I'm home today enjoying my last day of peace for the week. Carson and Andrew, my nephew, are playing relatively quietly, which gives me a chance to print my hotel information and hopefuly catch up on my internet favorites while I catch up on the laundry and decide what to pack for my trip to Jefferson City tomorrow. I'm looking forward to a night at the hotel by myself to do some scrapping and enjoy some quiet.
Thursday is my quarterly state Inclusion Specialist's meeting, whcih means I'll probably not be home until 6 or 7 on Thursday. I somehow managed to totally screw myself out of reduced Spring Break hours this week by scheduling late meetings and a Saturday training this week. Figures.
I plan on stopping by Marshall's and the big Barnes and Noble in Jeff City tomorrow night to shop for baby and wedding gifts. We've gone a few years without wedding or baby showers and suddenly I have three wedding and two baby showers to attend within the next month. I'm thrilled to get to shop for some pink frilly things since both cousins are expecting girls. I always try to get a book for each new baby too, so Barnes and Noble couldn't be more convenietly located right next to Marshalls.
Friday will be half day at work and then an appointment to eval a child in St Gen that afternoon. This may warrant a side trip to the St Gen scrapbook store!
Saturday I will be conducting a 6 hour training on how to include kids with special needs in regular child care programs. It's a ton of work, especially considering that only 3 people have signed up so far!!! It's harder to work with such a small group since they easily tire of answering every question. We'll see how it goes.
Sunday I am hoping to chill out and do nothing. I think it will be well deserved. Have a great week!

A brand new week
Thank goodness a new week is here. With my inlaws out of town last week, things went south in a handbasket very quickly. The week started ok, but by Wednesday afternoon I wasn't feeling too well and after Ash Wednesday service in the evening, I had the full blown flu. The whole "sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy head, fever" flu. It was worse on Thursday, which is the only day I didn't have a sitter lined up. Carson was very good given that he had to stay inside with me and be quiet all day. Friday was my class field trip to St. Louis Children's Hospital and the St Louis Teacher's Recyle Center. All went well, with every student showing up on time and behaving relativelty professionally (other than our office practicum student who had boyfriend drama and showed off her large low back tattoo every time she bent over. Nice.) I felt well enough to scrapbbok Friday night and threw a fabulous shower for my friend on Saturday. I was very diappointed that only 12 of the 30 people on the guest list showed up, but she still had a good time.
Yesterday was church and small group study in the morning. At 1:00, I made the monumental return trip to the gym that I have been postponing for the last 5 months!!!! I actually felt terrific after my workout, even though I was so congested I could barely breathe. My friend, Lisa, met me at the gym and she is now a huge motivation for me to get back on track. She looks great!
Today I'm working in Oran and then at the office this afternoon. I have a hair appointment tomorrow, a few scattered appointments the rest of the week and I leave to present at the Conference on the Young Years Friday. I'll return Saturday evening.
I'm off to start the day!
