Catching up...

It has been a crazy busy week around here. Despite graduation, Maggie returned to school to finish out the last two days with her classmates. School is her social center, so she was delighted to go.

That gave me the opportunity to gather all the supplies from this classroom and have them ready for summer school. There are two huge bags of diapers, tubes, food, meds and other supplies. I am just leaving those intact in the back of the van to bring to the summer school site. If I move it I will use something and then have to run around to get her set up at the new place.

I also had the opportunity to get some gifts for the teacher and staff in Maggie's classroom.There is the teacher and the nurse and two aides who I felt must have something from me.There are countless others as well, but I focused on the classroom staff. This is the end of three wonderful years. Of course there is no way to convey the thanks I feel, but I was happy to give something.

In unfortunate news, Tim's days as a kilt wearer are numbered. In fact the number is 1. His last day at the Scottish Import store is tomorrow after only two weeks on the job. Seems the boss man finally read the rules on Wednesday as he was preparing Tim's first check. In addition to the charming kilts, rugby equipment, cashmere sweater and tweed caps sold at this store there is very high end single malt scotch. They have open tastings. Open alcohol presents more stringent rules. Turns out you have to be 21 to work there. Tim will be 19 on Wednesday. To say he is bummed is a gross understatement. So it's back to square one on the job search, but at least this time he has some walking around money.

Tonight Maggie is having her first ever sleepover. Her friends Jordan and Sierra are coming over. At first it was just Jordan, but I decided it would be easier if there were two of them. Once Maggie goes to bed she is hooked up to all sorts of machines and the girls will then have each other to hang out with. I'm not really sure how this will go, but they've been hinting around at this for a while and ...what the heck. They have been good friends to Maggie for a couple of years now. Maggie's limitations don't seem to bother them, so we're going to give it a whirl.

Here they are together on Maggies graduation day. They were the designated "Mobility partners" for Maggie and her classmate Grimaldy who was also graduating. The girls were assigned to push the wheelchairs across the stage and back to their place. At the last minute Griimaldy skipped the ceremony, so Sierra accepted his diploma for him.

We will have a fun evening of music and perhaps another showing of "Paul Blart, Mall Cop."

Yes, I said another. It came from Netflix the other day and we laughed all the way through it.

Don't judge me. That movie is funny.
