Lessons Learned

Here are some things that I've learned in my crazy week:


1. Sam's MBA Midterms = Stressed out husband = A husband I don't get to see. Husband? What husband?



2. A lunar eclipse makes kids go CRAZY!! My students were NUTSO on Thursday after the lunar eclipse on Wednesday.

3. It would be more fun, less painful, and less expensive to spend a day at Disneyland than to see a specialist doctor.



4. Weekends and days off are more fun as a kid than as an adult. Our days off often consist of laundry, grocery shopping, cleaning the house, etc. Not anyone's idea of fun!


5. I'd rather spend any day going shopping than doing my lesson plans! Haha! Surprise, surprise! On Monday, instead of doing my lesson plans, I took a shopping trip to Ross. I found 3 shirts and a pair of kakhi capris for $35. Talk about exciting!

6. When it rains, it pours. And it doesn't pour money!! :)! This week we found out we had to pay taxes (cursed 2 incomes!), my car was in the shop, Sam's tuition was due, and we had to pay for my specialist doctor (he was a pretty penny). Thank goodness for savings!





7. Thursdays are pretty boring without "The Office", but American Idol is a GREAT substitute!

1. I can relate to Sam since I'm going through the same thing. So I'm guessing Amanda can relate to you.

2. Lunar eclipse? What lunar eclipse? Utah was covered in clouds meaning no eclipse for us. But the drivers were crazy that day. We came home and locked ourselves in our apartment.

3. Fact: Nothing is better than Disneyland...nothing.

4. Weekends...what's that? We haven't had a weekend in quiet some time. Hopefully this weekend will be different.

5. Shopping or lesson plans....I choose Disneyland.

6. You're lucky it's rain when it pours. When is snows it is a blizzard here would be our motto...literally. I hear you with your car issues. We are going on month 8 of fixing something on our car EVERY MONTH! Grrrrr....

7. Nothing can replace The Office. We actually watch our Office DVD's to pass the time until it comes back on the air. No substitute for us!

8. You need to update your blog!!!
