Zoe missed school this week due to the virus we all picked up from taking Troy to the emergency room (love you germs, mean it.) While I was running errands yesterday, I stopped by the school and picked up her missed assignments so she could catch up on some things. We worked on a few until I had to go to work at the restaurant. I instructed her to finish up as much as she could (there was a ton) and to leave it out and I would check it when I got back.

After a long shift, I finally make it home. While going through the mail, I notice Zoe’s backpack on the dining room table and her homework in a neat stack next to it.

Her writing journal was open to this entry and I think she really gets her point across.

ZDub Fun Fact: I worked at the golden arches for three months when I was a freshman in college and it was some bullshit. You have to wash your hands with “McHandsoap” and you always salt the french fries in the letter ‘M’. I was on drive thru drink hand out for five weeks until I finally got promoted to the front counter where I was allowed to take orders and handle money. This was short lived as I told very rude lady, who was holding up my line trying to make special modifications to her 39 cent Big Mac, that “This isn’t Burger King, you can’t have it your way”. I got demoted back to drive thru and then “I McQuit”, my exact words.

ZDub Fun Fact: I have two sisters, one is a lawyer, one is a doctor (for animals).

ZDub Fun Fact: I SUCK AT MATH and while I do have a job where I make substantially more than I ever did at Mickey D’s, it involves an apron, name tag and a wine opener.

If Zoe signs off on it, I’m going to feature some of her journal entries. I think we would all benefit from it and I do believe Zoe is the best guidance counselor I have ever had.
