The other day someone started a fire at the high school so they evacuated and Ashleigh and Elliott got to go home early. It could have been a problem as I was working a special event and Lucie was sitting in a jury pool waiting to see if she got picked. They found a ride home and Lucie wound up not getting picked so it worked out OK.The kids are doing really well in school. Ashleigh has a new field hockey coach who is really working them hard but they are now 2-1 and Ashleigh has scored twice! Their hard work is paying off. Elliott got word the other day he got accepted into Wilmington Charter School. That high school is one of the top 100 schools in the country. But he isn't going to go. It is in a rough section of Wilmington (about a half hour away) and he would have to be driven back and forth. I am working in Wilmington now but our schedules wouldn't work out. And the school itself is in a run down dreary building. He is in advanced classes and the Cambridge program at Newark High so he will be fine. He, and we, are just happy he got in!
Work continues to go very well for me. I am loving it and fitting in. They threw a big retirement party for the guy I am replacing yesterday. It was quite emotional for him and I have big shoes to fill but I am ready. I have a week of corporate training next week which should be interesting.
I am closing down the pool today. I hate doing that. It is nice and breezy out but the daily air high temps are only in the 70º's now and the pool water was 69º this morning. Jasmine loves to sit on the top step in the pool and enjoy her personal Jacuzzi (there are jets in the steps) so she will be sad too when I cover it up. She told me so...
