Today was our homeschool group's first games day of the school year. Once a month the kids (mostly ages 8-14) get together and play games usually based on a theme. Sometimes it will be math games or geography games, today it was your favorite games. Of course all of our games are packed up and in storage, so we had nothing to bring to share.

Matt had not been to one in a year, so it took him awhile to warm up to the kids again. Towards the end of the time there,  he was acting like his normal self, running around chasing this one boy there that he has known for 3 years now. So hopefully next time Matt will be a bit less antisocial and actually play a game with someone instead of watching others play.

It was nice to see the other moms and to chat with them. There are two mom's there that live in my town and we were talking about how they got their phone calls to go in and see our new superintendent. I was saying that I did not get any notification and waswondering if I even would because I never got anything last year.

Well, I get home and I check the caller ID to see if there were any calls. I swear since I switched to Comcast, I get no phone calls from anyone except people looking for donations. So anyway, there is a number from my town there and so I call my voice mail box to get the message and it is the Superintendents assistant calling to set up a time for me to go in and talk about Matt's homeschooling plan.

She had called at 3:15. Normally I would have been home because games day ends at 3 and I live less than 5 minutes away from where it is being held. But I had to run to the grocery store to pick up some pasta sauce (eventually I will get around to canning my own this year) and missed the call. So, I mix up the meatballs and get them cooking in the oven and by this time it is 3:45. So, I call the Super's assistant and I get nothing. it was dead air. So I called again and again I got dead air, but when I said something to Matt, I all of a sudden get the woman's voice mail.

So, I leave a message saying that I am returning her phone call about homeschooling me son and for her to return my call. But, I told her she can only call me in the mornings because once noon hits, I am busy and I also work. Of course I made it sound like I work from noon on, but I don't work until 5:30pm.

So, tomorrow, I will probably be blogging about the phone call a little and then once after I see the super, I will blog about that. From what this one mom was saying, he is nice and like to chit chat alot. I also guess tehre are a total of 16 families homeschooling in my town. I only know of 4 other families and never herd of the others.
