Sep. 2nd, 2014 08:40 amNot a lot happened for me yesterday. Scott and Cordelia went to the Saline Fair with a friend of Cordelia's and her father. Every year on Labor Day, they have a deal at the fair to let people pay a flat fee ($10 this year) and get an armband that lets them ride anything as many times as they want. From what Scott said, Cordelia and her friend were pretty independent this year, going from ride to ride unaccompanied and only coming back to their fathers when they wanted money for food or drink. The fair isn't huge, so this isn't as big a deal as it might be, but I'm still glad for Cordelia.
In the evening, we went out to Applebee's for dessert. I told Scott that he owed me a dessert for Saturday night when we didn't get one, and he didn't mind going out for that. I always feel like a child when I make requests like that-- I can't drive, so I can't take myself out. I have to depend on Scott, and he's often so exhausted that it feels like a terrible imposition. It feels like, because I can't drive, there're a lot of adult things that I simply can't do.
After getting dessert, we stopped at Busch's for a few grocery items, the things we didn't get on Saturday because it was going to be so long until we got the groceries home. Scott used to go to Busch's for produce and meat and then to Kroger for everything else, but lately, he's just been going to Kroger. I regret that because Busch's produce really is better than Kroger's, but I can see his point. Stopping two different places makes the shopping take longer.
Cordelia got off to school just fine this morning. She was eager to leave and got us out the door about twenty minutes before she absolutely had to be there. She insisted that I come with her because she wanted my help to find her classroom. As it happened, some of her friends were there at the front door, and she decided that she'd just follow them and that she didn't need me after all, so I just went to the office and turned in her paperwork. She refused to carry her own paperwork. She said her backpack was heavy enough as it was. I don't really think that six pieces of paper would have added much weight, but she was adamant.
We still don't know how much lunch will cost. Elementary school kids pay $2.50 for a lunch. Middle school students pay $3.00, but they get more food (and more options). Nobody seems to know whether the sixth graders at Cordelia's school will be paying middle school prices or getting middle school sized meals. I wrote a check for $30, figuring that that's divisible by either $2.50 or $3.00. The secretary said that Cordelia will find out at lunch time. She couldn't offer me any other way of finding out. Hopefully, if the sixth graders get elementary sized meals, they'll take advantage of the salad bar that comes free with every lunch (kids can eat as much from the salad bar as they want).
