My Birthday

I never thought that I would spend most of the day of my birthday doing something like this. Anyways, here is the story.

One of my little sisters needed to switch schools from Bonneville to IF and the only one that could help out was me. We checked her out of Bonneville last Friday and went to see if IF was open that day to so that when school started yesterday, she could just go to classes there. Well, the office was closed so we had to wait until yesterday (my birthday) to do it.

So we got to the school about 11 o'clock yesterday and started the process...and let me tell you. I will never let my kids transfer schools unless we move out of town or state! It's such a pain to do. Anyways, we walked into the counselor office and come to find out that we need to get: copy of the release, shots, grades, any type of bill for address confirmation, and a note from Mom. So we ran back to the other school and got everything that we needed there, ran to my Mom's work so she could fill out paper work to get Brooke into school and the note and than ran back to Mom's house to get Brooke's shot records. We than waited until IF was done with their lunch hour before going back to the school.

When we got back, we had to wait for a lady to put Brooke into the system so she could go finish getting everything done. While we waited the secretary started lecturing Brooke about her grades. To let you know what was going on was that Bonneville got all these new teachers there now and most of them don't know exactly how to teach it to the kids which led Brooke get back grades. And it didn't help that the school just put her in honor classes without asking her either. She tried to change them at the beginning of the year but they wouldn't let me. Anyways, the lady came back and got Brooke into the system and sent us to the 9th-grade counselor. This part was the longest of the whole day!

The counselor was so confused on her credits that he tried to talk my sister into going back to Bonneville which Brooke and I both said no. Then he told her that she will need to got to night school until the 3rd trimester...Brooke and I both looked at each other and thought really?? We then told him no again and so he started to put together her schedule which he had so much trouble with that too! He finally called for one of the other counselor to help out and that one had everything figured out within 5 minutes! I will never understand some people but I do wish that they would know how to do their jobs sometime! That took a total of about 2 and half hours.

By this time Mom had got to the school and we checked to see if there was anything else that we need to do. The secretary asked mom for a copy of her license and than said that we could go get a locker and a parking pass. After finishing at the school, I had to go with Brooke and Mom over to the DMV so Brooke could take her written test for her driver license which she didn't pass, missed it by one point, and has to go back on Thursday to take it again. After that I just went home because I was so tired and hungry for food since I didn't get anything to eat besides breakfast.

When I got home I did nothing! It felt good...but now I have lots to cleaning to do and getting ready for out trip to Cali to visit Nathan, Kat and the girls for the weekend.
