The weather has been bad lately and the kids have been sick. The other week, both RD and MyGirl were down with colds on Thursday. We let them stay home. When Friday arrived, we decided to let RD stay home, but MyGirl was well enough to go to school.
On our way to school, she reminded us that her dismissal was to be at 3pm, instead of the usual 12 noon. When we arrived at school, MyGirl suddenly remembered that she had forgotten her P.E. T-shirt and shorts. She was at the point of tears but we calmed her down and promised to have the T-shirt and shorts delivered during her lunch break.
As luck would have it, when we brought her the T-shirt and shorts at lunchtime, she was all set to go home. Apparently, they had announced on Thursday that the Friday dismissal time would be 12:00 nn due to the scheduled rally at Makati that evening.
Imagine, if she hadn't forgotten her T-shirt and shorts, there would have been no reason to see her at lunchtime and she wouldn't have gotten picked up in time.

The assignment for Tuesday was sand. RD reminded us over the weekend that he needed SAND for Tuesday.
"Where do we find sand?" I asked Dad as we headed home on Monday evening.
He suggested that we go through the streets of our village where there was likely to be some construction work going on. We had gone through two parallel streets and we approached the third, I sought St. Anthony's assistance. "St. Anthony, please help us find sand."
All the while I was thinking of where we could possibly BUY sand. The craft store or the bookstore, maybe. There might be materials for sand art there. Bio-Research, I thought. They sell sand for aquariums and stuff. We had reached the middle of the third street when I verbalized my thoughts. I told Dad where I thought we could find sand and asked, "Where is there a Bio-Research around here?"
"Makati Square," he said. "Should we go there?"
"I think we should. You know how tense RD gets when he doesn't have his materials for school."
So instead of going through the length of that street, Dad took a right on the perpendicular street to head back towards the Makati Commercial District.
Lo and behold, we were on that street for less than a minute when we chanced upon a construction site with sand overflowing on the sidewalk.
After getting permission to get some sand, we headed home with our container full of sand.
Mission accomplished ... with a little help from above.
Thank you, St. Anthony. We appreciate the assistance.
