today

Had an uneventful morning. Of note: I was able to "wake up" for the kids, as opposed to letting Lisa yell at them for an hour or two before I finally woke up. Especially odd, that, since I went to bed late.

This afternoon was the Volunteer Banquet. They told us to arrive by 4pm, and when I got there at 4:10, I was among the first 15 (expecting about 150 people). I had hired my baby-sitter expecting to stay for about 2 hours, but by 5pm it was clear they had other plans. The program STARTED at 5, and for the next hour they gave out awards. I finally had to leave to "relieve" the baby-sitter, as she had another appointment at 6:30. But before I left, I asked the kitchen to get my meal to go, and I would come back and pick it up at 6:30. So I got the kids, and we headed back. My dinner was NOT ready when I got there, so I had to sit with the kids at the ESC table while they served everyone else first. I wish the lady had told me that when I first talked to her; I wouldn't have come back so soon. Finally got the dinner and came back to the house. yay! By that time, the kids had 1/2 hour to play before bath time, then LittleK went to bed.

Now it's after midnight, and BigK is still awake. It's Friday, and the neighbors wanted to grill late and talk later. I joined in, since I like them. :) I was going to bed, but can't sleep. Probably the 5 or 10 chocolate chip cookies I ate. *burp*

Okay, I'm going to take a try at learning some stuff in Paint Shop Pro now. see ya!
