Top Ten Random Thoughts

All I can do today is ramble, because my head is in a fog. I think I need to start taking my allergy medicine again. I even had two mugs of coffee (not decaf, either) and I still feel foggy.

#1 - It's been a long week, and yet it's only been two days. So far, today is going MUCH better. I haven't yelled yet and Jenny hasn't been too annoying yet.

#2 - It's a short week for us!! J didn't work Sunday, since we were in Michigan for the weekend, so he only has a three day work week (ends today).

#3 - Jenny is sitting on the floor counting in Spanish. Although her pronunciations aren't quite right. It's cute!

#4 - Jenny is very excited about school. She keeps asking if she can "take this to school with me, please Mommy?" She is looking forward to all the fun times ahead! I think it might be time to start a "School Countdown Calendar". She's currently telling me: "I want to go to Homeschool right now!"

#5 - I have all my worksheets for Unit One printed and/or scanned onto the computer. I got my scanner out today and scanned all the pages from the library books I needed for the first six weeks of school. I'm not even going to start planning Unit Two until I see how Unit One is going (other than just general "here's what I want to accomplish" planning). I have two favorite books that I'm using for lesson plans right now: "Let's Read" and "Using the Standards - Numbers & Operations, Gr. K". Plus, I found a couple websites that have really good printable worksheets.

#6 - I think I might take the kids to the park today after we go to the library. Jenny asked me this morning if we could go swimming at the park today. So, if it's nice enough this afternoon, I might just comply. Aren't I a nice Mommy?!

#7 - I need some new random topics to blog about. This is not really supposed to be a blog about my family, etc. I have a blog for that. This is supposed to be a blog about randomness - a place to export my brain clutter and hone my writing skills. So, I need ideas. What would you like to see me write about?

#8 - We've actually spent a bit of time out in the yard this week. It's been nice to get outside and enjoy the yard. David loves to crawl around in the grass and eat (or at least taste) everything in sight. Jenny loves to run around the yard and play with the neighbors.

#9 - Jenny is starting to get a bit annoying. I think it might be time to get off the computer and give the little girlie some one-on-one Mommy time.

#10 - I couldn't leave off at nine - it just wouldn't be right. So, here's ten. If you come back tomorrow, I'll have a list for you of the things I want to do. I sat down one day and made a list. It will probably grow. And I'll probably never do most of the things on it. But it is what it is. And you'll have to come back tomorrow to see it!
