Well Auri went to the Homecoming dance last night with some girlfriends! She had a great time, stating it was "AWESOME!" She has made a nice group of friends and seems to be doing well. She has decided to join the school band and start playing the tuba again! I know I was surprised too! Most importantly, Auri has made it into the school play "Annie" (the musical) she will play the part of Ms Greer (one of Warbucks servants). The play will be Thurs Nov 29 thru Sat Dec 1.
Jamie is still mega-migraine free; Although he states that he has had little headaches off and on. He chose to stay home and "chill" instead of going to the dance last night. He is still working on his makeup work. There seems to be some confusion there....I will be speaking to the teachers this week. Parent- teacher conferences are Weds & Thurs. The soccer season is either finished or they may have a last game next week (divisionals). Jamie remains ineligible so he won't be able to get back on the team this year. Odds are that will probably affect him receiving a letter (i.e. letterman's jacket) this year...bummer. But, worse is that it decreases his bonding with the friends he made on the team :(
I think we will have to do something about that aspect, maybe the coach needs a manager like Auri does in Volleyball... I wish I had thought of that earlier! Maybe I will talk to him about having a little weekend movie party over here...
Kizzie (the dog) is recovering well from her ACL repair and remains on house arrest :) She gets very sad when we put the "lamp shade" collar on her and refuses to lift up her head (as if it weighed 20 lb. instead of a few ounces).
Everything else seems to be progressing well. There is always so much to do around here.... I will probably go find a part time nursing job to help with the bills. I looked into substitute teaching, and may follow thru with it, bit the pay is around $60 a day...that breaks down to $7.50 an hour. Nursing pays much less here then Vegas, of course, but I am sure I can at least double that wage. I am going to start rebuilding my massage skills and practice, starting with the kids and Jan (they are happy about that :).
Jan and I will be going to Vegas Oct 16 to pack up the rest of our stuff, load up the Uhaul and head back to Montana before the snows arrive (or at least before it gets bad). Grandpa Brew will come up and stay here with the kids Tues/Weds so that they can go to school, then take them back to Idaho for a few days till we pick them up on our way through. (No school Thurs/Fri).
