Another Whirl-wind day!

Yesterday was another one...just busy. Interviewed three more people yesterday, one seems really good but expects a pay pretty close to my salary (yeah, not gonna happen), and another one that shows some great potential. Two more today.

Spent most of the afternoon in meetings trying to bring our website details up to speed...now I have to spend a bunch of time updating the spreadsheet, then forward the report to my bosses, and send the required changes to the web-department.

Rushed home, grabbed the boys - S finished his math sheet before I got home! - took S to his karate class, the A-man went off with Jazzy's mom and brother, and I went back in to work for a dinner meeting. Turned out to be a way more relaxing gathering than I excepted, so that was nice. Didn't get out until 9:30, though, so that got the boys home a bit later than I would have liked. They didn't like getting up this morning.

Today is 'civy' day at the A-man's school. They don't have to wear uniforms, but they do have to wear a collared shirt. He was trying to break that rule, but I finally found a shirt that he was willing to wear. Apparently he hates collars. The highschool is also doing the Terry Fox run today. The A-man is going to rollerblade the 7kms. I hope he doesn't fall. He is a tad clumsy right now - think he's having a growth spurt.

S tried to convince me to let him stay home from school "because he's sick." He has the cold his brother had. Didn't work. He trundled out to meet the bus, but not before I realized he had not brushed his teeth. I escorted him back to the washroom, and helped. He hates it when I do that. I explained to him that he needs to look after his hygenic needs, and that it is very important. One of his 'goals' on his project was to get a girlfriend this year (how cute is that?) and I told him that girls in Grade 7 notice things like unwashed hands and fuzzy teeth. I'm hoping that spin makes a difference.

Glad it's almost the weekend. I would like to try and sneak out of the office a bit early today, but I don't know if that will happen. Guess we'll see how the day goes!
