1. We had a wonderful weekend. The kids spent time at their friends for the weekend. Wes and I did some shopping on Saturday and ended the day with dinner out with friends. Wes and I should not go shopping together because it always equals lots of money spent. :o)
2. Wes picked up the broken part for the washing machine and installed it Sunday morning. This morning I decided to give the part a go and threw in a load of laundry HOWEVER something wasn't right. As the washing machine was agitating... I could smell burning rubber. That can't be good. Wes checked things out at lunch, pulled the machine apart again and started the machine to watch all the moving parts... but NOTHING. No burning smell, everything worked fine. A mystery but it seemed I could do more laundry, right? Well I am now on my third load and guess what.... burning rubber again. Sigh. Wes is not going to be happy about this when he gets home. :o(
3. Off to the dentist this morning in hopes of getting my tooth fixed. I arrive at the office and the assistant tells me that the dentist is not feeling well and may not be able to see me today. My thoughts start whirling, thinking about how I will survive with this tooth in its condition for longer. But he did see me and he did fix my tooth. Yay! So now I have a new filling and a sore jaw joint (from the needle), but at least the tooth is fixed.
4. I got the kids out of bed this morning a little before 8am. Deanna was grumpy about it asking why they had to get up so early. I told her that their days of sleeping in are over! I had a list of their academic assignments waiting for them to get started while I went to the dentist. A list for them to check and mark off really does help.
5. Deanna has a babysitting job this evening. She really enjoys babysitting (and the income it provides). :o)
6. The kids and I finally went over the student agenda's that I bought in September. I instructed them that they will fill it out each day with what they covered for school. Then we went through and penciled in all the upcoming activities that are scheduled from now until the end of May.
7. I watched SYTYCD-Canada last. My favorite won! Yay TJ! Way to go.
Here is what the kids did today...
1. Read Genesis 1:1 to 6:8 and Isaiah 42:5 to 43:10.
2. Competed one math lesson.
3. Read about radioactivity and nuclear power.
4. Jordan read a portion of his WW1 book. (1918- The year of Exhaustion)
5. Deanna read a portion of her book about Egypt. (The magic of mummies)
6. Read aloud -- 2 chapters of "The Lightening Thief".
Tonight will be TV and Deanna's babysitting. A good way to wrap up an eventful Monday. :o)
