Days 40-43; October 31-November 3, Friday-Monday

I know, I know. . .I'm slackin'. So sorry!

FRIDAY! - Halloween. . .
Went by Walmart after school to get last minute Halloween necessities - such as candy, black hair color, etc. Came home, rested a bit? (I think. . . ) then got Jacob dressed. We went by a few houses in Placid Acres before heading to the Trunk or Treat at church. It was so-so attended, but not a bust. . . After that, Jordan, Teresa, the Elders, Jacob, and me went to Pizza Hut and had VERY POOR service - -which resulted in a free pizza. Came home, chilled, went to bed

SATURDAY!
Woke up, did several loads of laundry (YAY), took the Lumina to the Jacomes' with dad, came back, worked on laundry some more, CLEANED OUT MY CAR!!!!! Oh my goodness. Read it again. . . I CLEANED OUT MY CAR!!!!! - first time I've done that since at least June - - perhaps awhile before then! It was AWFUL. Ok - so then, I went and even vacuumed it out, and went through the car wash! YAY!
Then, we went to Hinesville - got some stuff from Kroger for Grandma, a few things from Big Lots, and a couple things from Walmart over there. Ate at Buffalos . . . came back. I cooked chicken soup with rice, attempting to follow Teresa's instructions. It turned out pretty good, but I accidentally left it simmering MUCH longer than I should have. WHOops! It was actually awesome the next day with extra broth poored into it to accomodate the overly-simmered-gooeyness. Jacob even ate a bowl and a half of it! Saturday evening, I went to Walmart in Jesup to get loads of groceries. When I got home, I swept and mopped the kitchen, cleaned off the counters, that kind of thing.

SUNDAY!
Went to church. After church, fed Jacob and myself left over CSw/R. Yum! After a bit, we went over to the Cooleys', watched a movie and a half, Teresa made Lasagne. Then, we came home, I tried to get motivated about my on-line class to mixed results, loaded and ran the dishwasher, watched a little TV, trimmed Jacob's hair, went to bed.

MONDAY!
Had a PLC (Professional Learning Community) meeting after school. Then, took Saundra by Kmart, then to her house. Then Jacob and I went to Harvey's to get a few things for dinner, as well as some vegetables for Grandma that Walmart didn't have the other day. Then, we came home and I made tacos. Yum. Then, I cleaned the kitchen up, took out the trash, and decided it was about time to finally blog again.

*I have identified and such my child that I will tutor for my class - -his step-mother is the secretary at my school, so most days he is there after school anyway. I will be able to fairly easily do a half-hour with him each day without needing to arrange transportation and such. I also already know him, he is pleasant. I get a long very well with his step-mother, so that will be super convenient. Also - I asked his classroom teacher (a good friend of mine - - the one I made cookies for on her birthday) to be my "peer mentor," which I also had to pick for the class. SOoooo. . .while I am having an EXTREMELY hard time motivating myself to do the work. . .I am at least making efforts to get the ball rolling to get the stuff done!!*

This week overview:

Monday - - done pretty much!
Tuesday - - perhaps Pre-Test DH (the kid I will tutor), other than that - should be home all afternooon, evening.
Wednesday - - Jacob has scouts at the Scout Hut
Thursday - - hmmmm. It seems like there is something. . .and it's that evening. . .cause I was thinking. . .ok; that will be ok, cause the next day I don't have to teach, cause I will be on the field trip. . .but what was it?? Goodness. Oh well, I can't remember!
Friday - - Disney on Ice with Jacob in Savannah during the day.
