It Is That Time Again

Can you believe it is report card time again, already? Today I looked over my calendar for the next week and just laughed. Some weeks I have nothing really pressing to do, but not this week! We are so excited about Nancy coming home for a few days so I am trying to get a few things done at home. I thought I ought to sweep the kitchen floor at least once, and clean the bathtub. OK, I should do that all the time anyway. I do have the dishes washed, if you don't count this morning. Yes, my bed is made. It always is before I eat breakfast. There is no way I will get the bathroom walls cleaned. They are waiting for paint later in the year. Dad did help clean out the growing food from the fridge last night, so that is looking better. I might get the boxes out of the front room so we do have a couch to sit on.
And then I realized.....report cards! You all know how much time I put in at school to get report cards completed. I must say it has been better since we changed the format of the report cards. But it was decided that we would hold parent/teacher conferences on Tuesday! Which means I need the report cards done by Monday night. Nancy comes in on Friday and I have a math class on Saturday. I am skipping out on 1/2 of the class to spend more time with Tyler, which means getting the report cards done on Monday, which is impossible to do on one day. An option is to work on Sunday. The last day I did that I broke my arm, so I really don't want to do that. So I stayed here at school tonight to get as much done as possible. I only have the attendance to complete, put in a few numbers, and print them out on Monday. I think I will be ready.
I will need to get substitute plans ready for Friday and Wednesday (after conferences that run from 3:00 to 9:00 on Tuesday.) Basically, I am too hurried to worry. What happens, happens. We are just glad to have Tyler here for a few days.
We are hoping that Tammy and her kids will be able to come down on Saturday and we can all go to the new swimming pool in the afternoon. And maybe Josh could help Dad take down the few Christmas lights on the house.
Do you think I should change my calendar and bulletin board in my room? The calendar says December and the bulletin board says "Merry Christmas." Maybe that will get done before next week. But then, maybe not!
