Following a breakfast conversation on Tuesday during which the children all agreed they would be better off without school, Poppy apparently decided to take action on this.
I have no idea where she got the phrasing for this, but she might be a great lawyer one day.
The principal was shown this and told Poppy she'd start looking for a replacement for her, but no promises.
Good thing our principal has a sense of humor.
I was in town on Thursday and saw an interesting truck in the auto parts store parking lot. The tires gave me pause.
I really don't understand when this might be necessary. All I could think about was car-chase scenes in James Bond.
I bought our Thanksgiving turkey while I was in town. It's a large one and would have taken up most of the big cooler. I needed the space for other things and I decided that given the fact it takes days to fully defrost a turkey that big, it would be just fine in the car for the 90 minutes it takes me to get home.
I did wrap it in a towel for some insulation and it was, indeed, not at all thawed when I got home.
Now that I'm not working, I tend to wear the same clothes for a few days in a row. I did decide on Thursday that I should probably wear something cleaner for my trip to town, though, so I put on clean jeans. Unfortunately, I did this BEFORE building the fire, with the predictable result.
I changed out of these before I left the house.
One boy has been asking to go camping for awhile now, but we couldn't find a free weekend with good weather to make it happen. This past week was very warm, however, and finally nothing else going on, so I made plans with his friend's mom for the two boys to camp a short way from their house on a giant ranch. It's below the hill, so it was a bit warmer than at our house.
Heading down in the morning to pick up the camper.
There you have it! My life, snapshotted.
