week in a nutshell

Well I survived the first week of school.  It actually went quite well and I even got to go on a fieldtrip to a historic site I have always wanted to visit.  The weather was mild and we didn't get torrential rain we often get the first week of school.

As we didnt' return from the Bahamas well into May.  Kaikoa was late choosing his classes for the current year.  The plum class for the whole school is jounalism.  We didn't think he would get in and were both pleasantly surprised he was chosen. 

Another positive things was Friday I was scheduled for a root-canal.  Well I was sitting in the chair getting drilled when the dentist say's  'it doesn't look as bad as we thought'  I ended up getting the tooth filled and saving about $800.  (no dental insurance).

All in all a very positive week.  Today we are going to a Fun Fair held at a local church.  Free food, games, free everything.  What more could you want.  (well maybe free cocktails)  but I can have one of those when I get home.

  2. I'm glad the work wasn't as extensive (or as expensive) as you were expecting. And I'm glad Kaikoa got into journalism - I think he'll enjoy it. And how much fun can it be without free cocktails anyhow :)
