 Can I bring my dogs to work????

flan

Mainlining it now.

Morning.

Have fun IKWTDS.

I'm tired, too.

Caitlyn came in my room last night and we talked till very late. I won't even pretend I don't like that.

School starts 15 earlier this week and next. Because of testing.

But it's just freshman lit. that needs the extra time.

The whole school is testing. Something benchmark test.

Then they have end of year tests and end of course tests.

They will be testing the last 3 days of school.

It's ridiculous.

Oh well. One more year and it's done.

Ya'll have a great day.

Morning! Want to fake sick and leave! he, he

Good morning!

Sounds like a great day for you and your DD, IKWTDS. Love it!

FNW, wow, your work offers a lot for the kids. Have fun tomorrow!

Rained all night here and is still raining. A good day for quilting I think.

Question for y'all. What do you use to hang things from the ceiling with the least amount of damage? What I want to hang is just under 2 pounds?

I would use one of those screw hooks...

 I ordered some command strips for the ceiling, but they won't hold that much weight.  I hate to put holes in my pretty ceiling.....

 Its nice that you and Caitlyn are so close.

Lily - we're testing, too. The Georgia Milestones Test. DD12 has math today.

Everyday this week. Sucks.

I have fond memories of take your daughter to work day. My parents still owned their business, so I went with dad a couple times. And one year, my Girl Scout troop got to do a day at the hospital. Our leader worked there and set it all up. We were all assigned to different departments. It was really neat.

---

 I have brought my kids to work, one at a time... I put them to work and they got paid at the end of the day. 

It was fun, now they earn their own money.

 That's what we're doing. Couldn't remember the name.

 

I used to bring my kids to work. They liked to make copies and look up stuff for me. They are too old for that now...:(

 We were at the office all the time, not just bring your kid to work day. And dad always put us to work, filing, stuffing envelopes, answer the phone, all kinds of things. We didn't get paid though, we were cheap labor - pizza for dinner and we worked our tails off lol

 Last year I took them to the neuroscience building where they made rat brains with plaster of paris, held real brains from rats, lambs, eyes from chimps, etc.  They put beer goggles on them and had them walk the line and another pair of vision altering glasses while shooting nerf guns, etc.  Then we went to another building and learned about the grants process.  I thought that was going to be a little boring, but they made it fun and interesting by dressing the kids up and doing role modeling, etc., then had the match the cards up to the process.  #1 was a scientist with really big clown glasses.    

Yeah, TYCTWD is a big thing at our agency.  

I went to work with mom every day from 1st grade to 8th.

She drove the school bus.

Soooo...for the first time in years YEARS, I have a zit. It's been bothering me all freakin day. And now I feel another one coming along. WTF????

Are you starting menopause?

That's been going on for a while... 

I never worked at a place that did BYKTWD. I did, however, work in schools so sometimes I'd bring the ex's daughter with me when she was at our place and he and I would both be working.

I remember my friend bringing her daughter to class when we were in law school. Poor girl looked bored out of her mind.

My niece would call me and ask to come in. Sure! We hung out all the time.

This 'why' stage is going to the be the death of me. Not really. But it is annoying. And, yes, I'm sure I'll miss it some day in the distant future. But hey, my little man is learning and that's an awesome thing.

 Turn it on him. Ask him "why not".

 I turn it around and say "Why do you think?" Makes them think about things and it's interesting to hear their reasoning.
