Weekend in Wichita
Let's see. On Friday Holly and I travelled to Wichita Falls because Saturday she had to take a teacher certification test at MSU to be certified to teach special ed. Why? Because next year she is going to forego teaching her usual 5th grade science and teach pre-k special ed - basically 3-4 year old kids who are developmentally disabled. It is a much easier job than 5th grade science and she can be gone the first half of the year with our kid and still get paid. Then when she comes back to work next year it will be pretty easy. I wonder if we could dress up our kid like a 3 year old would he pass for special ed? It would be humourous and save on daycare.
Mom is doing the usual. When we arrived the house was 86. I think the older you get the lower your metabolism gets. Her stories started to get mixed up the the other day though. She started talking about Dad's cousins in Seattle and ended up talking about kitty in Alaska like dad's cousins were the one who dunked her in the water. I know she got confused while telling it and I did too. Also this whole neighbor thing won't die and now it is coupled with the backyard neighbor who mom doesn't like. Basically it cost $1900 to fix mom's fence in the backyard and I shook hands with the neighbor saying he would pay for half. Well he didn't and mom had to pay for it all. So I ended up writing a note and putting it on his door saying I would sue him for the complete amount if he didn't pay up in a month. I think it is his fence anyways because the posts are in his yard.
So that drama doesn't seem to go away. The other lady who stole mom's card has still gotten away with it since mom didn't press charges and now the credit card company is harassing mom to pay the balance. I already filled out paperwork but apparently I didn't do it in time. That IMO is wrong and I will tell the card who exactly stole the money and that they should get it out of her and not my mom. I am really tired of people taking advantage of my mom. You always wonder about your parents and whether they understand how crooked the world has become. Probably not. Anyways, I went swimming on Saturday. Reminded me of past pool parties. That was fun. How was your weekend?
