I have gone to it  a few times already but have to attend so many a year.  I signed up for it not paying enough attention on the whats or the whens just the wheres, I would much rather drive to Norman than the capital.  After the workshop was done (2 hours of credit for taking it) I decided to run by Borders to see if they were still open as I had seen the ones that were still open had their stuff at 90 per cent off.  When I pulled in I saw they were closed so I went on to Barnes and Noble as I was now wanting to go book shopping.  Went there and found five books I could not live with out.  Then it was time to drive home.  By the time I got home I had such a headache from being so tense driving to Norman and back.

I snuck into the house and went straight to my room to lie down.  Patience came in there after a few minutes and was surprised to see me, she asked" when did you get home?"  I told her I had a headache so she got into bed and laid down by me to offer comfort. After a bit little mister came down the hall and asked the same thing, then he also climbed into bed.  Misti was the next one to come down the hall she then asked when did you come home but she did not get in bed, when Patience told her about my headache she told them to leave me alone. 

So today when I got off work we headed back to Norman to meet up with Brandy and girls as we had planned to do this when I thought my workshop was on Wednesday, since it was not Misti and kids were able to go with and join us for dinner.  We had Chinese the when we were done we went to Braums for dessert since the kids were wanting ice cream and I know they all love Braums.  We left there after and headed back home this being 8pm and a school night.  While I was driving I started asking Patience some math questions since a little bit earlier she had told Payton she was very good at math.  Guess what she is!  This child has the concept of multiplying down pat.  We started off with 4x4 and she knew the answer so we kept going 3x3, 2x3, 2x4, 3x4 and she was telling us the answer, then we went on to addition and then subtraction, I don't know who has been teaching her but she is good, the only one she did not know was , 2 bananas plus 3 apples, plus 1 orange when I asked her this one she said uh and I told her the answer is a fruit salad.  Ha Ha.  So tonight when we got home from Norman there was no headache just smiles..
