Good But Busy
Crazybusy!
School is going really well to start off, though. I have a really good group of students. The first project is off to a good start, and the kids should have it finished on time by the end of the weekend. I've decided to always take up work on Monday and have it graded and handed back by Friday. That makes it easier for me, I think, and it's totally do-able. I need schedules and order and structured stuff like that.
I feel pretty today. :) I wore a new dress that I love because (1) it's 2 sizes smaller than I normally wear, (2) it fits perfectly and flatters, and (3) I bought it at a thrift store for $3! No, seriously! A thrift store! It still had the tags on it and everything. I'm usually kind of weirded out about thrift stores because you don't know where the clothes came from, but I think Tracey is swaying me over to the dark side. The shop she took me to has really nice stuff, and a lot of it still has tags on it. They were having a sale and I bought this dress thinking it probably wouldn't fit, and I've gotten so many compliments on it!
Today was the kids' school's Open House. I got to visit the kids' teachers and get supply lists, and all that. I already know 2 of the teachers, but Joseph's teacher is new. She seems really cool, though. I've met her before, briefly -- she is the mother of one of his friends. I think she's going to be a nice addition to the school. She seems like she'll be a really fun teacher, too. She has some great things planned. I already love Isaac and Olivia's teachers. So far, we've been really lucky with teachers.
I totally made up a dinner. I have nothing too cook and realized I wouldn't have time to stop at the store, so I'm making a breakfast casserole with a bunch of breakfast stuff and eggs dumped into one big casserole dish. My Dad makes something similar, so it should turn out pretty good -- kind of like a big omelette.
I have a million and one things I should be doing, so I'm terribly behind on my Flist. Let me know if there's something you want me to read, or I might not find it. I don't think I'm going to have time to catch up until this weekend, and I don't know how much time I'm going to get, but if you let me know, I'll catch up on those LJs first to be sure I don't miss the good stuff. :)
I hope everyone's doing well!
