Good, Long Day

February 17th, 2012 at 04:23 am

Today we actually had school even though there still was quite a bit of snow still on the ground. Smile I only had my 4 year olds and first graders in the library. Mass was canceled so that teachers could use the time to get caught up on two days worth of missed classes (and I think the priest was sick.)

At breakfast the 6th grade teacher/science teacher asked me if I could I could help her out by finding print resources for about 20 kids' science fair projects. She'd gotten an email from the head person of the organization telling her that their resources (amongst other things) needed to be corrected by the end of today.) I said I'd be happy to help. I was able to find sources for most of the projects, but there were a few that I could not find anything at all on. I worked on it right up to 4:45 when I had to stop to get ready for the webinar.

The webinar was for Scho lastic in regards to the upcoming book fair. I earned $25 in Scho $ for participating. It lasted 95+ minutes. Ergh. I just kept reminding myself of the two or three books I'll be able to get ...

I ended up signing up for audible yesterday. I looked at all the various deals, and ended up going through SBs and doing the $7.49/mo for 3 months deal. I bought the newest Nevada Barr book (Anna Pigeon series) for my first month, and will buy #17 and #18 of Stephanie Plum with the next two months. Then the cost goes up to $14.95 and I won't be willing to spend that much of my entertainment money on an audio book, so will probably cancel. I'm about 3/4 through with the Nevada Barr book - loving it. Big Grin

My mom called me yesterday shortly after I wrote about being so bored. That kind of helped to break the boredom (sort of - that + listening to my new book.) I told my mom about my idea of visiting dad this summer and her over Christmas - she *really* liked that idea ... I haven't brought it up to my dad yet because every time I talk to him he either has Grandma with him or his good friend Sweetie Petey.

I was so tired and hungry tonight that I gave in and stopped at the sandwich shop/gas station tonight. I bought a foot long sub and two cookies (will be supper tomorrow night too.) $8.10 I need to record what I've spent on food between today and Tuesday so I have an accurate amount for this weekend when I do my final February grocery trip. I'll probably use my Sizzler gift card to eat before or after the movie (which I'll be using the Valentine's money from my mom for - partly anyway.)

I'm *very* close to cashout on Beezag, Irazoo, MyPoints and Swagbucks.

    a 95 minute Webinar sounds like pure torture to me. Ugh. You're a patient soul, Laura

    It would have been better if I'd already have been home sitting in my comfy chair with my feet up and Kari on my lap. Sitting on a stool having to stay close to the monitor to keep the phone to my ear ... double Ergh!!

    We have had the worst winter in ages here in SE Europe, and it has not yet lead to one day off even with dangerous temperatures and snowfall. People here just usually can't afford to take ANY days off of work, and they have to have the kids at school, so they stay open to offer insurance of child care for the working parents. We decided on more than one occasion that it was just too dangerous to take our oldest to school at all, and called her in sick.
