What a day!

Wednesdays have always been pretty busy around these parts. Now that school is in full swing, they are even busier. Connor and Anna get out of school early on Wednesdays (1pm) so that necessitates another trip to North Salt Lake (there and back 3 times!) It's about 15 minutes each way. Fun times.

Today I got pulled over after dropping Tristan off at school. I failed to come to a complete stop. It's true, I did just do the rolling stop thing. I can't believe the police officer gave me a ticket! I can't even just call in and pay it either. I actually have to go to court. LAME. Go pick on someone who is really breaking the law.

Tristan only had an ok day at school. I guess he had trouble following directions when he was reading aloud during Science. The teacher's aide was really upset. I have some words of advice for her. "when you work with 13 and 14 year old boys, there are going to be days when simple directions aren't followed." thanks.

I was feeling kind of lonely today and actually wishing they would call me in to Substitute. I know now that I need to save my energy for everything that happens after school!

oh, I updated my book blog. there is a link to it over on the left of the page. I've read 6 books in August (and about 200+ pages of Shell Seekers but gave it up (yawn)). I've read some good ones this month, go check it out.

Also, please leave a comment if you are reading this. I feel like there are maybe 3 readers if I'm lucky. I'd like to know that someone out there is reading me!

Blah! What a day! I have gotten a ticket for a rolling stop...except I SWEAR I stopped. That was 8 years ago in college during finals week, and the week of my sisters wedding.

I also feel like no one ever reads my blog, but I read yours I promise. I love getting comments on my posts too. ;)

Sounds like a busy day, with lots of driving. Considering where we live, 15 mins. isn't bad. Hang in there.

15 minutes isn't bad. but it's 15 minutes there, 15 minutes home times 3. 1 1/2 hours in the car just getting kids to school and back. I need some good audio books!

I'm a subscriber but not a good commenter! I enjoy reading about how things are going though.

Audio books are awesome!
