Friday Five – Wasn’t I just here?


  1. Oh, that’s right, I was here less than 12 hours ago. School had curriculum night so we had to come and talk to parents. It went quickly though. You get 10 minutes per period with only three in between so it was bang bang bang. The biggest annoyance is having to talk at people all day, then do it again at night. Plus, there’s an exhausting level of performance for parents that doesn’t quite hit the same as for the students.
  2. Per an earlier post this week, I still haven’t found out what time my friend is planning the get-together for my other friend’s birthday so I guess I’ll have to miss it. I’m sorry but I plan things ahead of time. I’ll go to my 5:30 meeting then when that’s done, we have to meet a friend clear across town. It just won’t work.
  3. Earlier this week, I warded off some kind of ickiness but now, my middle boy isn’t feeling great. I gave him honey for his throat and sent him to school with a whole bottle of Zicam. Fingers crossed! He has to work!
  4. Despite the rocky start my oldest’s day got off to yesterday, it did seem to turn around. He and his brother apparently got into a fight over a game last night while I was gone but when Ash went in to mediate it all worked out. They all had a nice emotional moment and came out on the other side better…and with a plan to go to Universal later this year – ha! We’ve been talking about that for years now – them taking a boys only roller coaster trip. Dakota and I have zero interest so we’ll stay here and do what we like – cook!
  5. I should cook this weekend but the desire to do so fades as the week wears on. Then I get to the weekend and I’m like, ‘nah, I want someone to cook for me.’ We’ll see. We are going out tonight due to the meeting being somewhere but I might make fajita chicken tomorrow. We have no plans other than to clean and do laundry and watch soccer. Yay! Happy weekend everyone.
