I Know, I Know...

It was a bad week for the blog. My apologies. Here's the scoop:

* From what everyone tells me, there were only five days in this work week. I don't believe them. I swear there were twenty. Yep - that's how our week went. SLOW, LONG, and EXHAUSTING!

* Being playoff time, Phil spent his Sunday evening watching football with some friends. The sport continued the next day in class, as he was showing his grade 7's how to throw a football. I don't want to speak for him, but by the look of it (yes, I watched) I believe this lesson made him miss home!

* We are up to date with Private Practice and are not impressed with some of the show's characters. I mean, COME ON! Could no one take in Betsy?! Cooper - you know better than to kiss other women. And Addison...we sense a looming "cheat" with nice-accent hospital man. Grow up OCEANSIDE!

* I participated in another hardcore "kickboxing" class. I was really proud that I could walk the next day - seeing how last time I was out for three days. Yahoo! I am getting TOUGHER and STRONGER! You should see my right jab :)

* It rained. A lot. Not in a pouring kind of way, but in a slow-drizzle that evoked the question "will the sun ever come back?". Thankfully, it has returned today and one may admit it is borderline "warm" outside. YIPPEE!!!!

* Tutoring. Yep - the saga continues. I don't always feel up for it after school, but I adore my students and always have fun once I get there! The money is an added plus :)

* We have FINALLY found a place to develop photos near our house and have printed some wedding shots for the bedroom. They fit in well with our "black and white" theme and we have received killer reviews from Shani, our cleaning lady! Now - to get some done for the living room!

* I spent some time in a grade six science class in preparation for next year. They were busy learning about physical and chemical changes, as I was busy observing classroom procedures and routines! Their curiosity and sense of fun is the sweetest and I loved the excitement they showed when they mixed together vinegar and milk!!! That was a real day-maker! I cannot wait for next year!

* Phil had his second JV basketball game on Wednesday night. I went as a dedicated fan and went all out to acknowledge the players with the best sportsmanship (even if they were on the opposite team!). Although the game ended with a "loss", many small successes and improvements were seen with his A+ squad!

* Last night was GLEE NIGHT at the high school. Phil and I attended as chaperons and it turned out to be a pretty good gig! We had fun playing badminton, basketball and volleyball with the GLEE-FUL grade tens. We enjoyed the GLEE "sectionals" episode on the outdoor screen and had fun singing along to GLEE albums one, two, three and four. The slushies were a clever idea (well - if you leave out the "3 degrees Celsius" part) and the corndogs seemed to be a good alternative to "grilled Jesuses" (not approved by administration). Oh - I also won a palm-sized speaker that plays club-sized sound (haha - I suppose you're bound to win if you're given ten attempts during GLEE trivia).

This is all I can recall for now! A bedtime of 8:30 doesn't leave much room for anything else!!!

We did some grocery shopping this morning and Phil has headed out for his weekly basketball league. I intend on doing some RELAXING while he is gone :) I think the blog was a good first step!
