Today was a in important day for Rich. He has waited for this day since elementary school when he first heard they had dances at middle school! He wasn't sure about how to go about buying a ticket this week during lunch. So we convinced him to just ASK his friends! DUH! How hard can that be??? So he finally came home with a ticket mid-week. It was 80s themed, so what does a boy wear? He ended up wearing just denim shorts and a polo style shirt. He couldn't decide to 'pop' the collar or not, so he decided to wait til he got there to 'pop' it or leave it down.
NO! I was NOT the mom that honked the entire time her son got out until he reached the door. But Rich did walk in with that boy and they laughed about it. Now, we WERE those parents that got there 15 minutes early to pick him up to sit in the parking lot and watch all the kids coming out. Some girls were dressed way up, some were dressed 80s looking, and some were in plain school clothes. All the boys I saw were just in regular clothes...but hello...boys wore jeans and thsirts in the 80s just as they do today.
His reaction when he got to the car was that it was AWESOME and he can't wait until the next one. I remember in the 80s going to middle school dances and having the same thoughts. I even wearing my 1st mini skirt to a school dance!!! I think it may have been my LAST mini skirt, too!
I'm glad he was able to go even if his good friend was home sick and didn't go. No pictures because afterall...he just wore his regular clothes. "It is no big deal, mom!"

Today Rich had a BIG day....Math test, Science test, and Social Studies test!!! We studied our hineys off last night. Unfortunately, the math score was 53. Math is such a struggle for him...and me trying to teach him. He so keeps his head held high. Before we discussed the math results I asked him how he did and he seemed so confident. When I told him 53, it was like I totally knocked him down. I try not to cry, but I so feel like we (or I) am letting him down by not getting it through to him. Today was Basilio Rocha Day at his school. Last Friday Basilio was in the bathroom and another kid was chocking. He safely and effectively performed the Heimlich manuever on him and cleared his airway. It has drawn the attention of the local news media. Richard says it is 'gay', but I have assured him he needs to stick close to this kid when he can in case RICH starts choking.
Kiley had a great day at school. Tomorrow she FINALLY takes her 100 clothespins that she would not take today because it isn't DUE til Friday.
Wednesday, 9-Sept (09-09-09, cool, huh?)
Uneventful day at the office and school...thankfully. Just lotsa studying for Rich's tests tomorrow.

Kiley had cheer tonight and she worked on 'stunts'. She loved the climbing on other people and having them climb on her. I hit the resale shop next door for some bargains!
Monday, 7-Sept
Today Kiley and I went for our mani pedis! She loved every minute of it. We got fancy acrylic on our toenails...mine are white and hers are hot pink with flowers and sparkles. She just kept mouthing to me, "This is SO cool!!!". We did some shopping at her favorite store Justice. Got to use our spend $50 and save $25 coupons...both of them. Spent $58 and saved $76!!! Amost paid for the mani pedis...almost!
Mike started some training today to last thorugh Saturday. At least he gets to start early and get off at 3:30. We could all get used to that schedule!
Rich just hung around.
Weekend 5 & 6-Sept
Not much of anything. Mike worked the yard and we hung out in the house. Kiley and Rich stayed overnight with the Miller kids last night and Kiley came home sick. So we put off our mani pedis. By day's end she was feeling much better and went swimming at Aunt Reda and Uncle Billy's then we hit Chili's for dinner and stopped over at Aunt Tricia's for some Storri and Levi loving!
Friday, 4-Sept
Mike and Rich are headed to PA for the weekend to work on Mom's house. Unfortunately 1/2 of the DFW metroplex wanted to go as well and left no seats available for them. So no girly weekend for me and Kiley! Oh well!
Thursday, 3-Sept
Today was Kiley's day she got written up for talking at school. We have made it this far!

First day of school!!! Rich goes to 6th grade at Walnut Grove Middle School! MIDDLE SCHOOL I TELL YA! He rode the bus to and from. LOVES IT!!! Bus picks him up at 7:45 and drops him off at 4:15 about the time I'm coming and going. Should work out great!
Kiley is in 2nd grade at Longbranch. Instead of YMCA afterschool, Emma's Mammy will be picking her up and sitting with her until Rich or I get home. Hope it works out.
