It's Thursday of spring break. Did I accomplish any of my goals for the week?Cleaning/organizing progressed, but is not done.

I will get a hair cut tomorrow.

I made some progress on figuring out options for day care. I kind of felt like it was a little early to be worrying about it, since we won't acutally need it until November. Turns out some of these places have year long waiting lists though. I did go see a few places and talk to and e-mail a number of people, so at least I have an idea what's going on now.

Started figuring out what we need to do for the CTCAA. We were going to set up the bank account today, but we still need some paper work done first. We do have a start on recruiting paid members, though. We also have some idea for moving forward. I got the facebook page for the group put together. Not sure if that really amounts to much, but I felt like I accomplished something there.

Not really looking forward to having to start getting up early again next week, but I am ready to start making the final push in AP Bio. The test is the second Monday in May, so we only have a month left. Earlier in the year I told the class a "joke" about commitment:

The difference between being involved and being committed can be illustrated by an eggs and bacon breakfast. The chicken was involved, the pig was committed.

I should find out by the end of next week who the pigs and chickens are.

Spring break fun

Spring break is next week. Goals for the week, in no particular order:

*Get hair cut
*Check out day care options/costs
*Get stuff moving on the CTC alumni association. I was asked to be the interim president to help get everything set before we have elections in August.
*Finnish cleaning/organizing the computer room (including removing the old computer).
*Actually walk outside or on the treadmill most days of the week. I had been walking 20-30 min each day this winter, but the start of track has ended that, since I'm not really home that much.

Sounds like a thrilling week. Spring Break!! Woohoo! I will also devote significant time to sleeping and playing the Wii.

April 30 is the day the ultrasound is scheduled for, so we get to find out what it is. No, I don't want to be "surprised". I realize that there is tradition in finding out if the baby is a boy or a girl when it's born, but no one really wants to be surprised. It's either a boy or a girl...not a surprise. If you flip a coin and it comes up heads, you're not surprised. If it's tails, you're not surprised. If it lands on the edge, then you're surprised. When it comes to children, that's not a surprise you want.
