School and Work

I'm glad next week is the last week of school. I need a break from everything. I'm not taking summer classes because my mom is tired of babysitting and needs a break too. I wish I could work part time and go to school part time but then I would have no way to pay my bills. If I could find a part time job that pays a full time wage would be great but that probably would never happen in customer service call centers. I can't wait to be finished with school though so I can actually start a career instead of having a job I really don't like. I work in tech support for an ISP and trying to explain to some people how to do something over the phone is irritating sometimes. The most annoying part of my job is when we speak to IT professionals and they think they know more that you and get really rude with you when you try to explain how to set up the modem. Each ISP do things different and when you finally prove to them that the way you were trying to explain works they don't even apologize. It's really frustrating to me. The only thing I like about my job is the work environment and my coworkers. It's a very laid back call center and everyone gets along. There is also good benefits. Those are the only reasons I stay where I'm at. Another year or 2 I should be graduating and hopefully get a job in the career I really want.

Weekend

This weekend I worked 5 hours overtime at work on Saturday. It was boring because nobody was really calling in. I feel like my weekend was too short because of it. I'm just glad I got a break from my kids. They fight way too much. At least they got some energy out while at my parents house. They love going over there to swim and ride their bikes. I wish I didn't live in an apartment complex so they could ride their bikes at our place. People drive way too fast and don't really pay attention if kids are there or not.

My children's great grandmother turned 95 yesterday. I think she's going to be one of those people who live to be in their 100's. She still hasn't told me her secret too a long life yet. She still lives on her own and even drives. She never travels far though just to places like the grocery store or bank which are less than a mile away from her home. I'm disappointed that we didn't get to see her yesterday but glad that she had a good time. One of her grandsons live a few hours away and a came and picked her up to spend time with his kids and few of her other grandkids. I know that really made her happy. All she talks about are her grandkids and great grandkids.

Last Week

For Memorial Day I took my kids to my parents house to swim. They enjoy swimming a lot even though my 10 year old is the only one that gets all the way into the pool. I swear my other kids are scared of getting in the pool even when they have life vests on and other flotation devices around them to use. My 4 year old was brave enough this weekend to let my 10 year old hold him in the pool. I'm just glad he's trying.

Thursday my 6 year old son's class had a end of year kindergarten show. It was really cute. Each kid had their own line to say so nobody was left out. They did a song where they pretend to play the piano, drums, and trumpet. My son really got into it when the drumming part came on. It was so cute. Him and his older brother are always drumming on stuff so I wasn't too surprised that was his favorite part. Maybe I'll enroll him in lessons.

My 10 year old is in 4th grade and he received his FCAT writing results. They expected him to get a 2 (3.5 is passing) and he ended up getting a 4. I'm really proud of him seeing as he was struggling so much with FCAT last year. I wish they had the rest of the FCAT results though. We'll see how he does on the new testing format next year.
