It has been a long day....

This morning Celeste and I taught a home-school Science class. Well,we did the experiments/labs anyway. I did the Bee Books and Celeste's group made the ant farm. I was under the impression that everyone would've read the lesson beforehand,and shown up with their supplies (like ANTS ) on time for the activities.

I managed to print out my menu/chore list/calendar for the rest of this month (thankfully) and tonight is soccer practice . Tuesday I don't seem to have anything planned in the
