What a busy week! I can’t believe it’s Friday already. I also can’t believe the kids go back to school next week. Wasn’t their last day of school just yesterday?
My husband and I went to the kids’ schools yesterday for orientation. I expected it to be chaotic, disorganized, and absurd, and that trash school lived right up (or down) to my expectations. That school district isn’t qualified to teach rocks.
My husband tried to make the best of it, joking around with the kids, reviewing their class schedules, issuing pep talks about a good school year. But it was obvious to both of us that nothing has changed, nothing has gotten any better.
That is by no means a criticism of the kids. They are the only people in that entire inbred town who have more than two brain cells to rub together. Seeing the kids is always a good thing. I just wish it was in better circumstances for them. I wish I could leave feeling like they are in good hands, with everything they need for bright futures. Instead, I walk away feeling like I am leaving them in a pit of decay, surrounded by ignorance, and the only ones concerned by that, as usual, are me and their father.
I try to keep faith that since the kids are intelligent, they will rise above the circumstances being forced onto them. They deserve better. I wish everyone felt that way.
I got several compliments throughout the day yesterday, which was a nice surprise. One lady told me I have nice nails, and a young man said my top was a good color on me. My husband helped me pick out that top, so I let him know he does good work!
I also tried a new workout last night, so I will post a review of that soon. Happy Friday!
