Why my week has been rough October 14, 2007
Posted by spacemom in : She Blinded me with Science, Parenting 101 , trackbackIn bullet form!
- On call for the spacecraft this week. Finished the week’s command load review on Friday of last week, with minor frustrations because we changed my machine on Thursday and I got a new operating system (Solaris 10)
- Command load approved on Tuesday
- Target of Opportunity comes in on Wednesday after Jay jokes that it is the only thing that can ruin the week.
- Replan on schedule runs into dinner on Wednesday. End up staying up until 11:40 to deal with the command loads and the clean up
- Since we only had a 12 hour turn around for the command load, spent Thursday replaning the last orbit of the load and into next week.
- Friday-Work at home, get ready for Girls Scout meeting. Lose one Girl, mom forgot to send her to meeting. Forgot to call after school program that Soleil wouldn’t be there.
- Girl Scout meeting goes okay, but my heart breaks because Soleil stands off to the side for the photo and NO Body picks her to make a "girl scout friend"
- Take another girl home so the mom can drop off her other daughter. Girl has socialization issues and calls Soleil a "nanynanyfoofooheadnanynanyfoofoohead" and "stupidhead" Soleil tells girl her feelings are hurt, girl says "GOOD!"
- Soleil tell me she wishes the girl was never born… Long discussion about how it’s okay to walk away and we try to help people, but if they really hurt us, we can walk away
- Tot Shabbot, record turnout, run out of food afterwords and Luna is freaked by the crowds
- Saturday, Birthday party. I show up AS IT IS ENDING! ACK! Parents are gracious and we play for 2 hours.
- At dinner, Soleil makes a PB&J sandwich. She eats the J side of the bread and then bursts into tears when she realized what she did.
- Try to go to bed early. Wake up at midnight and watch the end of the base ballgame. Ends at 1:33am, with the Indians winning (yeah!)

Sounds like a difficult week to me. I’ve had one too…how about we meet in the middle for some wine?
