Short Week - Good Thing

Today is Thursday; tomorrow is Friday...well, it is to me, anyway. :-) The kids have Thursday and Friday off, and I have Friday off, so I am happy!! I have just completed my lesson plans for next week, and I think I am ready for tomorrow.

We have been covering fractions this week, and I think they are doing as well as can be expected. I am ready to move on to a new math topic. :-)

Okay, I know it is bad, but I really can't think of anything to talk about except for school stuff. Life at home is going well, although the city will be cutting all the trees in our backyard (which I spent many hours trimming this summer). I guess they are too tall, even though they almost don't count as trees, to be under a power line. Who knows, I bet they are just "weed trees" that grew because the previous owners probably hadn't cut the grass in five years or something. :-) Anyway, the downside is that those "weed trees" are now providing shade to the dogs, so we will have to figure something else out. Ah well, I guess there is something going on at home. :-)

The dogs are doing well (although they love dirt and digging too much), and Monty loves to come and try to cuddle in MY lap in the mornings! hee hee When Evan asked why Monty never tried to get in his lap, I just said, "Maybe it's because you are gone so much! You know, they will both love ME more than YOU if you are gone like this all the time!" Isn't that awful? Not really. If I weren't around, he would probably not even need a place to live because he would be at work so much. So I just see myself as his balance, and don't you need one extreme to balance another?

Okay, I have gotten chatty, and I need to go home. I am extremely hungry, and I need nourishment. I also have to go home and "test" something out.
