Tuesday

I didn't go to gigs Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, but stayed home to get work done. I helped kids with schoolwork,  listened to my lectures,  got groceries, and cleaned a little. Charlie went to swimming with Georgina yesterday and today. I wish I could have gone swimming. I can't remember the last time I went.

Angelica came over and tried on her bridesmaid dress for Connie's wedding. I am going to hem it. I did schoolwork with Garrett and Tommy until I 8 o'clock when Tommy and I went to Winn Dixie. I bought 10 more gallons of water,  non perishable food, and batteries. The hurricane is supposed to miss us but I want to be prepared in case the electric goes out or whatever. 

I have to get up about 5:50 AM to take Garrett to the bus stop for his class in the morning. Buenos noches.

Saturday

On Thursday Bob and I went with Randy and Mikki to look for a car for Bobby. He bought a Kia Soul. There was even a rainbow over Bob's head when we went to get in the car to leave, but it didn't come out very well in the picture.

 Friday we did school all day and I mean all day, till midnight. 

Saturday I did Tommy's 5th Spanish class out of 8. I will start helping him study tomorrow. Ive told him he has to take notes but he doesn't and that's going to hurt him. I had Garrett fold laundry and hang out up curtain rods in my bathroom. I tried to get Charlie to start his drawing for art but he was being a brat. I had him practice his fiddle instead. Oh, I forgot to mention that I walked this morning. The sun was shining and I know we are supposed to get some bad weather for a few days. We are all watching Hurricane Matthew. 

I went to KW with Bob and Kurt late this afternoon, then came home and made Charlie a sample of his art project so he would have something to look at for his drawing. I did dishes and then I corrected Tommy's math. After that I had no more energy and went to bed. But first I had to referee Charlie and Tommy.

The pic below my parents sent me today. It's their back yard.

Wednesday

I woke up with a headache but medicine and ice on my head made it go away. I went walking a little late and it was SO hot, but the sun was shining and I was glad after yesterday's dreary day.

We did school all day. Charlie was a punk but I made him keep working. While he did his online art class I watched Tommy's 3rd Spanish class. He had his 8th class today. He was complaining about a test coming up and how much he hates the class so I decided to watch the classes and decide for myself. The class is great. Tommy complained about the textbook. It is fine. The teacher is doing a great job. I have to take notes and she moves quickly. You cannot be a slackerd. So Tommy is trying to be a slackerd and I have notes so I will drill him and make him learn! I've told him to take notes and he won't. Maybe I'll make him copy mine. :0) Each class is 1 1/2 hours and I have to catch up. I want to quiz Tommy everyday too. Wish me luck. 

Kurt was supposed to take Joe for blood work this week too, and they weren't trying to get that done so I had to get on their cases too. While doing all this I also made split pea soup for supper.

Bob needed the battery charger for his car and when I went to pick up Joe from church I forgot it. Charlie's friend was over just before we left and dropped a jar of homemade raspberry jam on the floor and it broke. I had to clean it up and was now running late, and that's what made me forget it. But when I got to Joe's he said the charger was in their laundry room. We checked and it was there.

We went to church and on the way home Charlie and I got groceries. Garrett and Tommy helped us carry it up the stairs, and then I had to put it away. :0( It's so hard to strategically locate the produce in the fridge. It is packed in there. 

Charlie finished 3 drawings for his art class and I handed them in. I was too tired and it was late so I didn't take care of the dishes. I just went to bed.

Tuesday

I took Charlie to the kid fiddle jam this morning. Garrett went to Bbsit grandkids and I picked up Joe to play bass. I played fiddle most of the time. That was a first for me. 

Afterwards I took Joe home, dropped Charlie off at home, and Garrett and I went on some errands. We got gas. I had $1.80 off a gallon. Then we went to the bank. We stopped and got a sub and then Kurt called needing a ride from Dick's shop. His car was having issues so he had taken it there. We picked him up and Garrett drove home. 

I did school with Charlie and I was surprised that we got so much done with our late start. I helped Garrett a little with his homework and then dropped Charlie at church for his ride to swimming. When I got home I listened to two of Tommy's Spanish classes and took notes. That was three hours. Tommy is being a big baby about the class. Tomorrow is the 8th class so I am going to try to catch up so I can help him to get his feet firmly on the ground.

Now it was about 9 o'clock and Tommy was whining about his history quiz that he needed to take before midnight. So I went over questions from his textbook with him and took notes. He fights me about taking notes and doesn't do it. Grrr!!! Then he took the quiz and did fine. Big baby. 

I tried to practice fiddle about 10:45 but decided to call it quits and go to bed instead.

Saturday

I cleaned all day and did laundry. I should have planned this week's menu and got groceries but I didn't. 

The band had two gigs today and I didn't go. I went with Bobby and Charlie to Pizza Works since I didn't want to make supper. I watched a movie while practicing my tambour embroidery. 

Here's a few pics Tom sent me of his trip to NY. Tom helped my dad take apart an old camper.
