Tuesday, June 24, 2008 - The Sickness is Spreading
The most wonderful time of the year - when both Mr Mailman and Mr UPS deliver brown packages full of perfect-looking materials for the coming school year - we can revel in their perfectness and not have to do any actual work other than laying out the year's schedule.
But now today, I ask, do you think I need to be worried? I opened up the new MasterPak 2 of CalcuLadder drills and then took a look at AlphaBetter, only to hear Miss Dog Lover say, "Hey! That looks like fun!"
I am pretty sure I never considered alphabetizing words any sort of fun. Wait till I tell her it's even better than she thought -- she gets to try to beat the clock while she's at it. But I am so mean. She'll just have to wait till school starts back to give it a try.
This is one of my favorite times of year, which, I think, makes me a total nerd. If the FedEx tracking info is right, I should get a hefty box tomorrow...yes!!!
We got our stimulus package -- I mean school books yesterday. Alphabetter does sound like fun. I always liked alphabetizing. and diagramming sentences....
I digress.
We even got our Rosetta Stone package that we splurged on and it took every bit of restraint that I had not to plug it into the computer.
I know - an update is needed - but I've got nothing to write about. It's pretty boring to write that the 2 year old totally rules the roost and I"m constantly trying to dethrone her. :-) Keep checking tho - The professor's b-day is coming up -- I should post about him. *LOL*
