Blue Roses

Long day. Another bad employee day - I had to leave at one. Between the heat and getting my period, I was in meltdown major. I came home and slept until 4, went with my parents to Josh's first piano lesson, now came home and will take a shower and go back to sleep. I feel like such a wuss, but the pain gets so bad! Coupled with the heat, it was just unbearable. <.sigh> Janie gets the same periods I do, and she says it's much better now that she's on the Pill. She talked to another woman who had the same problems, and she said it went away after her first kid was born. Also, the pain is just about as bad as childbirth, so at least I'm prepared. Small consolation, with motherhood so far off. LOL

The camp kinda went better, I guess. The little kids are always more well behaved - that's why I love 5-6 year olds so much. They pay attention, but are gaining their independence. I tried to be nicer to Kim and ask her opinion on things and stuff, and got totally rebuffed. Then at snack, I asked her next time to make sure the kids didn't start eating until snack was all set out in front of all of them and they ate at the same time because that's how they do it in schools around here, and the routine would help them in the long run. She started telling me no, that it wasn't necessary. I stood my ground though, and she was finally like, "Whatever." Which is such a bad response, because it is something the kids need to work on!

Josh's piano went AWESOMELY. I was so proud of him - he didn't holler once! He chatted with Miss Jones, and she made him laugh. So we really really like her. <.g> The lesson is at a senior center, so one of the available magazines is "Reminisce," which is stories and photographs and memories from the 20s-50s, basically. I snatched the subscription form for me. <.g> $40 for 3 years! Right up my alley.

Now I shall fall asleep with baseball. : ) Yay for the first Tuesday after the Fourth of July!
