It was there that we learned out waiter is a first year social studies (U.S. History) teacher in a Metro middle school. Oh, how I feel for our server. This is the school where the students literally stampeded the principal last year when she tripped and fell -- then kicked her while she was down. I'm not kidding. Poor waiter. Poor principal, but at least she's been in the system for years and gets paid 3x what poor waiter makes. So, our new friend --after I assure him the kids DO need him and that he CAN survive, just wear sturdy shoes-- says he knows he's got miles to go before he sleeps.
Indeed. I couldn't have said it better, so I won't bother trying. I do have miles to go before I sleep. I'm back to school, Little Man's started his Montessori adventure, Ajay's still trucking with his business, and I'm pulling two other jobs while all this is happening. How I'm doing this, I don't know. I just know that we're going to keep on keeping on, and it could always be worse.
For the time being, we're glad that Jaideep's getting bigger everyday and adjusting well to private school. He's the youngest in his class, but he's by far the best looking and smartest (or, so I will tell you). He's busy making friends with the ladies, all older, and there's one in particular -- a 10 month old-- we're attempting to steer him away from. Not only is the age difference too much, but she's very high need. Cries all the time about little things -- like when she's bored. Jaideep's not that type of guy. He's down to crying when there is a need. Other than that, he's generally all about smiling and laughing -- mostly because he knows that HE is TOO funny! We're all just along for the ride.
So, ride we will. There may be miles to go before we sleep, but at least we're all three in this together.
And... pictures! 1st Day of School (Where are we going? What's that? People to entertain? Hooray!)
