The Day Before the First Day


Tomorrow is the first day of School for SuperPizzaBoy. He was feeling a little nervous about it so Sweetie called me and said we needed to do something special for the Boy this evening. I’m always up for something special so instead of running after work on the river trail I came home.

When I got home I found that he had been working on a Godzilla movie. He is doing the screen play. I loved it. His best friend Q is a Godzilla fan. He is coming over for a sleepover on Friday night. I can tell they are going to work on the movie in amongst the Pokemon discussions, video games, and pizza chomping.

The Boy wanted to go play miniature golf. So off we went. He did very well. You should have seen him a few years ago. He had no idea what to do. Now he plays pretty well plus he has learned how to cheat almost as much as I do.

Then we went to eat mexican food. He loves mexican food. Actually he loves the chips and salsa. The food is just a bonus. He got a sopapilla afterward. With honey. He polished that off also.

Bad news when we got home though. Time to go to bed, the dread words “school tomorrow” and “you have to get up early and get going.” Groannnnnnn.

Poor PizzaBoy. I used to try and tell him that he only had about 12 more years or so of school, then work for about 45 years, and then he can start sleeping in. In only about 57 years. That didn’t cheer him up for some reason so I quit mentioning it. I mean it is only 2065. It will be here before he knows it!

Meet the Teacher Night!


Tonight was Meet the Teacher Night at SuperPizzaBoy’s school. The school is a private school K-12 that works with kids with learning disabilities and Asperger’s Syndrome. There are only about 145 kids enrolled in all 12 grades so it is a very small family type situation. Mrs. Yogi is co-President of the PTO and I am her first assistant. So I was asked to cook the hot dogs for the picnic they have after the introduction.

So I cooked 500 hot dogs. They didn’t know how many they needed so they bought a bunch and I cooked all of them. I didn’t mind. Hot dogs cook fast and need constant attention so you don’t get asked to do anything else. The weather was nice and so were the people. All I needed was a beer and life would have been good.

Of course I missed the orientation and didn’t meet the teacher but she is the same teacher as lasat year. So I don’t think I missed much.
