Thursday: busy busy

Today was the busiest day I've had in quite a while.  Everything went pretty smoothly though.

6:25am: wake up.  Everyone needed lunches made today plus the cutting of bread and it took me longer to get through everything in the morning.  Usually I have a at least 10 minutes to eat my own breakfast, but today I ate at work.

7:35am: leave the house to drop off the kids at school and go to work

9:30: teach

11:15: lunch with Natalie

12:15: make-up test (this was super easy on my end.  I needed to be around to administer it, but otherwise I just did my work)

1:30: teach

3:20: pick up Joshua from school

3:40: pick up Isaac from PATH

3:55: get home

4pm: leave to get some library books for Joshua and drop off the compost.  The compost place has new (and fewer) hours and they just aren't quite as convenient.  The library is on the way, so I thought I might as well go there too.

4:17pm: get stopped by a train.  This was not in the plan.  I had about eight minutes of wiggle room, during which I was going to eat my dinner in the parking lot.  I ate it while waiting for the train instead.

4:29pm: Show up to Joshua's conference, just in time.  He's doing amazing!  His teacher had so many nice things to say about him - academically and socially.  I couldn't have asked for a better report.

4:50: Go to Isaac's first conference.  They said some nice things about Isaac, gave us his report, and we talked about books.

4:55pm: Go to Isaac's second conference.  This one was with a teacher I really like.  We talked about a few minor things (both positive and neutral) so that we're on the same page.  I had been on the fence about signing up with her because we only needed to go to one, but I was glad that I did.

5:20pm: get home, look at Joshua's sketch book...it was amazing.  He's really upped his art skills recently.

5:30pm: leave for rock climbing

5:40pm: start my lead belay class.  It was three hours, but the time went so quickly!  There's another class next week and I'll need more practice to get everything down, but things are going well.

8:35pm: leave for home

8:45pm: finish the pizza dough

9pm: finish a few items for work that need to be done after classes

9:15pm: relax

I was effectively gone from the house for 13 hours, but the day at least flew by.
