Quiet

I am going to have a quiet day.

Ripping music to my computer and working on my CCE lessons, updating my ONS roster for submission to National ONS offices, completeing a poster on CINV (chemo induced nausea and vomiting), and ... and ... working with the tutor on his ad for the church bulletin.

It will still be quiet just more challenging to wait for his creative mind to tell me what to change next.

Maybe I should have Enya playing in the background to sooth the senses.

Here is another picture of the kids from homecoming.

I need more pictures. I'll try to remember my camera Tuesday at their concert when they are both dressed in their formals.

They Still Look Good

Okay, so I am a bit behind in getting the pictures off my camera.

But it doesn't mean I didn't take the pictures.

Homecoming was ... 2 months ago.

Amy and Colt went - not together - it just is that they wanted to hang out with their respective socail clans and it happened to be at the same high school.

Yes, they are the same height now, and Colt is slimming down so quick as he shoots up that his pants, bought in August, fall off his skinny butt and ride up to his ankles.

I believe Iwill need to take the boy shopping after Christmas!

On the road......finally.

We got Amy on the road, the actual road, Tuesday.

I think it freaked the crap out of her when I made her drive with other traffic and then drive us home.

The grin all the way home was really cool to see!

And she did great, as you all knew she would.

Next weekend, I'll be child free as they are both going to the Archdiocesan Youth Conference in Arkansas.

If you don't succeed...try, try again.

We are going to try to go driving today. I am ready and waiting to take her out and it has been too much homework the past few days. I just don't remember, wait, yes, I DO remember staying up late to finish homework. Golly, homework stinks.

In the meantime, I am working on recipe cards and my grocery list for next week.

Back to work tomorrow night for 3 nights.

Tutor student this Saturday. And the crew to see PawPaw.

RCIA, UpperFaithmen, CCE and Mass on Sunday.

I can try to take Amy driving again on Tuesday night. in the dark.....oooooh, what fun.

What Do You Think?

Amy needs more driving instruction and driving time, but it is raining today. Should I take her out in this?

The sad thing is that I have been working so much or she has too much homework that we have not been out but three times since August. How sad is that?

Confused

My week is all messed up. No, I am not complaining just explaining if you talk to me and I am not really oriented.

I was off all weekend, sleeping nights. Although I practically was asleep at  3pm Saturday at the Renaissance Festival!

Had to work Monday night, so nap time from 12-5 pm. I love to sleep.

Worked from 6:45 PM to 7:15 then taught a class til 9 AM. Back home to nap from 1-5 then up for the night and back to bed at 1 AM til 6 AM.

Wednesday, back to work to give chemo at 8:30 AM but got held up and ended up staying until 6 PM. Was SUPPOSED to work at 7PM but luckily got a replacement to cover me and got to go home to sleep.

Thursday back to work at 7:30 AM for a meeting then taught another class, completed my biometric profile for open enrollment and am now back at home.

I am headed to bed at noon and back to work at 6:30 PM.

Friday will be interesting as I finish work at 7:15 AM then am going shopping for the Toys for Tots program, then back to the hospital for the ICARE awards luncheon at 11:30 AM. I then plan to come home nap for an hour then go get Amy for her cello lesson at 2:30 PM. Back home for dinner then off the the church for the Junior High Dance from 6:30 PM-10:00 PM. Sleep a bit then do grocery shopping Saturday AM and down to bed for work Saturday night.

Are you confused yet?  How about feeling tired?

Yes, I love my job, and yes, I love working nights.

p.s. I also love my sleep.

Orch('ork') Dorks

I've gotta' couple of them - Orch Dorks.

Had their first concert last night. Amy in her formal gown and Colt in a tuxedo. Weird.

The orchestra parent association (OPA) sent out an e-mail at 12:30 pm asking for food donations to be brought up at 6:30 pm. Didn't happen in my world as I just looked at my e-mail this morning.

And they had plenty of snacks, enough for even the band students who tromped through after the concert when they finished marching band practice.

Colt was asking to wear his tuxedo to the Homecoming dance.

I said "No", often and repeatedly.

When he found out they omitted him from the program - he asked again.

Then I said....

"No"

Yup, he is an orch dork of the highest magnitude. And I still love him!
