Tired…

Didn’t do the financial aid crap today…Took one look at the financial aid office when I walked by it today, and the amount of people trying to get things done…*shakes head* No bloody way.

Math: I don’t think anybody finished the sheet of problems she had for us. Only 3 or 4 of them actually required the use of the manipulatives. I’ve still got 3 to do. One…I don’t see me come up with an answer for. One of them I have done, I only have done due to catching bits and pieces of discussion about it, and scribbling some notes. The other two…Ug…I have to write word problems for…Which wouldn’t be so hard if they were plain numbers, but they are fractions, and I just can’t wrap my brain around it.
I need a word problem for 2/3 multiplied by 5/6      
&
I need a word problem for 3 divided by 2/3
Have a week to finish the portfolio for this section…I don’t think I’m even half way done with it.

I only have one more story and one more essay for English to read…So that shouldn’t take too much.

French…Ug…Don’t even want to think about that tonight.

Sonja informed me she was threatened with discipline regarding insubordination today at school…After hearing what happened (& when I told Mum, she had pretty much the same reaction)…Pretty much told her good job.
Harley was upset and feeling sad at school (because he knew he had to go to the Idiot’s after school) and wanted to go to the office. Sonja was going to take him. Mr. Diola tried to tell him he wasn’t going and that Sonja wasn’t taking him. She informed him that if Harley wanted to go to the office, he could go to the office, and she was going to be the one to take him.
In the end, he decided on not going…I think probably because Sonja did stand up for him, so he felt a little better.  Sonja says she did it just to give Mr. Diola a hard time…& while I do not doubt she enjoyed that part of it, I think she really did it for Harley.

Yesterday I got a text from Renea (the Idiot’s father’s 2nd wife)…Saying that yesterday was Dan Sr. (The Idiot’s father)’s birthday & asked if Sonja & Harley could call him and wish him a happy birthday.
So I had them do that…Put it on speaker phone and they said Happy Birthday…No big deal.
I get a text from Renea today saying that after we called him, he called her, and he was nearly crying because they had called to wish him a happy birthday. They were the only ones from up here to call him. Renea said she called Sandy (Idiot’s oldest sister) to remind her, and she said she was going to call last night & never did.
I’m glad the Critters called.

One of the woman in math class brought her little girl to class today…I managed to scare her. O.o
In contrast: Stopped in Glen’s on the way home & there were these two little girls, who were giggling like a couple of hyenas, and kept trying to get close, but not too close…Apparently they were in awe of me. O.o Didn’t catch everything they were saying between the giggles…But there was something about ‘awesome’…& something about my hair…Not sure if the color was involved in any of that…But they apparently liked my little pig tails.  Children are strange animals.

*sigh*
I just hope beyond hope that Harley is doing okay…I hate to think of him on his own there…
