Day Sixty-Five, I'm Stayin' Alive on Tuesday Night

"Some up, some down", the name one of my preschool students from days of yore gave to her favorite hairstyle. She would beg me to fix her hair if it came down during school. She had thick, shiny, long hair, it fell almost to her waist and had just enough wave to it that it all stayed put when it was braided, I know this because I was allowed to braid it once, just once. All of the other times, she wanted "some up, some down". I tried so hard to talk her into fancy, french braids, or twists that came together into braids, fancy buns anything else, but it was always the same, and besides the one braiding time, I always gave her "some up, some down" Which is the kind of day I had today, Not an Alexander day (which is terrible, horrible, no good and very bad), but a little of this and a little of that.

Primo and I went on a tour of a prospective high school, which was informative and reassuring. The staff was engaged and positive, I ran into old friends from Prima's kindergarten days, newer friends from Primo's kindergarten days and some of his friends from this year. Oh yeah, and we ran into several students we know in the classes. I do always love it when my community shows up around me. We opted for the upper campus tour as well and it was fantastic. It was completely student led and they children were bright (as in sparkly), enthusiastic, well spoken, informed and informative. It was clear they were proud of their school (it kind of functions as it's own self-contained, mini-campus) and were eager to share everything they loved about it with us. If I could enroll him in that part of the school right now, I would.

TR and I did a quick fix on the cottage roof, it was so fun (and a little scary) to be up there and it's always satisfying to get something done that really needs to be done, with my best friend too! It also made me realize that we really can re-roof it ourselves, we will just need help with the haul away, but that is probably the easiest kind of worker to find, someone to haul debris away.

Besides that it was a pretty quiet day, dinner at home (yay!) and watching a re-run of SNL with Primo after getting all of our necessary work done. Now it is midnight-thiry and I am ready for bed. I think I may have to move to a mid-day check in, instead of this rush-to-finish style entry, also I need to go out and take more pictures! Thats it for me for today, goodnight!
