My Day Off

I took today off from school. Had to go in on Sunday just to finish a test and lay out lesson plans to do it, but I had a list of things to get done at home... Guess how many of the things on the list I actually got done today? Go on, guess! If you said "none," you are correctamundo! Okay, so what DID I accomplish?

I gave Meg and Grandma Judy a morning off. I got up, fixed the kids' lunches, got them up, dressed, and breakfasted...then delivered to their prospective schools. Took a run to Fashion Bug (clothing store for fat ladies) but found that they didn't open until 10:00. Came home and unloaded the dishwasher and fielded a couple of phone calls. Set up an online account to pay the Comcast bill. Went back out to shop at Fashion Bug. (I need clothes!) Also stopped at Shoe Carnival. Then Wal-Mart for food. (Food?? Where am I supposed to put it? The pantry is full. The top of the fridge is full. The freezer is full. The problem is that we are buying more fresh veggies and low-cal food than we used to. It all takes up space!) By then it was 2:00. I started chopping veggies for a stir-fry. Picked up the children from Grandma Judy's, referee'd a fight or two, and went from there.

At one point, I realized that it was Monday and probably a Girl Scout meeting night. Yup! Took Robin to GS while Meg and Ryan went shopping for some things that Meg needed. At issue is the fact that Meg's debit card is missing. It's around here, somewhere.

Ryan's new soccer coach called tonight with the info on the spring schedule. Looks like we'll be splitting our time! We are trying to maintain a calendar so we all know what's up, but it gets tricky.

I have three more days of school before spring break, but I have to be honest and say I really don't want to have to go in. There are so many things to be done here that work seems to be a waste! (See how I am?)

Meg loaned me a new keyboard tonight...an "ergonomic" board that I am loving. Gotta get one of these!! Oh well...it's only money!

During spring break, Ryan will be going with Grandma Judy to Tennessee to his cousins'. Robin will be here with me. (Meg doesn't get a spring break.) I have to get a plan together. There are lots of opportunities. For example, Robin's GS troup is going to The Children's Museum. We'll get by!

WAAAY past bedtime. Hitting the sack shortly.
