When I was growing up school started after Labor Day and ended before Memorial Day. We had three whole months. Now kids have two months. But they rarely go to school for 5 straight days. Usually, it is 3-to-4-day weeks. It is a parent's nightmare.
My grandkid's school had every other Friday last year a 1/2 day. So, kids went to school for two hours. Daughters' solution and many of the other parents was to just not send them to school. This year to avoid that the district has late start every other Wednesday, making it really hard for the parents that have to be to work. The reason was to avoid parents taking kids out of school for the day and losing government money. How about just going back to the old way and quit with the 3 and 4 day school week. I am so happy my kids are out of school, as I would be telling the admin they were now on my time.
I was able to get the wedding dress done yesterday. It was a bugger to press. Full ball gown and so wrinkled. Bride will pick this evening. I will start on another wedding dress today. It has to go out next week and I have two more sets of wedding gear that have to be done in the next two weeks. I have plenty to do along with a few more formal dresses.
I am wiped out from sewing so hard the last 2 days, but I did get a lot done and most of it was nerve racking and hard. But I tell myself just take it one seam at a time.
I really need to take one of my sergers in for a tune up and new blades. I like to have two going at once. One white and one black. I could get by with one and change the thread accordingly. We will see. Changing serger thread is no joke.
We are in the dog days of summer here and it is very hot and will continue for another couple of weeks and then cool down to the 90's. Yes, that is cool here.
What fun and excitement do you have to do today? Hopefully it is a little better than my excitement.
God is good
Kim
