Sunday
August 24: After church, we met some friends from Fort Worth for a fun
afternoon in Uptown at the trolley, the splashpad, and the Dallas Museum of
Art.
Monday
August 25: First day of school for me! It was a simple 2 hour elective class
first thing int he morning, and then I spent the rest of the day on campus getting
organized. That night, Jamie’s school held their annual ice cream social to
meet the teachers and to explore the school. We met Jamie’s pre-K teacher, Ms.
Seiffort, who is so cute; Jamie was so excited to learn that she would be in
Ms. Seiffort’s class because she had already bonded with her at the pre-K
evaluation last spring J
Tuesday,
August 26: McKay had a super busy day off. He started it off with a parent teacher
conference with Jamie’s new teacher, and then ran many, many errands to get all
the last minute things for Jamie: a clothing boutique, a uniform store, and
Target twice were among the stops. He even arranged childcare for Jamie after
school because my crazy first week of school had me staying in class until five
on most days this first week. What an excellent man I married J I had my first Women’s
Health lab all morning, basically just orientation and meeting the faculty who
will be taking us through Parkland. That night McKay gave Jamie a start of
school blessing, which was awfully sweet. She was pretty excited because she
had seen Tyler get his a few weeks earlier.
Wednesday,
August 27: Jamie’s first day of school! She looked so darling in her full uniform.
Thursday,
August 28: Today was sort of awful at school. We had Adult lab topics all day,
in uniform with our skills bag, just sitting in the auditorium for eight hours.
We were so grumpy. Add to the mix that the lecturers seemed pretty disorganized,
and changed all the notes that morning, after we had all been studying the OLD notes
for days…there may have been audible dismay by the end.
Friday,
August 29: I had a fun skills labs for adult lab, learning IV piggy back, IV
push, and central line dressing changes. I couldn’t believe how laid back the
whole thing was. J1 skill check offs were about the most stressful thing I’ve
ever been through, and was expecting this to be round 2, but the professors
were super chill. They taught the skill, then read through the instructions as
we performed each step as a group, and that was it! They signed us off right
there and then. It was actually fun, and I feel like I just might retain the
skills since my mind didn’t go blank with terror during it J
Saturday,
August 30: The kids and I spent the morning in Plano at Joshua’s super hero birthday
party.
Funny
Things:
Tyler and Jamie were playing with army guys together: "Jamie, you’re an army guy." "I’m not! I'm an angry girl!"
When I try to make Jamie say thank you or hi to anyone, she pulls a face at me and says "Mom, you're making me weird!" This must mean shy??
