Wow! It is now the third week of the new semester, and I am barely keeping my head above water. Whose idea was this anyway? That schedule idea I had a few weeks back has turned out to be more of a dream than a reality. There is an old saying about the "best laid plans" that I am sure would fit in here somewhere. Basically, I have had no time for housework, crafting, let alone to keep up this blog. I decorated for Halloween the day before the holiday, and never began carving my pumpkins :-( I can give myself a little credit on the food front, though. We have eaten at home more, and are eating healthier.
I haven't eaten at McDonald's for over a week, which is a new record. Even on vacations to far away places we have not been able to avoid it for this long. I believe the McD's folks categorize someone who eats there once a week as a "heavy" user, so if I keep this up my family will drop off their radar all together!
So far, not working is harder work than work. Tomorrow I start my 16 hours of observing and tutoring with struggling readers at the local grade school. I am really looking forward to seeing how to apply some of the skills and techniques I have been learning. And, I now know I will be doing my student teaching at South Valley Junior High in January, so I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Thank goodness for Tivo. I have been able to keep up with Lost, CSI, Invasion, Surface and Survivor by recording and watching them back, skipping the commercials, instead of watching the 10:00 news. I am thinking about watching all my television this way from now on - with the commercials in fast forward. I wonder how long it will be before some marketing guru figures this out, and starts playing them in slow motion, so they will appear in regular motion on fast forward?
