Saturday Morning

It is a beautiful morning here in EC and I am just relaxing before I get going with the day. Yes, it is 10:06 and I haven't started doing anything yet. What a lazy person I am today. But, hey, I deserve a break after Halloween with 26 third-graders. We had parent/teacher conferences on Thursday after school. I started Thursday morning at school by 7:00 am, school goes from 8:25-2:55, conferenced from 3:15-9:15 pm. When home and collasped in bed, didn't even watch the news (And I can't find Glen Beck to watch at night!) Started Friday morning school at 7:30, yes I was slow, tried to keep the kids somewhat civil all day with owl pellets, spider math, Halloween stories, class party and Halloween costume parade. So relieved when the bell rang at 2:55. I stayed at school with the doors closed until 5:00 just so I wasn't bothered and could get some work done. When Garth came home we decided to go to Price to pick up stuff at Wal-mart. We didn't have to go to the carnival, so that was bitter-sweet. No little spooks at our house at all. Sure missed seeing the grandkids in their costumes. Hope they all had fun!

I have one question: Where did the month of October go? I was making my lesson plans for last week and it hit me so hard that I had almost forgotten about the owl pellets! So we spent Friday morning with the remains of owls lunches. But this year the kids couldn't have cared less. They just weren't interested at all. It is an odd group. Kids are usually into the pellets so intently for hours. This year after 20 minutes they were asking if they could throw them away. What a group!

So, here is it Saturday morning, Garth is gone to Castle Service and I need to get busy getting some cleaning done. He informed me where the vacumn is so I guess I need to use it, darn it anyway. And we bought a new shower liner so I guess that means I need to clean up the bathroom. And the kitchen, and more laundry soap means the laundry can be done. I think I will do it at 4:00 while we watch the BYU football game and the UofU game after that. We will be hermits living in the basement tonight. Just fine with me, watching the football games, the washer going, crocheting on the alter cloths (I finally found a pattern I kind of like), and just doing nothing. But, hey, I deserve it!
