Last Tuesday we had week 3 of Citizen's Academy, week 2 at the fire department. We spent our class time learning all about the EMS portion of the fire department. We got to explore inside the ambulance and even "run" a call, which also involved getting to take a ride in the back of the ambulance! It was not only extremely informative but a lot of fun, too. We also got to use the jaws of life and other tools to cut apart a car! That was a lot of fun and really interesting. At the end of the night we all climbed into the carcass of a car and took a group picture. Next week will be our last week at the fire department. We will be doing a whole scenario involving being dispatched from the fire department and going to a scene that involves not only fire but EMS as well. We will all get to role play. It'll be on Wednesday night instead of Tuesday though.
This past Thursday we had an extra class, this time at the Public Works department. We learned all about waste water treatment and our drinking water purification. It was informative but also sort of boring. Leave it to a bunch of engineers to suck the fun out of stuff! Luckily, though, they let us our early. I was exhausted!! At least with the other classes so far we have been doing hands-on things that keep us occupied.
On to the miscellaneous stuff.
Adam and I went to the Brewers game on the 9th sort of for his birthday. we both had a great time but we would have had more fun if they would have won. But we got to spend the night down there and then on Saturday the 10th we had our fantasy draft. It was a blast! It was nice to see friends again and to meet new people.
I was off this last weekend and spent some time making soups for this winter. The house smelled fantastic. It was nice just to spend time with my family. Sunday we watched the Packer game by Adam's parents' house and had steak and corn on the cob for Adam's birthday lunch.
Unfortunately it's now Monday and it's time to get back to the grind. Adam is at school right now. Clara is napping. When she gets up she's going to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa for a little while so I can run a couple errands. Tomorrow Adam has school all day and I'll be finishing up chores around the house before I go back to work on Wednesday. Wednesday I have class after work and work all day Thursday before I come home to watch the peanut so Adam can go tutor. Thankfully I'm off all weekend again. :-) I have an appointment on Friday afternoon, a wedding on Saturday, and a football game at my parents' house on Sunday! Very busy week!!
Well Clara is up so it's time to go!
