after school care..

I don't want to go to school...

Life, today...

I can tell that the professors are getting worn down by all the bad students. They started the semester with patient minds and, understandably, they are fed up with the excuses, whining, and inability to "get it". I can see where they are coming from, it bothers me and I only have to witness it, not really "deal" with it. Aside from that, and the 53% on my algebra quiz, things are going as good as I would ever hope for. I am holding A's in all my classes right now. I am only waiting for one big grade, my speech for public speaking class. The "routine" isn't completely stable yet, but I am working it out. Taylor is in the middle of an extensive annual evaluation by a teacher at his old elementary school and tests of his abilities are always so interesting to me, so I am looking forward to the last part of it tomorrow. As usual, I have a few tests next week, so I will spend the weekend kind of cleaning, but mostly studying. I am really glad I am not a neat freak, I would have to sacrifice my grades to keep up right now. I will try to make time to post a few more videos and pictures this weekend, but no promises. But, there are some funny things that the kids have been doing. Trevor and Jewel are always saying the funniest things. Trevor caught a toad and then pouted for 2 hours because, "that frog was my best friend, and your being mean" and "he won't die, he likes it inside". He also said that "Taylor is being a bad brother, he won't let me have it". Jewel, besides the constant asking to go to either "mimi and papi's", "mimi and big daddy's", or "daydodo beach", has just learned more and more words and copies Trevor's mannerisms. Right now, they are chasing each other around the living room. Taylor and I are enjoying this year's "school" thoroughly, and we have finally started finding serious time to work on the game again. Hopefully we will start playing soon. Trent is working all the time now, but he does get to stop by the house during the day sometimes, so the season isn't at it's busiest yet. And, we know what to expect with that. So, all is well in our little house.

playing catch up...
