Another quick one

Again, I'm on mobile, so this will be super brief:


  1. 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.
  2. 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.  
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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. :)
