I have been a little busy - STUDYING - actually (20+ hours this week alone). I set a goal to get all my ducks in a row to be 'qualified' and accepted to be a Non-Instructional Substitute in the school district here. I don't have an Assoc. Degree or 60 credit hours so extra testing required. I finished my online testing (last of 8) late last night. Prior to that I had to take a Para Professional test at the District offices.
Today, Tues. 3/6/12 was 1/2 day of school for kids. I had a limited amount of time this morning but got my friend, Nicole Prime to tag along on some errands for fun. My errands you ask?
1. Pickup Johns suits from JOS Banks - funny that I got off on the right exit and headed over but then turned N instead of S and was almost to 2nd errand before even getting the 1st one checked off my list. Oh well - I adjust well. Errand #1 will turn into Errand #3.
2. Drop of Scout re-chartering paperwork at the Scout office and request printout of my own son's progress. I have no idea where he really stands. They don't work on merit badges at scouts (someone explain that one to me) so I'm afraid he's horribly behind but don't even know. I was pretty on the ball with the older boys. Maybe because they started out with a really great Scout Master (Travis Mitchell) that got them off and running from the get go and maybe because my husband was Scout Master towards the end of their scouting experience and I was his go-to-GAL for badges and record upkeep.
3. HOBBY LOBBY! Why else do you think I was eager to go to the Scout office to drop off paperwork?! They are both in Ft. Myers. I have to have a reason to go to Ft. Myers and justify the trip to Hobby Lobby! We only had time to run in and get the fabric we had in mind and head back out. I want to make Macey a couple of under-skirt ruffle slips to make her dresses longer and Nicole is making some adorable bibs for baby gifts -Shhhh - don't tell. Nicole's youngest daughter had preschool so we rushed back to get her there almost on time. Another time we will do our browsing and really enjoy.
Parker had a friend, Max over after school. You know all they want to do is play video games. However, when I got home I made them take a break and treated them to a cold drink of their choice @Walgreen's (exciting, I know) and found kites & gliders. Perfect for our blustery & windy day in Florida. A little fresh air and outside time didn't hurt anyone - not even them.
I even treated myself to a little outside time and enjoyed feeling the wind in my hair. The boys decided to get out the skateboard, wood board, broom stick and take each other for a ride.
Macey and Janiel came back to our house. It is never hard to get them to be outside. They are masters at tree climbing. We have the perfect tree in our front yard and they spend HOURS up in it! Literally!

Good for you! I recently got my Georgia teaching certification (not that I really want to teach at the moment) and I know it's a lot of hard work! Seems like Collier County has really clamped down in recent years even for non-instructional positions.
We have a Hobby Lobby in tally about 25 mins. away and I LOVE to have an excuse to go there! :)
