I'm tired.

I was tired before, but then Friday night I went to an all night scrap book. It was very productive. I set realistic goals for myself. My plan was to make a pre-prepped album for a baby gift. I also needed to make some birthday cards. I got those done too. While I should have done it before I left, I cleaned out all my paper and stickers. It ended up being a good idea that I did because we decided to have a place to put stuff you no longer wanted so people could help themselves. So, things I might have kept just because they were too good to get rid of, I happily threw in the box. I did have fun, and even went to bed at a reasonable hour.

I went to sleep at a reasonable hour last night, which was good. The cat tried to wake me at 3:00, 4:00, maybe 5:00?. Then at 6:30 S2 woke up. She asked for something to drink. Knowing she wasn't feeling well, I just got up. It was a good thing. For the second day, S2 has commented that her brain hurt. She also has a bit of a runny nose and a 100.something fever even with motrin. Thankfully, I only have to volunteer at the elem school tomorrow so I can cancel that, but I'm not sure what to do with my classes on Tuesday.

I'm thinking about going back to sleep for a bit. We can't miss church today because S2 signed up for coffee hour, so I have to do something with that.

But, I think going back to sleep for an hour is required first.

Easily confused

My brain is on overload - so it comes as no surprise that reading product reviews for AIO printers is more than my brain can take - best thing since sliced bread, takes 10 minutes to print a photo, great printing, horrible image printing - and this is all from one product.

So, do you have a great All-In-One (printer, scanner, copier) you like? I'd love wireless so I can print from my laptop, no more than $199.

My shopping is limited to:

Walmart, Shopko, Office Max, and Apple Store (the University can order). The internet is also an option so if you have a great site!

So, put me out of my misery - make a recommendation.

TIA.

I'm so very impressed!!

My students are having a phone conversation with a employee from Harley Davidson. These kids are asking some of the BEST questions!

I'm not sure what my afternoon class will produce, but my morning kids are soooooo cool!

Yesterday, today

Yesterday was beautiful. It was a good day for it to be beautiful. It was in-service day and the girls were home. We went to a stamping party for kids our friends had - then it was off to the pumpkin farm because it was 45 and blue skies. I got some great pictures of the girls. They may even become our Christmas card (which WILL get sent out this year)!! I'm starting now.

Today, it was suppose to be the last day of soccer for Sarah. It was 30 degrees and snowing. Unfortunately, they called 3 minutes after we left to tell us it was cancelled. Oh well, I got a picture of Sarah standing on the snowy field.

My mood seems to match the weather. I'm feeling sluggish and tired.

Now to clean the kitchen and sit down with a glass of wine. Which will win - grading or reading.

Good Kitty!

Our cat has a mouse trapped in our room. I've not yet gotten to clean our room since the girls finished going through all their clothes this weekend. So while I've gotten a bunch of stuff out, I've not finished cleaning (as DH has reminded me several times this morning).

So, while the cat has trapped said mouse, DH can't quite get to the mouse.

I'm so glad that I have to be out of the house all day at school. Just wish I didn't have to go into the bedroom to get dressed this morning.

will I have nails left

This game has turned into a real nail bitter. I'm not even sure who I want to win - can you imagine if I did?
