Weekend Whatnots

I have had some rather productive weekends lately. I officially "gutted" the entire ensuite bathroom and think that Clint will be shocked let alone highly impressed. The only item remaining on the top of the toilet now is a box of Kleenex. If you had seen the overflowing basket of products, puffs, makeup and general CRAP that was there before you'd be impressed too.

I dug into the cupboards too and tossed all the junk I could find and organized everything left. It feels like a whole new space. (Although I do realize I should toss a few more clothing articles, but let's give credit where credit is due) ;)

The floors have all been vacuumed and mopped, in that order. There is not a piece of laundry to be washed and the only dish to be washed is the pan I just took the hot cinnamon rolls off of.

I also attempted to locate the plug & pedal for my keyboard this weekend, but failed miserably. That is a mystery for Sherlock Holmes I think. It has not been seen since we made the move to the house 15 months ago. I might just have to suck it up and buy a new one. Ugh! And then I'm sure I will promptly find the old one, as that is how the story usually goes.

I sat down and planned my lessons for the week - well at least the anticipated lessons... with my kids I tend to have to "go with the flow" a little more than some. Dealing with lots of energy in grade one and two of the three classes have aids, and the third should too. They're taking a lot of my energy but I'm dealing. Ask me again in two months.

The last of my weekend mission is to write up a proposal to our parent council to purchase some new Flip Form risers for my classroom. They are multi-purpose so I need to phrase the proposal as "stage risers" and go from there. I think I'm going to hit the H1N1 angle and stress the fact that they're polyurethane or something like that and not carpeted like the current ones I have. That should seal the deal.

Oh, and I told myself that I would have my Christmas concert musicals picked out and ordered by the 15th, so I guess that will be the rest of my days mission. I have a few in mind but am a little stuck with which will apply for what grades. If I haven't told you before, like planning a Christmas Concert isn't huge enough as it is, I need to plan 3! My school is big and we can't accommodate all our families in the gym at once so ... we have a K & 1 , 2 & 3 and a 4,5, 6 concert separately. And when I say concert, I mean Musical production. Awesome, I know. Guess I should go get on that.
