Body Clock Not Reset.

So.....

Resetting the body clock doesn't seem to be working too well. lol

I went to see 17 Again again tonight with two different friends. Still loved it! Finally wrote my review and it's up at Mirkwood.

Odd hail and sun and rain and snowing thing happening today. Supposed to be nice Thursday and through the weekend, though. That's good.

Not yet finished with Daniel Deronda. Still have over 100 pages to go before Saturday night.

Done with the scoring job. Not taking another, if ever offered. Too stressful.

Was not a slacker Tuesday or Wednesday. Did a full day of lessons both days, despite reluctance from the students. Planning a full day Thursday and Friday as well. Only another month of regular lessons and we'll be on to summmmmmmmmerrrrrrrrr!

Trying to get our ducks in a row for summer, speaking of that halcyon season. David has camp in June. Our anniversary is in June. Book club each month. Homeschool camping in August. David has been invited to go away with friends to Cedar Point. Possibly going to church family camp in July. I'd like to go camping a couple more times too, since we have the pop-up. David has a mission trip in August.

Ok, time for bed. Fading fast.....

Diary of a Slacker Mom

OK, thought I'd share my SLACKER day with y'all.

8:00 Alarm went off. Shut it off, used the bathroom, and got back in bed. (That's the slacker decision that made the day a Slacker Day. lol) Went back to sleep.
9:00 Heard a child come downstairs. It was Suzy and she crawled in with us for a cuddle. Later James came in too. Not sure exactly what time I rolled out of bed, but it was probably around 10. If I say 9:45, that makes me sound a lot more energetic, doesn't it?
10:15 Got on the computer to check email and facebook. Bob brought me coffee. I never did eat breakfast. Did my daybook blog entry at about 11:00.
11:30 Did Bible lesson with the kids. That was the start to our lessons today - 2 hour delay! lol
12:00 Got in the shower, got dressed. Told the kids to make egg salad and set the table. They did.
12:45 Ate lunch - egg salad sandwich, sugar snap peas, radishes, sugar free pudding, more coffee.
1:10 or thereabouts Called a friend to discuss our meeting tonight (and my latest, and somewhat embarrassing, obsession)
1:45 Got back on the computer to talk to Jennifer, but she isn't here yet. Play Word Twist and get on youtube instead. Help kids with (read: yell at kids about) their lessons.
At some point, I got off the computer and did a phonics lesson and sight word practice with Suzy.
3:05 Chat with Jennifer for about 30 minutes on IM and commiserate with her about being a slacker.
3:40 Mix up a banana chocolate chip bundt cake (to try to keep from being a total slacker) and stick the ham in the oven. Help Suzy with her math while doing that. Load some job possibilities on the computer for Bob before I head off. Wash up the dishes from that baking project.
4:20 Copy some grammar tests for David and Emily on the scanner, then get sucked in again to the computer. Figure out how to tell Picasa to look for my photos. Help Emily with her typing on the laptop.

Before the meeting tonight, I need to read 5 chapters in my book and oversee the kids' chores. And eat dinner. I'd also like to send one job application for Bob and one query letter for myself, but that might wait until after the meeting. And I need to do some exercise at some point. So, I better go get to it! If I get all that done, I may redeem my slacker day after all.

Yesterday I let Suzy do a makeover on me. She painted my toenails, although I did my own fingernails (and her toes and Em's fingers). And she did a bang-up job on my make-up, don't you think? I'm scared to even post this. lol
