School

Lana brought Tony to class today so I was able to give her the CD I talked about in person. It was a welcome surprise. We were 'sposed to have reviewed in class today but instead with had children who melted pennies. I say a waste of money! One cent is yet one cent. While the fire entertained some, I listened to Mr. Herb tell stories. Good stories they were too.

Our assignment, write a research paper on water, the sewage system, or soap. It was to be done in a week but I begged and it was extended to two. Thankyou Mr. Herb! Mom was shocked when I told her he had wanted it in a week. For all you college students that probably would have been no big deal but for the rest of us it would have been be a tremendous feat to accomplish. Especially since none of us are familiar at all with any of things that we must write about.

We have an extra at our house. He came home with us yesterday after church and is to be one of us till tomorrow morning. He is not used to being in a house where you must be in the least bit quiet. If one has ever been to my house you know that we don't live in a quiet home. He is a good kid just not used to having to play with others who are younger than he is. Oh and he doesn't like our food. He went four meals without eating. (When asked he said he would eat the food and doesn't complain.) He threw up the oatmeal this morning. It was just a gag reflex. Poor thing I can't say that I blame him. Oatmeal is horrid! I am not sure that my kids will eat it much of it. That is, of course, subject to change as I age and experience how economical it may be.

I am to be an English tutor in a few weeks. Have I ever mentioned that English is not my strong point. I actually don't have a strong point in my studies. I guess right now it could be Chemistry. I have always loved science. Well not earth science or light. I have yet to truly understand light and earth science is boring. Who wants to learn about the different kinds of dirt? I know it is helpful apologetically but it doesn't make me think much more interesting. Enough rambling. English isn't usually my thing but I can label the different components of a sentence and that is all I am being called to teach as of right now. After that I will learn with my students. It won't hurt me and I am fully capable of doing so.

Please pray for my dad's job.

Oh yeah I have a humorous video at the bottom of my blog now. The lady in it is the one who wrote our Children's Easter drama.
