Sunday: yup

It's been a normal month.  Things just aren't all that exciting.

I had an oil change and tire change this morning.  I was half way home and got a call that Joshua wasn't feeling very good.  He was a bit out of it this morning - cold symptoms, not fever or anything like that.  Anyway, I was glad that I was still in the car so I detoured to go grab him.  He wasn't great at home, but after a bit of extra rest he was at least ok.  We'll try again tomorrow!  (Honestly, the kids try really hard to not be as sick on days that I work, so I come pick them up when I'm not working without question.)

I graded for most of the morning.  I wanted to get up and do other chores, but Tornado had made himself comfortable in my lap so I was trapped.  I did finish grading the lab though, so I only have one left!

I putzed around with chores after nap time - I cleaned the kitchen, thought the office light was fixed (but it isn't), paid some bills, etc.  I worked on a Lego set while Joshua worked on a different project in the basement.  We didn't really talk much; I think he just wanted some company.

I'm not thrilled with my chore list at the moment.  It's all boring stuff or big stuff.

Saturday: relaxing

We relaxed most of the morning.  It was a lovely morning.  There were some work done.

Hmm.  Well.  It was nice having Ben back around and we traded stories throughout the day.

Friday: cats

 I let the cats sleep with me last night.

Horizon wandered in as I was falling asleep and politely settled himself by my feet.

Tornado wandered in some time later and tickled my face.  Eventually he settled down, I think by my feet.  Or he left. 

Tornado decided to attack Horizon.  Horizon ignored it for a surprisingly long time, or at least what seemed like a long time when I was half asleep, but finally had to retaliate and they both ran out of the room.

Horizon eventually came back in and settled at my feet.  

Tornado may have joined in a bit later, but I'm not sure.

Thursday: normal

 As Thursdays go, I got a lot done.  I only have two more labs to grade!  As driving goes, I did a lot today.

The kids were more talkative than normal, and mostly about things I found interesting.  That was nice.

Isaac's busy week is done as he turned in his math test and homework today.  He doesn't have his math class next Thursday because of Thanksgiving, so a little bit of extra time to get caught up will be really nice.  He isn't too far behind, but there are some loose ends to be finished.

I have a lot of plans for tomorrow.  This is a bit of a problem since I haven't been all that motivated recently.  I guess we'll see how it goes.

Ben gets home tomorrow!  Late tomorrow, but still tomorrow!

Wednesday: a comment

 A child: Wednesdays are the best days because of laundry and groceries!  Nothing else is good about Wednesdays.  

Hmm, Joshua has something on Wednesdays that he likes, so it must have been from Isaac.

Tuesday: Tornado

Ben is gone, so Tornado is willing to accept my lap as a substitute.

Monday: calmer

Today was more calm.  Not completely calm, but everyone seemed to manage their emotions a bit better.

I graded, had hot chocolate with Pat, took a nap, did some chores.

Oh, I decided to sleep with the door closed last night.  The main reason was that I didn't want the light to wake me up in the morning when Joshua woke up.  It was a good choice too, because I woke up at 3am and didn't get back to sleep well until 4:45am.  (I might have dozed, but only a bit.)

Well, that's about it for my exciting day.
