Well, the weekend at my mommasan's was very nice. However, I had SWORN that I would be out of there by 9 am on Sunday morning. Alas. I didn't leave til about 4:30 on Sunday night. Sigh. So, I start the brand new week with no clean clothes, a sink full of dishes, carpets that need to be vaccuumed and a toilet so filthy that I feel threatened breathing the air in that room. Also, I didn't do a single bit of correcting while at her house. Nor did I prepare anything for the children to do this week at school. I have survived the first two class hours (and that IS the class I am developing from scratch this semester, so the worst is over.) Senior Seminar, thank goodness, always does Vocab on Mondays, and I have had the vocab done for years. I just had to pull the originals out and run off several copies. Of course I somehow brain farted that the answer sheet has a front AND a back, so I had to get the back sheet run off, pull all the packets that I'd already made apart, and stick that in. Sigh. It always happens on days that are already stressful. On the way home from mom's yesterday afternoon, I pulled over a few times and took pictures with my digital camera of cornfields and the road leading into West Concord, downtown West Concord, and a couple of shots of my house. Eventually, I will post all of these pictures in here. I was gonna do some last night, but I'd left my digital camera downstairs and was too lazy to go down after it. So, maybe tonight. I finished sewing the olive green and cat print dress for Barbie. Then I crocheted an orange shawl to give it a little color. I crocheted that while listening to the last of the Angels and Demons tape last night. Now that my Halloween swaps are done, I have to get them into envelopes and send them off to their new owners. I have to take pictures of THEM too so that I can post them up. Heh. I need to make a couple other little accessories for the Kelly swap. I want to finish making the pirate costume and do a little sweater to go with the orange "poodle" skirt (it has a bat instead of a poodle--heh heh). If I can find a decent pattern, I will crochet the little sweater. Tonight when I get home, I HAVE to do laundry, since I am wearing my last pair of clean pants. Ugh. Next week is MEA, thank God! We get Thursday and Friday off!!!! Hallelujah!!!! I can hardly wait!! I intend to clean my house from top to bottom. I hope at least one day of that four day weekend will be nice so that I can work on my poor bedraggled flower patch. It is SO Unsightly. Well, you will see it when I post the pictures of my house. Perhaps the shaming and scorn of others will chasten me enough to get my lazy ass out there and do something about it. Ack. Well, it is now my prep period, and I have to use every spare second I have today to get stuff done so I don't fall behind. That is all. For now....
