Today I don't have a ton to report on. Life has been pretty standard lately. Christian's work still hasn't held the interviews for that job he's been preparing for. He said it's supposed to happen at some point this week. He's really excited about it, but he doesn't sound very optimistic. I guess he found out there are interviewing a few guys from outside of the company, in addition to him and one of the guys from the night crew. He things one of them is going to end up getting it. I guess there are also rumor that the "higher up" guy that will be conducting the interviews and making the final decision is pretty racist, and never chooses a minority over a "white guy". From the things they've done over the years, and the stories Christian has told me, this wouldn't surprise me. It's sad though, and I feel so bad for him. He takes so much pride in his job, and is probably the most accountable guy there...it's sad that he doesn't get what he deserves from all of his efforts and hard work.
I ended up picking up the girls today because he had to work late. When I pulled up, Olivia's class was outside playing. She was standing in the middle of the park, all my herself, looking kind of sad and lonely. As I looked around, most of the kids there were older, I'm guessing most of her class, and her friends, were already gone for the day. When she spotted me, she came running over to the fence so excited to see me. Love that girl!
I went into the center to get them and all of their stuff. The director stopped me and we chatted for a few minutes. She said Olivia is doing so great, and she and a few of the other girls are inseparable. I told her she always talks about a few girls, Jayla, Bella and Caroline. She say "yup, that's them. They're always together". She has her own little clique at school....and so it begins! LOL. Today they all planted a little plant to bring home. We'll be adding that to the little flower pot they colored the other day, which just started sprouting some leaves. It's so fun to see all of the goodies she brings home from school :)
When we went back to get Amelia, she and another little boy were standing there having a very serious "conversation". I don't know why, but it just cracked me up.
Christian met us as soon as we got home. He made some dinner and fed the girls while I got my workout in. We ended up having a quick little fire with the girls. Olivia is suddenly obsessed with bonfires and won't stop talking about them, so we figured, why not?!? Here are a couple pics...
