Today, I drove my daughter down to take another entrance exam for a Catholic High School. This is the school I went to. The place looks exactly the same in 20+ years. Very weird walking back in there. My favorite teacher of all time is now the admissions director as well as a teacher. He taught world cultures 1 and 2. By far, he was the best teacher I ever had in any subject any school including college. He made me love social studies/world cultures. I worked very hard in his class. I wasn't sure if he remembered me or not. He said he did though. His personality is one of a jokester. On the admissions application you have to list family members..so he said, "wow! I couldn't believe you have so many kids and all the names---wow. I think the Pope should could down here and give you a medal for all those kids!" LOL. Well, no thanks-no medal but I will take a scholarship please for my daughter to go here if you please...:)
Mary said the test was very hard. We still don't know where she is going to go but its between 3 schools and all 3 have transportation issues and money issues but hopefully one will work out for us, somehow.
On the way home, I took Mary to a Taco Bell drive-through and decided to pick up lunch for everyone else at home. We used to love Taco Bell but there aren't any around us. Every time we ever go to any food place it takes us a while to order. For one thing, everyone likes their stuff special like no cheese or no tomato or something. Not one of my kids ever can just take anything as it comes. So I begin our order which is long and complicated...so halfway through our order I get this BEEP behind us. I have never been beeped at while ordering...lol. Jeez I said, I guess I better wrap it up...BEEP BEEP. Mary turns around and says, oh I think I know that person---she goes to my school. We start laughing...It wasn't friendly beeping either it was irritated beeps...lol. Well, I am sorry, but i have a long order! For the record, let it be known that I have never beeped at anyone in my life...my husband tho on the other hand is a beeper (which i am constantly telling him how rude it is). Anyway, Mary ended up texting her friend and said--hey that's us you are beeping at---and I think the girl of the mom got really embarrassed...lol. Lesson learned: be careful who you beep at... you might know them. Anyway---we always have fast food stories. We are constantly laughing in the drive thorough since we know we have complicated orders and no one orders as much food as us. Its like a joke of some kind in which we are purposefully trying to confuse the cooks inside. Sorry, yeah I just have a difficult family :)
