Alright, the husband is at a friend's house watching the Mizzou game...so I am here at home getting things done. With the game on so late, it was not an okay time for me to be out until about midnight and then get up and deal with third graders in the morning. Not gonna happen.
Here I am at home...doing laundry, making a menu for the rest of this week and next week, changing the sheets, and grading papers. Productive, yes. Fun, not so much.
Menu for the next week:
Tomorrow: husband and I will have our Friday night date out
That is about as far as I got. My lunch will consist of the leftovers or a sub sandwich. Mmm...sounds yummy! Some of the recipes are linked in, so click away!
Is it wrong that everytime the weatherman says there may be sprinkles, that I think of cupcake sprinkles falling from the sky? Yep, pink, orange, yellow, blue, and green sprinkles falling on a cupcake world. Weird, maybe...do I care? No.
Yesterday I came home and cleaned the living room...for like the 800th time this year. How in the world can the living room get so freaking cluttered?! Arg! No, I am not a pirate, but I am pretty sure that is the noise I have in my head right now...so there ya go.
I got a pile of papers graded. By pile, I mean pile. It is pretty serious. The pile was at LEAST 6 inches tall. Ridiculous. Now I have to enter them in the computer. Fun fun. I think that it would be interesting if parents could see how much work we do at home. I mean, it was my day off yesterday, yet I spent 4 hours at work getting ready for the week and then I spent about 1.5 hours at home grading papers. On my day-off. Awesome. I love my job, but sometimes I wish that I didn't have so much to do at home. I think Mr. S. wishes that, too.
Mr. S. hates his job right now. Hates is a strong word...he is unhappy though. I am trying to do all I can to make this an easier time for him, but I don't know what else to do. I think that just trying to make the house a happier place is the best that I can do at the moment. We diffuse about our days when we get home while I am cooking dinner we usually stand in the kitchen and hash it all out, and then the rest of the night we try not to talk about it. I usually just share funny stories about my third graders (because Lord knows they are hilarious!) and we have fun. I just hate that he feels like this about work. I mean, it's a place he has to go to everyday. Who wants to be miserable everyday? Not me.
Okay, I rambled on more than I thought I would. I really thought I would quickly post about sprinkles falling from the sky....welp, I guess I had a lot to get off my mind. So, there ya go. Have a lovely day!
*sigh* I have to get a lot of things done today. I did make it to work and get things done for this week. That makes me feel SO much better to have my job done for the week.
I still need to get my house cleaned...and papers graded...so...yeah...I have a lot to do. I really shouldn't be on here, but I really felt the need to catch up on things. Funny thing is, I really grew a little inspiration from some people cleaning up their own spaces recently and posting pictures. Maybe I should take pictures as my OWN inspiration to get things cleaned up around here. Haha...maaaaaaaybe.
Okie dokie people...I have to get to work since I am pretty far into my day already.
Mr. S. got our gym membership temporarily worked out for us to go as guests for the next 7 days until they get the trade worked out with his company. He called me and told me early this afternoon that if I wanted to go that I could....so I pulled on my sweats and tennis shoes, grabbed my new iPod, and out the door I went. I went and did 3 miles...wow! I haven't been in about a month...and 3 miles! Goodness! I can't wait to go tomorrow!
New Year's Eve get together here at our house tomorrow night. We usually have our friends over, I make tons of different dips, and we play board games and Wii. Turns out to be a great night...oh, and drinks! Yum! I can't wait to have everyone over tomorrow night!
Speaking of which, I need to get the house cleaned up....why does the house never stay clean? Serisouly, I just cleaned it Monday. MONDAY! Really....I need it to stay clean.
I found a great site to take care of all the books I read. It is called http://www.goodreads.com. It is free, you can write reviews, and read other people's reviews. It's pretty awesome!
