Monday In Bullet Points

It's Monday, and all I have are random thoughts bouncing around in my head (and YES, their bouncing does hurt!)

• Today was my last visit with the physical therapist for my injured hip. It is feeling better, but it's such a fun place. I'm going to kind of miss it.  I was given some of those giant stretchy bands and a whole bunch of exercises to keep working on. No more putting it off. Time to get back to the gym!
• I had a new student start today. She's very cute and quiet (and has a really cute name I wish I could share, but can't.) The count is up to 10 girls and 2 boys, and rumor has it another parent was looking at signing their child up for our Pre-K program sometime this week. Oh yeah, it's another girl.  I feel so bad for my two boys.
• I'm trying to do better at cooking meals. I actually cooked 3 times last week, and I'm cooking tonight.  When I grocery shopped, it was with a plan! I have a list of meals to make this week, and I'm going to do my best to stick to it.  I really hate to cook though.
• The Christmas program is coming along. Now that the script is written, and the songs downloaded, it's time to start working on the media part (video clips) and costumes. We have 28 berets to sew, 17 sheep costumes, 3 donkeys, 3 cows, and 3 doves.  Besides that, there are props to make.  Add in all the practice time we have to fit in with teaching 27 preschoolers and Kindergartners 7 songs, and you have me counting down the days until Christmas break.  Two glorious weeks off!!
• Poor Marissa. I was supposed to take her and her friends for a day of shopping in Schaumburg, IL for her birthday...which was at the end of September. Between lack of funds, sickness, and conflicting schedules, it still hasn't happened.  
• Today my afternoon coffee is now my evening coffee.  It's just been that kind of day.
• Everyone in this family has an early bedtime tonight! It's for my sanity's sake.
• Stupid baseball! I was looking forward to Dr. House. Boo!
• I took all the leftover Halloween candy to school and actually let my students have some at snack time today.  Only because it was "Cc" day and c says "k" as in candy. It's a rare treat for me to give them any sugary substance, so for them it was a great day.
• The weather here was beautiful today! Sunny and a perfect fall day. Too bad it get's dark early, I missed out on going for a walk.  The whole cooking dinner thing wrecked that plan.
• Ooh! Exciting news. This Sunday is the Mercy Me concert!  I'm very much looking forward to seeing them and Tenth Avenue North.  I've never gotten to meet the Tenth Ave. guys and I really hope that can happen.
• We have card club this Saturday too.  That's always a good time!

Well, dinner is almost done and Monday is almost over. Can I get an amen for that?!?
