I got to school on Friday and realized that I had forgotten my lunch, so when lunchtime rolled around I dropped off my kids and headed to Wendy's.

At Wendy's, I ordered at the drive thru then pulled around, paid for my order, got my change and drink and then drove away.

I was almost back at school when I realized that I had NOT gotten my food.

Where's the beef? Actually, I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich so.....Where's the chicken?

I turned the car around and went back for my food.

Sadly, I've done this exact thing before.....and even more sadly, I'll probably do it again!

Do you think that I just might be ready for summer vacation?

The Story of Me part 41

August 30, 1999

Fourth grade gave way to fifth grade which gave way to sixth and Leo and Harmony had remained the best of friends. Harmony was still shy, but if Leo was with her she would talk to the other students. With the encouragement Leo received from the Harrisons and Harmony his grades had improved greatly.

Leo’s grades and behavior had improved so much that families were looking to take him in as a foster child or even for for adoption. Leo made it clear that he wasn’t interested. No one could understand why he wanted to stay in the group home. Leo would smile to himself and think that if they could meet Harmony they would understand. He would never do anything that would take him away from her and if that meant staying in the group home until he turned eighteen he was prepared to do just that.

Leo saw Harmony sitting on the curb waiting for him and waved. She saw him and jumped up to greet him. She ran down the sidewalk toward him and he watched her smiling.

Harmony reached Leo and threw her arms around him. “Good morning, Leo.”

Leo returned the hug smiling. “Hey, Harmony. Are you ready for our first day of middle school?”

“I’m only ready because we have most of our classes together. Other than that I don’t care about school at all.” Harmony declared as she backed away from Leo and corrected his shirt collar that was standing up on one side.

“Don’t say that.” Leo reached for her hand and turned to start walking toward school. “You’re smart and we need to get through school so we can get jobs when we get older.”

Harmony laughed and bumped shoulders with Leo as they walked. “You sound just like the Harrisons.”

“I like the Harrisons.” Leo said as he held his head up a little higher and they both laughed.

Sebastian showed up today with no cast on his leg! He's still in the wheelchair (mostly, just at school) because his little leg isn't that strong yet. Tomorrow he goes to get fitted for some braces that will help support him as he starts walking again.

I'm sorry to say that I didn't get a picture to share with you. Well, actually I snapped one with my phone but it accidentally got deleted. Sorry! I'll try my best to get another picture tomorrow.

Sebastian says that he just has to let his leg get a little bit stronger and then he'll dance with me. Watch out Donald Driver and William Levy, here comes Sebastian!
