The gents here are on a week and a half-long Spring Break. Today is the first full day. Yesterday was a half day, with parent-teacher conferences from 12-8. Reminded me of my former life. :-)
I was glad to get the chance to go and see what Omaha Public Schools were all about- especially in regard to educating our boys. Can't say I was too impressed. I met one of the boy's Learning Support Teacher and she knew he had a SLD in Reading, but had no idea of his levels or accommodations- and it's mid-March... Tsk, Tsk. Made me proud- because I took pride in knowing my kids. So that was disheartening. However, we met another special education teacher and he was awesome! He was a retired from working in juvenille law. He has worked with one of our kiddos for 2 years now (and will his junior and senior years) and has been his stability while he has dealt with lots of placement changes and stuff at home, so it was really awesome to hear the great relationship they had. Made me smile.
We have off Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Tentatively, I'd like to unpack once and for all on Saturday, Sunday enjoy St. Patrick's Day, and Monday go for a drive to see the amazing Nebraska Country Side.
Our kitties got declawed yesterday. The vet called and said everything went well and that they are doing fine. I'm going to pick them up today around 3. Since we are working all day, I'd rather have them around people just in case anything happens.
More pictures to follow! I'm hoping if everything gets unpacked and cleaned up, we will have pics of the apartment and more pictures of our babies. :-)
For now, though, here is a picture of the Des Moines Renaissance Faire, which makes me super excited to be able to get my fix of Faire food and entertainment:
It looks amazing!! :-)
Farewell!
