Nothing and Nobody

I recently switched my hours at work. This is my first week doing it, but so far I like it.

OLD SCHEDULE:

Sunday 1:00 to 9:00

Monday 1:00 to 6:00

Tuesday 1:00 to 5:00

Wednesday 1:00 to 5:00

Thursday 1:00 to 5:00

Friday and Saturday: OFF

NEW SCHEDULE:

Sunday 1:00 to 9:00

Monday 10:00 to 6:00

Tuesday 1:00 to 5:00

Wednesday 9:00 to 5:00

Thursday, Friday, Saturday: OFF

The reason I am doing this is because:

1. In an 8-hour period I tend to be far more productive than in a 4-hour period.

2. I pick Dylan up at 2:30 and Maddie up at 3:45, so my work is interrupted two times in a 4-hour period, which hinders production INTENSELY. Adding hours to the day makes it so I can be super-productive in the morning and pick up the kids without really causing a decrease in my production for the day.

3. I wanted a 3-day weekend.

4. If for some reason I want or need hours, I can work Thursdays and still have two days off. I'm trying to lessen the chance of me working Saturdays, which seems to be what I have been doing every Saturday.

Maddie is a total smart ass. This is nothing new, but it's now rolling over into school. The other day she came home with a piece of paper and a note that said she need to redo it with "more appropriate sentances." When I use the words "innappropriate" with Maddie it usualy means she's showing her butt or doing something nasty. I was scared. It wasn't that bad, but it wasn't that good either.

She had to draw a picture of a squirrel. She had to fill out the questions.

What is the Squirrel's name?

What does the Squirrel like to do?

Who is the Squirrel's best friend.

Her answers were "No", "Nothing", and "Nobody".

Better than butt, pee, and poop. I guess.
