Two Bummers:

1. I always imagined that when my grandparents started to "show their age," my father and I would be there to support each other. Whoops on that one.

2. Jen got Punk to day care this morning and all of the doors were locked, and the day care provider wasn't answering her phone. We were really worried about her, as she is super responsible and that is just not like her. Jen took Punk to her job temporarily and I left work to go and get her. When I got her home, I checked the voicemail and there was a message from her husband at 6:30am saying that she was sick and needed to close the day care today. Whoops!

And an un-bummer:

When I got to Jen's job, I could hear Punk chattering away, so I followed the sounds to Jen's classroom. Punk was sitting on a swivel-chair in a row of students, colored pencils in her hand and streaming video from PBS Sprout on the monitor in her station. She had already eaten Jen's cottage cheese and one of Jen's student's banana. So umm, needless to say, she really didn't want to leave to come home. Heh.

HOW CUTE! :)

(definite bummer about the daycare - the joys of a family operation!)

But the image of her sitting in her little chair with her little pencils, swiping the other kids snacks... too funny! :)

especially when the other "kids" are my students whose ages range from 18 to 59. The woman who gave her banana to Punkin, and helped me get all of her stuff and my stuff inside as well as watche dher while I tried to get cell service so I could talk to Jude, is in her 50's and has two kids ages 10 - 14 herself! They were all doting on her:)
