Played with my macro setting at work one day, sometimes it's tricky trying to find something to do now that we are shutting down. Had fun with the raindrops, and came up with this page for the LOAD. I swear it is my scanner that is crooked, not me.
Can I vent about my daughter's school for a minute? I just had to send the following email there tonight and I'm still a bit perturbed about this.
Hannah brought home a note from you stating that she had to have a pair of headphones by Tuesday, the 8th, which is tomorrow. She tells me that she just got this paper today. After working a full day, picking my daughter up from SEP and taking her straight to Brownies, then coming home and making her dinner, we are now getting ready for bed and I’m going through her backpack. You really expect to give us one day’s notice to produce these or have to pay $15 for a pair through the school? That seems a bit high and the timeframe is unfair to those of us who work full time.
Hannah will not have a pair tomorrow, but I will purchase a pair in the next day or two and send them in with her. Please do not give her a $15 pair of headphones from the school and charge us for it, as that does not fit in our budget.
Sigh, I'm probably overreacting, but geez, this isn't the first time they've given us hardly any notice for something. The last time it was for Hannah getting an award at an assembly, they sent home a note the night before saying they hoped I could make it. Luckily, my job is in such a situation now that I could come in late, but before, I would have needed at least a couple days notice to arrange for it. It just irritates me. They could have sent this note home before winter break and I would have had the headphones sent in with her today. Ok, deep cleansing breath...let it go.

Love the layout, but can we talk about the note? Grrr... I would have done exactly what you did, only I'd follow that up with a note to the principal as well explaining that one day notice will NEVER work for you... oh boy Lisa, you've got me riled up! You want I should come take care of the school for ya? Grrr...
That is so frustrating! Hopefully they'll take your email and make a change.
Oh man, that school would get a call from me! But I never have the school to blame it's always my kids that give me the stuff late! LOL!
