Unexpected visitors....

Do you know when you just have one of those days, and you want to be home getting your stuff done, and don't expect anyone to come calling...but yet...they DO!!!

Danny came to visit...for those of you who have a hard time keeping track, this is David's ex's eldest Daughter. She showed up with her boyfriend, and a man she called Uncle Bob..or Don or something, they both looked like they crawled out from underneath the Wabash bridge, but who am I to judge? She came calling about her fishing pole (she's going camping for her birthday). During the random babble to keep them entertained until David got home she let it slip she is due in February. Yeah David was just as shocked...but not really. What else do we expect...her sixteen year old sister is due next month.

In reality I am glad that these kids are not biological to David, but sad that Kevin is exposed to this. Danny quit her job in Lafayette at Meijer and moved to Rensselear with her unemployed boyfriend. That is a mighty stiff move since she is pregnant...but she did it. Apparently she lives in a two bedroom place with another couple, and the woman of the other couple is to be induced tomorrow, so two couples and two babies in a two bedroom place and one bathroom......do you see the line of thinking here? Little mexico is just not so good.... :0(

So anyway they got what they wanted and scoped the place out, and then got out. I have a grave feeling I need to take pics of our stuff...something is coming up missing if they get desperate.

Okay so back to the first day of school...Grace filled out page 1 of her job application. She is all about the banker position it looks like. She's good at counting money, because like her father, she's really good at spending it when she has it. Got a hole burnt in her pocket before she has left the house. LOL...but this is Grace...ho hum. I'm trying to get her to save. Kevin and her have a new savings account...Grace never had one unless my mom and dad started it finally, but they have banks with lots of change. I have never had the option until now to start one for her. Kevin had one but the ex drained and spent it...so we started a new one, and I'm proud to say it's not substantial but we've got them off to a good start. Our goal is to have $1000 in each by the end of the year.

Okay, so enough babble about that...she wants to be a banker. She got her 5 word spelling list for this week, I assume there will be more. But the words are based on a theme, called "Do the right thing"
here are the words: 1/ respect... 2/integrity...3/cooperation...4/responsibility... 5/perserverance.

Big words...gianormous in retrospect of the futile 4 to 5 letter words she was spelling last year, with HUGE meanings. I hope she grasps them all. I am feeling I need to give her "extra carricular time" with the internet and the webster dictionary to have her look up meanings and stuff. Tomorrow I may just do that.

Her schedule may latch down a bunch, she has to have two books read by October 3rd.
That will be exciting since I got her Eragon before she left on the camping trip. 497 pages. Not too bad a little light reading to start her off. LOL But the movie comes out around her birthday, so this is encouragement for her to read it. I'm excited she's willng to tackle it.

Okay, so I'm blogging once again and I have dishes to wash...but otherwise Grace said the first day of school was boring. They didn't get much work done, all they did was get told and shown where everything was. We'll see how much she paid attention as the next few weeks go on. LOLOL

Oh and stain report on the new outfit she wore to school...only two small spots of mustard (they had hot dogs), on on the skort and one on the shirt, but not full blown hand smears down either. Which is a MAJOR improvement to say the least from what I've seen before....

Okay so now it's time to do dishes and remove the stains now that I reminded myself.
LOL
