Not exactly news, but this thread was an interesting way to start the day. I love this painting.

It's wild to see the weekend happenings listed out in one place. What even is this timeline?

So far, this is the least surprising thing about the documents.

'Former president Donald Trump’s company charged the Secret Service as much as five times more than the government rate for agents to stay overnight at Trump hotels while protecting him and his family, according to expense records newly obtained by Congress. The records show that in 40 cases the Trump Organization billed the Secret Service far higher amounts than the approved government rate — in one case charging agents $1,185 a night to stay at the Trump International Hotel in D.C. The new billing documents, according to a congressional committee’s review, show that U.S. taxpayers paid the president’s company at least $1.4 million for Secret Service agents’ stays at Trump properties for his and his family’s protection.' Trump charged Secret Service ‘exorbitant’ rates at his hotels, records show www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/10/17/trump-secret-service-hotel-rates-records/

Next Monday we have off for Diwali. Although I'm torn because I like just being with the littlest the majority of the day, but I also like getting up slightly later on days off. So I guess what I wish is that my H worked 4 days a week instead of 5.

He probably even has a direct line to the police station.

Totally normal and mature. And tell me why a woman would be too emotional for the job?!

Week three of the Darrell Brooks (Christmas parade) trial started today. He hasn't even started his own defense testimony yet and they are already 3 weeks into this.

Starting next week: Week 1- M/T off Week 2- Th/Fr off Week 3- T off Week 4- normal Week 5- W-F off Week 6-9 normal End of year starts Dec 17 They only have 2/5 Mondays in January. DD2 has art on Mondays, which is her favorite, so this year has been brutal. *should add that the prior 3 weeks have all had at least 1 day off, with varying days.

We have our annual break this week, so no school Th/F.
Our district goes by numbered days so kids don’t miss a lot of one special. For example, this week Wednesday is day 1, no school Th/Fr, so next week Monday starts as day 2. This way if kids have Art on a day 1, they don’t miss it because school is closed. Does that make sense? It’s confusing but it works.

I'm already not looking forward to the second week of November when there's no school on election day and veterans day which are Tuesday and Friday. There will be so many students (and teachers) taking vacations.. Or just skipping.

Our district does art every day, so I didn't realize it was such a precious commodity elsewhere. The non daily specials are Guidance, Library Checkout, Library instruction, and Computer literacy, though they do have access to Chromebooks in class for daily activities as well.

There will be so many students (and teachers) taking vacations.. Or just skipping. Our district does a big Veteran's Day program so my kids will still have school then, at least. But yeah, when weeks get chopped up like that it's real awkward.
