Day 165: or The Day I Said My First Goodbyes

Back to the grindstone. The Mom stayed home again today for a doctor's appointment, and the 3 older kids went to their last day of school. It's already mid-June and school is just ending for them, but the Kid is in school until the 1st of July. I never had a day of school in June a day in my life. July? Man that's late. The Kid was home alone for lunch and we spent the rest of the break playing with the Cat. He wants me to take it to school so he can show it off but I keep telling him no. He doesn't quite understand why because obviously I could just carry it. I'm going to tell him to ask his Mom, so she can be the bad guy this time.


The Mom was going to pick him up from school but she had a last minute conference call. She was worried he would be upset, and I was a little worried he wouldn't be pleased to see me either but we made it all the way home before he realized there had been a switch. He hasn't had a fit at school in months, but when he did have them, they were awful, so I'm always a little wary still.


Dinner was easy enough, grilled sausage and mashed potatoes. Right before dinner I got a message telling me one of the other au pairs was leaving tomorrow. We were all getting together at the pub to say goodbye. I was able to take the car and stayed at the pub only a couple of hours. It's always nice to see the girls, but a Tuesday night is hard on all of us because Wednesdays are so long. It was a nice night and the 1st of many I'm sure. I can't believe we've reached this point already. Seems just last week I was meeting these girls.
