Day 2456. Thursday was a holiday which is why Sammy was off school on Friday as well but Tammy and Emmy had school so the first alarm went off at 6:15 am, as usual. Just after 7 am Randy left with Tammy and Emmy to take them to school.  Once back, he spent the morning with Sammy.

Day 2453. This day was a holiday, and it was also my 53rd birthday and a busy day of teaching for me. My first student was at 11 am, so I had set my alarm for 10:30 am. I was hoping that the kids would let me sleep as a birthday gift but Tammy came and woke me up because she wanted something one time.

Day 2452. On Monday I had an 11 am student so my third alarm was set for 10:30 am. I taught until noon, then went to the kitchen to get lunch ready for Randy and me. At 1 pm Randy left to pick up Tammy and Emmy, while I left at 1:30 to pick up Sammy.
