I still have tons of junk to do today, but I get distracted so easily.
Say, maybe I could go on disability for that, and my therapy could be blogging!
Anyway, you might be interested to know that the Youngest Child's e-mail account microkerfuffle is still wending its way though the system. Got an e-mail response from her regular teacher that she had forwarded my question on to the computer teacher, who got back to me today. Not entirely satisfactorily, to my way of thinking. I still haven't gotten an explanation on whether I inadvertently gave permission for this or not (it's possible that somewhere in all those papers at registration that I signed something allowing it), nor for why a school employee might have ever thought she qualified as a legal guardian, nor why Yahoo was deemed appropriate for a youngster's e-mail account. As I noted in my reply to the reply, one of the ads on Cat's page was this:
Inbox Infatuation
Find intriguing, compatible singles at Yahoo! Personals. Have your matches delivered right here in your Yahoo! Mailbox.
Anyway, at this point, I have tried to be as restrained, yet pointed, as possible. Since I didn't get quite the response I was looking for (something less along the lines of a blithe dismissal), a copy of all the correspondence to date went to the principal and the school board's tech department guy. We'll see what happens next.
IN OTHER NEWS, well, it looks like we have a soccer player in the house again.
Yep, Middle Girl had heard an announcement of a meeting, and so we showed up last night at the high school, and it looks like she's going to be on the junior varsity team. There was a big group of high school girls there, along with around 8 or so other 8th graders like her. AND the group including some of the girls from her old team, so I think she'll enjoy herself. And practice is after school and finished by 5:30 or so, rather than 9:00, so she will still have time to get her homework done. And bestest of all, her old coach from the club team is the JV coach. So, back into that again, but hopefully this time it will be a bit less time consuming. And less expensive.
Now then, lunch.
