Let's See . . . (there's even pictures)

I had an almost four hour math curriculum, strategizing, planning, analyzing meeting today. I actually love planning and curriculum and instruction and math. I'm so fond of it, in fact, that I want to get my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus in Mathematics . . . someday, when I have buckoos of time on my hands. But gosh, two weeks before Christmas break, in the middle of an incredibly stressful year, I'm just not that into it. We plowed through and got quite a bit accomplished however. So if I happen to teach your kid or a kid you know rest assured that their life and education will now be made even better by today's meeting.

Aren't you glad I don't teach grammar? Wait, I actually do teach grammar. That was a joke. Not the part about teaching grammar, but I don't use improper grammar in class. Just everywhere else in my life.

I'm rambling . . . can you tell?

So we got a new vacuum a couple weeks ago. And it was a little tricky to figure out. Actually, it probably wasn't tricky at all. I'm just not in the least bit mechanically inclined. Anyway, my cleaning lady was coming today, and I was afraid that she's also not mechanically inclined so I printed out some instructions for her . . . in Espanol because I don't think she reads English. Was that insulting or rude? I didn't think it was because the vacuum really wasn't easy to figure out. But then I didn't think the instructions did the greatest job explaining how to use the vacuum (I'm not entirely sure because I don't exactly read or speak Spanish) so I used google translate to add my own notes. That may have insulted her. Or she may just think I'm nuts. And she's not far off.

I tried to help Sarah and Hector and Patrick move our old entertainment center to Andrew's playroom on Sunday. I was able to lift it about a centimeter off the ground. I'm pretty sure I pulled twelve muscles in various places in my body. Which is why I'm best in an advisory position.

I promised you pictures. But I made you wait until the end. I'm nice like that.

Not sure what this is about. It's kind of creeping me out though.

This is his Gone With the Wind pose. He's swooning.

This one he said was (and I quote . . . hence the quotation marks), "beautiful". No insecurities here folks.

It's supposed to get really cold on Sunday. I think the high on Monday is supposed to be in the 40s. That may not be cold if you live in the Arctic Northern part of the United States, but here in Texas, that's pretty dern cold. Time to break out the footy pajamas.

Smile people! Tomorrow's Friday.
