More Random Bullets Cause it's All I can Handle

• My kid! She is so amazing. I keep wanting to write a whole post about her.
• We went through all her school stuff the other day and she WILLINGLY tossed about half of it: math problems, spelling tests, mind maps a/k/a elementary-level literary analysis-- toss, toss, toss. This all in itself is evidence of such stunning maturity that I was, well, stunned.
• Plus, I had no idea about most of the stuff she was learning.
• She learned to tell time, for example. But she kept this fact secret from us.
• Also, she reads all the time now. On her own.
  
• Thank God, she seems to be over the Rainbow Magic obsession.
• Now it's all American Girl books, all the time.
• Which would be great if we weren't in CANADA where they are relatively hard to find.
• She is psyched about the new house.
• A couple days after we signed the contract, I took her past the New House on the way to school so she could see the "SOLD" sign.
• We were late to school because she had to run over and hug the sign.
• Speaking of which, we're moving at the end of July.
  
• I don't want to talk about it.
  
• But I will say that we seem to spend several hours a week in banks and insurance offices meeting and signing things.
  
• Every time we leave one of these appointments I feel like taking a long nap.
• But usually I can't because I have to run off to work at that point.
• Have I mentioned the hours at my new job?
• Not to complain, but...yes, well, to complain:
• They are sucky.
• I work every Friday 1-9 and then Saturday 9-5, plus a couple of other shifts.
  
• RW and MG are doing Shabbat on their own most weeks.
• Technically, MG is leading because RW isn't Jewish.
  
• I put a treat in a Shabbat Box and she gets to open it when she's done with the blessings.
• She seems to be okay with it. But I miss it.
  
• It's nice to see the candles burning when I get home at 9:30 or so.
• But then I have to go to bed.
• And now I have to go to work.
