Gearing up

Today I am:
-trying to get things in order for our trip/time off this weekend.
-getting things ready for playgroup tomorrow. We are going to talk about letters, write a letter to ourselves, stamp it, mail it, and play a game. And, hopefully the wind won't be blowing and the park will be just warm enough. Not organized enough for story books- library is closed and I live in the boonies. I also organize playgroup, so I'm making sign-up sheets and theme ideas.
-going to make bread. In a bread machine, so no big deal. But yummy fresh wheat bread as part of dinner... And I don't like Ryan working afternoon shifts (from about 1:30pm until at least 11:30pm, often more like 2am) because I am home with the kids by myself all evening. But cooking dinner for the kids and myself is REALLY easy. PB sandwiches, mac n cheese, cereal- we are all happier. I don't have to try and cook in my micro-tiny kitchen, do dishes in my one tiny sink... and the kids eat what I make. I can't wait to have a real kitchen! I'm going to cook up a storm!
-going to get my primary stuff in order. The year is new and things have changed, so out with the old paperwork, and in with the new. I wish teachers could just stay put for a month or so- it seems like everything is always in limbo. I'm glad I'm not the president.
-going to play a game with my kids. Or something- I'm not sure yet. Too windy to go outside, and inside is rather small... I'll have to think about that one. Maybe a dance party? They seem to like those.
