Tonight I finally got to see the movie, "Spanglish." I'd wanted to see it when it first came out, but decided to wait till it was in the dollar theatre. It's been in the dollar theatre for awhile, but other things kept coming up. So, today was $.50 Tuesday and since NYPD Blue isn't on anymore, I could go to the late showing (7pm). It was a really good movie, heartwarming and funny. Can't say that about too many movies with Adam Sandler in them. Hee! I do have to say there were parts of it that I was really really glad I wasn't watching it with my dad or my mom.

Today was actually day 2 in a row of not very bad days at school. The Penny System actually seems to be working - even with my nutty little MR. "M". I actually had my aide today when I was supposed to, so that was VERY nice. After school I took about an hour or so and graded papers. I still have about 4 inches to go. Ugh!

After school I called 'M"s mom to tell her that her son had had two fairly decent days. At first I didn't get ahold of her, I got her voicemail. While I was in the movie she called me back. When I returned her phone call, she sounded like she was dreading hearing what I was going to say. It was so funny, after I told her that I was calling with a good report, in the background I could hear my little munchkin shouting, "Yay!" What a nut.

In the mail today I got some DVD's I'd ordered. "The Fugitive" for my dad - Father's Day; "The Notebook" for my Mom - (Mother's Day) and for me -- "The Princess Bride". I was able to get all of them for a pretty good price. "Princess Bride" is probably one of my all time favorite movies. "As you wish . .. . "

Hopefully tonight will be the last night I have to give Monkey his medicine. Tomorrow after school (and staff meeting) I'll be taking him back to the vet for a checkup. I'm really tired of giving him the medicine, and I know he's tired of barely tolerating me giving it to him!

Ok, I want to do some reading before I go to bed. Last night I read the latest Reader's Digest. I have about two or three years worth of them that are unopened, but I do love reading them - just actual books usually come first. I get RD as a gift every year from my mom's sister and her husband. Gotta love free reading material.

My friend that I picked up from the airport gave me $10 today. So I kind of splurged a little bit and actually got refreshments at the movie which I usually NEVER do.

Spending Log:
Movie + Junkfood: ~7.xx
Taco Bell: $3.24 (I know, I know, I have all the fixings at home, but JUST didn't feel like making it!)
