Surprised

Do you ever have something happen that just totally surprises you and makes you question your judgement of a person? This happened to me recently. I was at a graduation for one of my siblings a couple of weeks ago and my Dad for some reason brought up my 8th grade graduation. Not even sure how it came about - I think he asked jokingly if my ds was graduating from 8th grade yet. Then he proceeded to tell me about my 8th grade graduation in great detail - things I'm sure my Mom doesn't remember about the event. Things I never would have thought my Dad even noticed. Who is this man who for the most of my life seemed totally disinterested in anything I did (at least from my view point)? A man who can recall emotions and feelings about a day long past, a day that is hard for me to even recall clearly. It really made me think about how I view/viewed him. I am still quite surprised about it.

Open House was last night. The kids had a great time. Both are looking forward to moving up a grade after visiting the next level classroom. Hopefully they'll both get the teachers of the classrooms we visited.

It's a holiday weekend. I'm excited that we don't have any major plans - we are planning on just hanging out and dining with friends one day and family on another. It's been a long time since we had a lazy weekend! Tomorrow I can even sleep in!!!!

14 more days of school!! 3 1/2 hours until my date with my hubby!
