FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY Mid Winter Break is here. The kids were very ready! Having taken the 13th off for a dentist appointment and to visit the Huron High School band in rehearsal, then students out on the 16th with teachers in for Professional Development Day, with Friday being Black History Month Celebration Assembly which ran 42 minutes late (yep, double the size) reducing 3rd hour (without "warning") to 4 minutes of class---things were a bit disruptive at Pi Hi. By 2:28pm though we were all waving and rushing out the door! Since the Double Assembly Day schedule occurred during my prep hour (2nd)--that meant I had 84 minutes of uninterrupted time to: grade papers, record grades, work on lesson plans for March when we return, clean my files, dust one of my classrooms, go out and buy a lunch, come back and eat the lunch--so my day was pretty swift--oh and factor in a planned 1.5 hour massage (working on that heel spur) which ran for 2 hours. Well, I'm now ready for my week "off".
That isn't to say I am not doing anything. I hope to clean the house, make doctors appointments, go to see Dr Lu on Thursday, finish up the loose ends with my taxes and get them submitted, spend time with the Bobenmoyers on Saturday the 28th, clean out the car, visit my Dad, attend a class (or two) at the Apple store, and work on my budget.
Life is good.
I am going to rewrite my Beethoven lecture. I love Beethoven! I do think the kids would get more benefit from him though if they heard (over and over) the direct correlation as to how he fits in this time in history. I will try and make the tie ins with Delacroix, Napoleon (easy one), the Ottoman Empire, and Lord Byron. hmm huh! (Your Mom knows stuff!)
DeNozzo must have gotten into some nasty dinner food because he left me some nasty "messages" on the front porch. I tried removing it with the snow shovel--a small mountain of molded something--that wouldn't budge--so I covered it up with a pile of snow--hoping it would soften the subject (no luck)--so today before we receive our 7 inches of snow I hope to go out with boiling water and bleach and clear for the next meal.
Oh oh--here comes the snow, right on track!
Love you kids
