Communication is the key

So yesterday Mom kept saying she wanted to work on Friday, but I didn't. She only works when I am there, so I can answer questions--although those times are becoming more and more infrequent. Anyhow, I told her I would come in, but I wasn't going to "work for Dave", I'd bring my own stuff to work on. I thought she wanted to come.

She didn't. But she did come and Dave kept her busy with "new stuff" so she didn't make progress on the list that was on her desk when she arrived. We need to figure out how to understand what we mean much better.

I spent the day answering Dave's questions, reminding him of things, and monitoring emails. But really I was working with my felt...on my new kit "sunny side up" -- a breakfast kit. I actually got to go home about 3pm. It was kinda weird. I spent the rest of the day working on my class lessons for next week. I got the main 3 done. Oh, and Marky started crying and wouldn't stop. So I cuddled and rocked him. I think he was cold. After 45 minutes he was ready to play again. In the meantime Emily went to sleep at 4:30 also.

Dave was late getting home for our date, but I was later. Right before we were to leave, I got a phone call from Karen Maughan (a Cottle cousin's wife) about another T6 baby. Angies for dinner/date and home to sleep. It still took me 'til midnight to get to bed.
