Great Finish to a Hectic Week

What a week! I don't think I've seen the inside of my house for longer than 1 hour each night before heading off to bed. Then only to wake up and find I have to do it all over again. IEP meetings, teacher retirement dinners, district cookout, graduation, graduation parties, dr. appts, support group, church softball....the list goes on. But it is on the "down side". Tomorrow is a 1/2 day of school, finishing up paperwork, wrapping up end of year meetings, school luncheon, etc. Then on Tues it is off to Wild Wonderful West Virginia for a week of R&R, which both Spencer and I have earned!!! We are so excited. Mammaw has been here 2 weeks helping us out and we're taking her back home and staying for some time to rest! She has been great and could not have done what I had to do this past week without her. On Saturday we went to Hatcher Gardens in Spartanburg, the to a playdate with the Down Syndrome Group in Greenville, then out to GSP Airport to watch President Bush's plane take off after he spoke at Furman University's graduation. We missed the plane taking off because I was so set on arguing with the Secret Service man at the Fed Ex terminal. Go figure all I want is a picture I said to him and he said a picture of what? I said President Bush, he said "there's no one here." I said "yea right so why are you out here with the ear piece in your ear?" Mike yelled from the back "Denise you need to shut up or he'll put your ass in jail!" Well, I just couldn't resist, me and my dumb outspoken self spouting off my tax dollars pay your salary and I should be allowed a picture of the President, I'm not going to do anything, all I want is a pic for my son's scrapbook and on and on....... Needless to say, I made my point, but then a car started following us and I'm sure they were Secret Service making sure I wasn't up to anything. Well, anyway we missed the takeoff, but it was exciting chasing the President around GSP! So that was our Saturday, full of excitement. And by the way, it's no wonder Spencer has attitude with a Mommie that can't even keep her mouth shut around the Secret Service. Oh well, I feel the need to voice my opinion and it's great I live in the US where I can!!! Enjoy the pics!
