- I did not contact any music teachers. My husband has the laptop and the file for our fliers, so it seemed silly to make contact when I would just have to put off actually going there. He gets back on Wednesday, so I should be able to go drop things off on Thursday or Friday.
- I have been getting up at 6:00, but I really stink at going to bed before 11:00. Part of this enjoying the quiet after the kids go to bed. Part of it is reading before I go to sleep. But most of it is that I don't like going to bed when my husband isn't home. Like, I just don't feel like going to bed. Sometimes not even tired. It's an odd thing, but from what I understand deployment insomnia is a fairly common thing for military spouses. Thank heavens this isn't a real deployment, just a trip.
- I did pick and sign up for n Econ class. It's through a system called Coursera, which I've heard good things about. I think I might have been a little hasty in actually signing up for a class, just because of some other things that may be coming down the pipe, but I don't want to base plans on the unknown so... Yeah.
- I finished both the Lightning Thief and Outliers. The Lightning Thief was fine for what it was. Definitely a hit for its target audience. Outliers was pretty good. There were somethings I think he didn't look at from all the possible angles, but it was still cool to thnk about things the way he presented them. I decided to finish up Harry Potter 4. I have a book waiting for me at the library called "Make it Stick" about how we learn and internalize learning. I'm excited to read it.
- We didn't blitz at all. The weather was soooo nice this week that I let the kids play outside right up until bath time. (Not that they were happy to come on when the time came.) But I don't think we have many nice weather, well lit evenings left so... We'll clean later. The mess got annoying, but like I said, the kids needed to play.
So, for the week coming
- Take fliers to local schools and get started looking for flute students.
- Send emails about getting teaching certificate. There is a lot more to tell about what I've learned about this, but it' stood much to tell about in a mobile-typed post.
- Read Make It Stick and read a chapter in Rough Stone Rolling.
- Get started on the blitz and make more of an effort to clean up messes as they happen.
A slow week. But not every week has to be a big one for progress to be made. :)
