Random Tuesday

I'm linking up with Stacy for some random fun.

I feel like Garfield does about Mondays.

Well, not every Monday, but today.  I don't know what it was, but it was quite a day.  It started with an 8:00 meeting.  Ended at 5:30 with another meeting.  Came home to cook dinner, eat, then out to pick up some Christmas gifts I ordered that were shipped to the store. 

I don't know why today was so... meh.  Maybe because the students complain about everything.  They don't want to do any work.  And their lack of skills, disappoints me. A sixth grader should know how to find the subject and verb in a sentence, right?  And how to write a complete sentence?  Ah well.  It is what it is.

Moving on.  Brighter note.  I love Christmas!  I love the religious aspect, but I also love the trees, decorations, songs... I love buying gifts for others.  I like making pretty packages. 

And Mr. Forgetfulone could live without Christmas.  He would rather take a vacation, so we're compromising.  We're going to New Orleans and Memphis in a few days.  It won't take the place of Christmas, which makes me happy, but he gets a short trip out of it.  We'll be flying to New Orleans and taking the train to Memphis.  I bet it's really cold there!

And now...

This is a pretty accurate description of "Fall" in Texas.

This is soooo me!

Have a great week!
