Mobile update.

I'm mobile today so this will be brief:

1. Still didn't look at an Econ class.  I just put that in my to-dos for Wednesday.  I totally forgot about it, so this will keep that from happening again. 
2. I sent an email to Lisa, and she game me some good information about the program at UW.  It is a brutal commute, 2 hours each way (!). I thought it was 1 year, but it looks more like 2; the first year is classes with part time teaching and the 2nd year is full time student teaching.  That's a long time being away from my young kids for a lot of hours a day. But Washington's credential is accepted in more states than any other, so this would be the place to do it. *Sigh* I still need more information,  temporal and spiritual.  This is a very big and very difficult decision.  Also, a kind of expensive one, but that's something to worry about after a decision is made, not something to make the decision for me.  Still  I would be lying if I said I didn't look at costs.  Education is expensive, yo.  
3. I felt much better about running. I think the thing that made the biggest difference was actually how I ate at night.  I love ice cream. And Reese's Puffs. And Cinnamon Toast Crunch.  But eating that kind of junk at night makes me groggy in the morning.  So, I found other things to eat before bed and I felt better in the mornings. I still had to do my long run on a treadmill yesterday, but I felt better. I also watched West Side Story while I ran. Turns out Bernstein is kind of fun to run to.  Aaaaaand now you know what an incredibly big dork I am.
4. I did make time for my scriptures this week and it was really great.  I found some good stuff in the D&C that made me think about I how I approach the Gospel and General Conference.  I'd love to share more, but this keyboard is annoying so I'll do it later.
5. I finished Misquoting Jesus, which I enjoyed.  I started reading the Lightning Thief.  For what it is, it's pretty good, but I do kind of tire of the "misfit preteen discoving they have supernatural powers" thing.  But I like the Greek mythology angle.  Not sure if I'll read any more of the series though. 

So, for the week.

• Call/visit local schools to give them our lesson flyers.
• Continue reading scriptures in the mornings. Especially work on getting up at 6:00. If the kids are up before me than I have to wait until much later in the day. Part of this is going to bed on time.  I need a full 8 hours, which means 10:00 every night. And I like my quiet time after the kids are in bed. My husband is out of town too, and I have a really hard time going to bed when  he's not home.  
• Econ class. Pick one by Wednesday.
• Finish the Lightning Thief, start Outliers. Maybe some thing else too. Not sure yet.
• Do a 10 minute blitz with the kids every night at 7:15. Getting the house picked up makes for a more restful bedtime routine, and I have less to do after the kids are in bed. Also, it gives us something to do in the rough time between dinner and bath.
