Spring Break Update...

As promised, I worked really hard over spring break, and I am really proud of everything I got done! It was a pretty productive week and weekend, and I feel like I am ready to tackle the rest of the school year...

Here's everything that happened:

-I finished reading a 400 page textbook, 6 articles, and another 200 page textbook, and finished the 30-page reading journal I have to turn in on April 15th

-I wrote three essays for the online Pre-Cal class

-I wrote an 11-page article review after searching for HOURS for a article that fit the guidelines the instructor gave us

-I finished Geometry lesson plans for the next week and a half and planned out the rest of the year

-I finished Pre-Cal lesson plans for the next two weeks, prepared the next couple of weeks of lesson plans (but didn't finish them) and planned out the rest of the year

-I revised and submitted the last paper for my History of Math class

-I graded the Geometry quizzes and Pre-Cal quizzes I gave last Friday and updated all the grades online

- I watched a LOT of Law and Order, Without a Trace, Gilmore Girls, The Office, cheesy, sappy movies on TMC, remodeling/designing shows on HGTV, and baby shows on TLC :-)

So, for my masters classes, I am finished with two of them (Pre-Cal and History of Math) except for the final exams and am 1 big project away from finishing the Reading class!!!

For my classroom, I have both classes planned for the rest of the year and lesson plans through next week. The rest of the lesson plans for the year won't be bad at all, and we are only about eleven weeks away from the end of the year. Whoo hoo!!

For the baby, not much has happened yet, but I still have time for that. One thing at a time over here...

And then, this weekend, Travis and I worked on the house and our own personal needs. We made a quick trip to San Antonio on Saturday to shop and hang out with my parents, and we bought a few essentials - new shoes for both of us and stretchy pants for me!! :-)

Then, today, Travis scrubbed the shower, mowed the lawn, and FIXED THE SINK!! We are tired of waiting for the insurance company, and it looks like it will be another few weeks (maybe even months) before they take our claim seriously, so Travis just went and bought a new faucet and figured out how to install it. It works perfectly and isn't leaking anymore. We are thrilled to have a functioning sink back! And, I feel good because the house is finally starting to be clean again!! I finished some work, cleaned the bathrooms, washed all the dishes, and cleaned up the kitchen. And then we found a giftcard for Chili's that we didn't know we had, so we had a free dinner too. :-)

So it was a good, productive spring break here at the Daniels' household!

And, Happy (late) St. Patrick's Day to everyone! I bought cards to send out, but I totally forgot to mail them... I'll just save them for next year!! :-)
