TGIF

Well it's a wet rainy Friday.

Still no progress on Alan's school transportation issue. Again, it's being tossed back to me with little help from the district. Alan happened to get a packet for a public school fundraiser with a PTA representative. I called her and at least a message has been left for the new president who may not know about the school's voice mailbox. I don't know why it's so hard to get hold of the PTA here - Mark thought about contacting the NJ State PTA even. Growing up in Oceanside, NY they put out a directory every year of the staff and PTA. I remember chuckling every year at the teacher's first names (there was a Blossom Ritter!). Granted Oceanside had more schools physically than Little Ferry - about 9, but still....

I bid on the wooden bed. I think we'll win it. I'm thinking of getting a solid blue sheet set with comforter and then getting a Thomas or Cars set of sheets for a spare. We'll need 2 sets and if I make the solid one the primary, it will last him longer in terms of design.

Ordered from Gymboree last night. Actually twice as the first one I cancelled due to sending it home by mistake.

Tommorrow we go to Baltimore - Mark, myself, Alan and MIL. We plan to meet luscious_purple at the aquarium.

Spec review meeting coming up - got to print documents - and wake up!

Transportation for school can be such a pain for working moms. That's one of the big reasons we are at the daycare we are now because they own their own buses and will bus to/from the schools in Rockaway. Otherwise I would have to be at home to put Hannah on the bus for PM kindy and home again to take her off. That would never happen with my working.

The bed idea for Alan sound good to me. We have a bunch of sheets for both kids because we are totally lazy when it comes to laundry.

Have fun in Baltimore.

It still boggles me sometimes that it's safer there to send packages to your work than to home. :) The postal service is sure strange!

Speaking with the PTA is a great idea. I really hope you get some results!

Its not really a safety thing. Sometimes I don't want Mark to see my purchases for Alan (he'll complain about space...yet he stocks up on food when the freezer is full!) Although one store I shop from is signature required which work will do even though it isn't work related at all.
