Class canceled, earning points

February 23rd, 2010 at 10:36 pm

This morning I woke up to an inch of snow on the ground. Other areas south of us got several inches. School wasn't canceled, so I worked with my tutoring student.

When I got home I was tired due to not sleeping well (thanks to my tailbone) and was also feeling frustrated at how the tutoring student seems to be trying to sabotage himself. He got a passing grade on his last two quizzes and test - so now he wants to cut our biology study time in half (other half on English). Everyone here who works with him thinks it's a bad idea. But his parents in Korea have agreed to it. So unless he starts understanding it lots better on his own, this last test where he made a 79, may be his highest grade. Ugh.

Anyway. I decided to take a nap. Of course I'd barely laid down when my dad called me to rub in that he was out in barefeet picking oranges. Smile Then I got a call from my ASL teacher telling me class was canceled tonight due to possible ice on the road. Frown Frown

So finally I took my nap. When I got up I talked to my stepdad. Apparantally my mom thinks I've been leaving my dishes in the sink and oatmeal on the counter. Well, the dish in question is actually a pot. I don't use a pot to make my oatmeal. The oatmeal on the counter is a namebrand. My oatmeal is not - plus I keep my scoop in it. Rolleyes I told him no big deal, that I'd put her stuff away if I see it left out. He said he'll talk to her about it.

Seriously, I could care less. It's just slightly annoying to have it assumed that the stuff is mine when I've tried to be ultra concious about putting things away after myself.

In other news (actual financial) I haven't eaten out since Thursday! I'm starting to earn points for the challenge a bit late, but better late than never, right? Smile

Oh, class being canceled tonight means that I'll probably only have one more tank of gas for Feb. That'll mean I'll come in under gas budget this month! Which is good, because last month I went over.

    Hubby was supposed to go out of town today but the area he was going to travel through was getting snow, too! Stay safe on the roads! Gosh, if we get some here it'll be twice in one year. We usually don't get snow twice in a decade. Of course, I don't think the first time would qualify as snow to me. It just spit a few flakes here last time.

    Ah, a nap sounds good! Wink Geeze, touchy with the dishes.... ugh, that problem just FOLLOWS you! Did you keep all the styrofoam stuff you bought at the old place?

    Thanks Jan. Some parts of Texas have had their snowfall record broken with this last storm.

    Boo, Yeah, it does seem to keep pestering me. I did keep all the paper products ... but I'm going to keep doing what I've been doing (i.e. picking up after myself!) and putting away mom's stuff when she leaves it out. A few extra steps to save drama is worth it.
