Friday again. Went to Plough Boys and Bisher's. Bought chicken breasts at Bisher's. Make chicken picatta. Bought some ground beef to make meatballs and meat sauce with for spaghetti. The kids can have white sauce with meatballs and spaghetti. Also bought some frozen veal chops and some fish.

Cassidy was difficult to pry out of bed this morning. Got both kids to school. Up, clean, dressed, fed, delivered. My primary function is getting them up and to school on time, clothed and fed. Ideally with their homework done and whatever supplies they need with them. So far, so good. Flynn's GPA is now a C-, so he's raised that quite a bit. Good for him. Cassidy is breezing through first grade.

What else? I noticed that out of the eighteen spots in a seed tray I planted with three varieties of tomatoes, in one third only one seedling is up. Hmm. Have to pamper that seedling. Still undecided as to where to let them grow. The cement side of the house seems likely. Build a planter box and plant the tomatoes there..? Use buckets as hydroponic units? Train the vines along the fence? Grow them in soil?

Still waiting for a check in the mail.

Called Diane, we'll pick her up tomorrow instead of Sunday. I like having Sundays off. Possibly go to the beach or to the glider port near Torrey Pines. Always wanted to see that. Sounds intriguing.

What else? Not much else. Took the kids out for Chinese food yesterday afternoon. Got some Chinese food to go, also. It was delicious. I get tired of cooking and having the kids reject whatever I serve.

I could use some more dryer sheets. Maybe I'll go to Ralph's and buy some of those Hawaiian hamburger rolls and some dryer sheets.
