I think we're going to have another first tonight...I think I'm going to be asleep before Isaac gets home.
He and Ben are at a magic event and I'm so tired. It's been close a few times in the past, where I've been in bed when they get home, but tonight I might actually be asleep
Stay tuned
A few weeks ago I was at the library during story time. And they started doing the Bunny song. ("See the little bunnies sleeping til it's nearly noon..." Oh, that was my favorite song at story time. The kids were so still, trying to sleep. And then so excited to hop. Anyway, it got stuck in my head today. I told Isaac about it while dropping him off at rock climbing.
Then at karate we were doing some finger stretches. "Open, shut them. Open, shut." ...which of course reminded me of another story time rhyme, "Open Shut them" So I told Isaac about it when I picked him up.
(Also, having Mr. Rob do the songs instead of random internet channels was 100x better.)
Yesterday at bed time I had 101 items on my to-do list. This is rather high, but I also had put all my weekly Wednesday items on it already - laundry, groceries, etc.
Today at bed time I have...99 items on the to-do list! Oh my goodness. Today it felt like for everything thing I did I put at least one thing on the list, and that was pretty accurate. I also didn't finish nearly as much as I was hoping, so most of my "really fast" items are still on the list.
Oh well, I still got stuff done. It just wasn't the stuff I was planning on.
Isaac was trying to trick the facial recognition on the laptop. It still recognized him.
We had about an hour between getting home from school and going to rock climbing. I had to get dinner ready. The kids were trying to eat a filling snack and were blocking the way out of the kitchen. So I sat down in the middle of the kitchen floor. It hadn't really been a long day, but I talked more than normal during classes. Isaac joined me, because when you do something funny he joins in. So then Joshua joined in, because now sitting on the kitchen floor is cool. Joshua was trying to stop eating the peanuts and having a hard time...he would have just one more. I'm not really sure what we talked about, but it was the best part of my day.
Tomorrow I'm working on the normal Wednesday things, but also trying to get as many things off my to-do list as possible. I've prioritized them by estimated length of time instead of importance like normal.
This morning I found Tornado on my chair when I started work. He didn't stick around very long. A bit later I got up for a five minute break and what do I find when I come back? Tornado on my chair.
Later I found this on my ground turkey and thought it was a bit hilarious, so I texted it to a group of friends.
It seemed like a weird brag. "3 larger LB size!" 33% more than the 2.25lb tray...what a weird thing to say. Who sells 2.25lb trays? Apparently Aldi/Kirkwood does! I thought it was just a random fact that they put on for selling purposes.
Lastly, an actual plot twist. The lab for this week has the x-axis in the horizontal direction, but there were some typos in the procedure such that sometimes the vertical axis was y and sometimes it was z. So my co-teacher and I made a decision that twisted the plot for some of the steps. (Hahahaha. I've been waiting all afternoon for that one.) In case you care, y is now vertical. I was a bit intimidated by my co-teacher at first, but she's super nice.
I put down a basket of clean laundry next to Horizon. He looked at it with disdain. I agreed.
The boys and I went to a rock show this afternoon. We went in the afternoon instead of the morning - it was a good choice as it wasn't as busy as last year. There was a nice scavenger hunt and the kids enjoyed figuring out what to buy with the money that I gave them.
Today I was purposeful about spending some time on Operation: Clean the House. I had plenty of things I was supposed to do, but O:CtH makes me feel like I'm actually accomplishing things, especially things that don't need to be done again the next week. Anyway, I worked on the laundry room. I cleared off the dryer, cleaned the inside of the washer, and mostly finished cleaning the cabinet. I got rid of a bunch of random things along with several bottles.
I also used a coupon for a sleep over with three of Joshua's four stuffies. I also got to sleep with Giraffe.
However, Creeper was really sad to be left out and gave me a coupon for a sleepover with him. Note that Creeper is just learning how to write.
