Good Night's Sleep

Momoko has decided that Little Kat needs a bed that is closer to the floor. He currently has a loft bed which is high up in the air. After some deliberation, Momoko and Little Kat decided we would get a new matress to put under Little Kat's loft bed. He plans to construct a makeshift bunk bed.

Today the family went to Momoko's classroom to finish packing up for the summer. We only spent about an hour of hard work and the thing was done. Little Kat and I went home. Momoko and Kit Kat waited for the principal to check the classroom. Of course it was up to par and then some.

At home Little Kat thought it was a good time to get his new matress. We found an advertisement from the Sunday paper. Luckily they had a store in our city. We brought the truck to buy and bring home a matrees. It was pretty desolate at the matress store shopping center. We sat on a few matresses that were on sale from the ad. They were okay. The sales guy said he could match the ad prices with some other matresses.

After deliberating and hopping from matress to matress, Little Kat chose one. It was more ritzy than the ones in the ad. However it was the same low price. They did not have it immediately in stock. We are scheduled to return in 2 days to pick the thing up. Good luck Little Kat.

Day of Hard Work

I took the day off from work to help Momoko pack up her classroom. When I woke up, Little Kat was still at home watching TV. He told Momoko he did not feel well early in the morning. However he wanted to come with me to help Momoko.

Little Kat and I picked up lunch for the whole family at our favorite Chinese food restaurant. We then went to his school. I wanted to check in at the front office. But there was a long line. We proceeded to Momoko's classroom. It was locked. A kind lady with a key let us in. After lunch we got down to work.

First I cleaned out all the student desks. Then Little Kat, Kit Kat, and I stacked all the desks up at the end of the room. They were heavy. Little Kat and I proceeded to pack up all the stuff in the classroom into Momoko's closet. We threw out a bunch of trash. Kit Kat sealed up the bookshelf with paper to prevent theft. Finally we turned off the freezer and left it thaw out.

By the end of the day I was beat. We shall return on Monday for the final touches.

A Sick Cat

Last night I stayed up very late working on my computer program. Little Kat got sick. He came down the stairs looking for Momoko. I told him she already went to bed. So he went upstairs and pounded on her door to tell her he was sick. Eventually Momoko woke up and told Little Kat to go to bed.

I woke up late for work and rushed out the door. By the time I came home, which was also late, I had a message from Momoko. Apparently Little Kat had stayed home from school today. I never even noticed. He was still up in his bedroom late in the afternoon. He ended up drinking some soup and 7up.

Kit Kat skipped school today. Momoko asked that she do it to come help Momoko tear down her classroom for the summer. Kit Kat is skipping school again tomorrow to help some more. I am taking the next two days off work to help Momoko as well. My job tomorrow is to bring some Chinese food lunch for us to eat. Then I have to move all the heavy stuff into the closet in Momoko's classroom. Fun stuff.

A Day of Surprises!

Today I had a few sweet surprises at school. We have been working on a group project and the team member that was a slacker last week actually stepped up to the plate and practically completed the project. I do not have to spend hours doing stuff for homework and we got out of class early today.

I also asked my teacher about getting materials for my classroom. She said she would try to work on getting everyone some models of atoms but in the meantime, she gave me a set of for my classroom. I was the only one that receive this special gift.

Helping Momoko

As the school year comes to a close, Momoko has a lot of work to do. Got to wrap up the classroom. Normally Momoko just uses the kids as helpers. But now Kit Kat goes to a different school.

Luckily I am on vacation this week. So after school I pick up Kit Kat. We drive to Mokoko and Little Kat's school. We usually pick up a snack for the family. Snacks are good because they keep you going, are quick to eat, and don't make you sleepy. Today I brought a full dinner since we might be working late.

Kit Kat is busy cataloging all the textbooks, numbering them, and finding out which ones are missing. Little Kat was in charge of taking down things on the walls and doors. Momoko has the opportunity to get things laminated. Little Kat and I went in search of the "laminating drawer". You put stuff in, and the teacher in charge does the laminating.

The plan is to be done with Momoko's room by the middle of next week so we can go on vacation. I can hear the beach calling to us.

Delivery Cat

In the past year or so, Momoko had me bring our old freezer and fridge up to her school. The plan was to put them in her classroom. Then a school edict came out staying no teachers could have either in their classroom. Momoko had me come to school, and move the fridge and freezer in the back of the cafeteria.

Recently the rule got overturned by the principal. Momoko could have a fridge and freezer in her classroom. I scheduled to swing by after school to help her move the two back into her classroom. Easier said than done.

When I got to the back of the cafeteria, I found that a lot of new stuff had been stored back there. The freezer and fridge were buried in the back. When I dug them out, Momoko showed me a short cut that took me down a ramp. Whew. Even with the dolly, the big fridge is very hard to move down the stairs.

However after I moved the fridge to Momoko's classroom, she found she could not reach her phone. We had to move around some heavy furniture to get Momoko's fridge and freezer where she wanted them. I cut my hand in the process. Later I found that I cut my other hand even worse.

At least Momoko will have ice cubes for her science experiments at school. And if Momoko has to do an experiment to see how cold her cokes need to be for optimal refreshment, then I say more power to her.

Working Day

Veteran's Day was a work day for both Momoko and myself. Kit Kat and Little Kat stayed home because there was no school. The night before I worked until 11:00PM. So I figured I could leave work early around 3:30 then next day.

I got home and thought about raking leaves. But it was raining and I was tired. Kit Kat got a call from Momoko. She had meetings all day and still had a lot of work to do. Kit Kat, Little Kat, and I got in the car and drove to school. We helped Momoko put her classroom in order. There was a lot of furniture to move around. Some gerbils caused something of a distraction to the kids.

We finally got out of there. Momoko and I decided we should eat out since it was already late. So we headed to the local Mexican restaurant. As usual, we got some cheese sauce for our chips. But the dip was hot with a lot of jalapenos. Our plan was to get home and watch Transformers 2. However it was too late. All in all a busy Veteran's Day.

Joining the G-Force

Momoko brought the kids to school to help with her classroom. When they got back, they were hungry. Kit Kat said she could hardly stand. This was a case for Chinese food.

We went to a nice sit down restaurant. Little Kat had trouble deciding what to order. He ended up asking for something that was not on the menu. Momoko and Kit Kat both got Mushi-Pork.

Afterwards, we figured our work for the weekend was done. So it was time to go watch one of the movies we had been wanting to see. Since it has been out for a while, we chose G-Force. There were not many people in the theater. We like that.
