Sunday: Isaac's home
Well, Joshua fully enjoyed this weekend with just his parents. His bad part was that Isaac came home.
Isaac had a great weekend! I heard a lot about the fun parts and not much about the Jesus parts, but that's ok. Sledding Friday night and Saturday was apparently amazing...it was a little bit icy and there was a big hill. It also sounded like there was a lot of games. He also made healthy food choices. Well...at the least he didn't drink tons of pop.
Joshua and I finished listening to Bert and Ernie's Sing-Along while working on our puzzle. There are bunch of mini-pictures in the puzzle and we finished all the borders of the mini-pictures. And I had Big Bird's "yes...love is a really good feeling to have!" in my head all day.

Saturday: but wait! There's more!
Joshua and I were working on our puzzle and I said, for some reason, "but wait! there's more!" I say this often. So then we started talking about the song that it's from and Joshua didn't know who the Count is. So we found a video, but it was the wrong song.
Then I found the song on the internet, and as we listened to it I realized that there was a story associated with it. And I realized I knew all the words. We started listening to the sing-along from the beginning.
And so, if you'd like to listen to it too, here's a link for the ...record? tape? ...here's the link: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ys81r

Friday: O:CtH - storage room
I'm continuing to remove stuff from the storage room. I had about thirty minutes to clean stuff out, and that included a crumbling piece of drywall. The drywall was on the floor and we've just been walking on them for a while. I got the drywall to the trash can and then had to vacuum up all the little pieces that fell off while I was bringing it upstairs. I also vacuumed up some sand that had fallen out of a decorative piece.

Thursday: another normal day
It was another rather normal day. The first class had a few bumps because I moved some content around and didn't dot my i's and cross my t's. It wasn't a big problem, but it was annoying.
I got a fair amount of work done in the afternoon. Sometimes I get tired but I actually got up enough and so I got a lot done.
My travels around town to taxi kids around went a bit faster than normal.
Karate was just ok. The class I like was co-opted by stretching and information instead of exercise. Then we had self-defense and it isn't my favorite. But I don't have to pick Isaac until 6:30 and Isaac really likes a few extra minutes after his practice so I've stayed the whole self-defense class.
The evening has been nice as always. Some computer stuff, some quilting.
Wednesday: more normal
I love the normal days, although they aren't very interesting to blog about. I mean, doing three loads of laundry is pretty good, but for once they all got dried and separated too! I even put 2/3 of my laundry away. We had cheddarworst for dinner and it was not as filling as I expected. The cats had their vet appointment and are doing well. Both cats weigh exactly the same as last year. We were hoping Horizon would lose a bit of weight, but the vet was happy with no increase. Isaac had a lot of homework, but worked on it well after school. The snow is melting, sadly. Both cats escaped while I was re-hanging* the bird feeders, but they didn't get very far. They're willing to walk on snow but not to go in the deep stuff.
*There was a wind advisory the last two days so I put the feeders on the deck. One is really heavy and I didn't want it toppling over and the other is really nice and I didn't want it falling to it's doom.

Tuesday: homework 5
It was a normal day. I went out to lunch with Natalie, which was really nice. The only thing of any note is that I finished a rewrite of homework 5. I've needed to rewrite this homework for several semesters but have just kept putting it off. So hurray!
