Friday started with a 6am meeting. I woke up just a few minutes before the meeting and quickly got breakfast ready and got right to work.
I had spent hours catching up to email the night before but still woke up to 45 new ones. And here was one. I am overdue on my vacation days.
Little boy woke up soon after and gave me a big smile.
And then it was time for my 1-1 with Jon. 
We we scheduled to go to Nathaniel’s conference at 7:45 so when my two meetings ended I took a quick shower and jumped in the car. 
We got to school right before Jake so the kids ran to greet him.
Nathaniel showed us his year’s work. It was so much fun.
A little outline of his conference which he got to run.
Apparently there will be much Harry Potter this summer.
David was able to join us too since it was before school started.
Jake then went to work and I went to Cafe Borrone to meet my friend Chris to talk to her about the middle school process.
It was sunny but really cold.
After she left, I did a bit of work there and then went to the bookstore to get David’s friend Luca a birthday present. We always get books. 
I had this awkward amount of time between then and my lunch meeting so I decided to do some more work. And then I decided to read my book club book right before I was to meet them. It was a graphic novel so I thought maybe I could pull it off.
Some tea and reading. My favorite thing to do.
Then it was book club time. Still really cold.
After that I went home to warm up and do a lot more work. Work work work and then time to pick up the boys.
David telling me a story (which did not relate to why he was so incredibly dirty.)
On the way back home.
I did a bunch more work and then decided to take a bit of time off and warm up and watch TV while the kids showered.
Jake came home and there was much rejoicing.
Calvin and Hobbes has become popular again in the house. Love love love Calvin.
We seem to get these semi-dead yellowjackets in the kids’ bathroom a few times a year. They are really scary for the kids and not easy to kill. This one looks dead but wasn’t. We just let him outside.
David and I then left for his school because he was inducted into the graduation class. And there was an event where the current 8th graders and 12th graders came back to talk about their elementary school experiences.
Each of the 5th graders got up on stage and talked about their favorite memory of what they will miss the most.
I hadn’t had dinner (or lunch) so we grabbed some Starbucks on the way home.
Once home, I did some math with Nathaniel and then tucked him in. Jake was doing some work so David and I both read.
He then started doing some journaling in code.
And that was Friday. A few hours of reading, a bit more work, and I called it a night.
