Half Done

Summer school is officially half over. A lot of kids were absent today, I wonder if they are getting tired of working hard?
The past two afternoons I have been chief babysitter for a friend's baby while she took some computer classes. The baby is 2 months old. Yesterday I thought she cried for a long time (must have been 5 minutes or so) but today I couldn't comfort her and the cry was off and on all afternoon. Maybe a tummyache? She still was fun. Tomorrow afternoon I need to work on some of my stuff, though.
The weather has been much improved this week, hasn't it? I'd like temperatures just like this until August. The South Skunk is still very high but beginning to fall.

A nice day

Finally, a nice pleasant temperatured day. It didn't rain today. I don't know why I am complaining, so many people are suffering right now. I can't imagine what it is like to be in Cedar Rapids, for instance and I saw on the news that ALL bridges in Cedar County are closed?
One week of summer school is done and not a moment too soon. You can tell in about five minutes why these kids were invited to attend. I don't know if anything I did all week made a difference, whether anyone heard a word I said.
I will get to visit (and receive services from) Chelsey's new place of business tomorrow. I am looking forward to seeing it. I think she is excited.
I had a very nice birthday with lunch with friends and a nice surprise from Laura! Makes getting older easier to take!
