He also watched Finding Nemo (twice) and sniffling. He's missed 11 days of school already this year and will be missing at least two more for specialist appointments. Next year when he starts kindergarten this will be problematic. After 10 days, the schools have to start informing you about the absences. Luckily, we can easily get doctor's notes about his absences. I just wish we didn't have to worry about these things. Don't worry about him, though. He's still his energetic little self.I spent the morning finishing up my lecture for class tomorrow and knitting a sock. The yarn has aloe vera in it and I'm just hoping that it helps soothe my poor dry winter skin.
M has choir practice tonight and outdoor soccer practice starts tomorrow! Yes, spring is here. We have dandelions in the front yard, tulips and day lilies popping up, and B is probably going to need to mow in a week or so.
Next week is spring break for me. Only 27 hours until I am finished with my duties and can mostly ignore students and the college for one entire week. I will be taking a course to learn how to teach online (teaching from home in my pjs sounds pretty good to me) but otherwise, I am going to do as little as possible. I'm not going to clean the house. I'm not going to run errands the entire week. I'm going to do fun things, like ride my bike.
Now it's only 26 hours and 59 minutes.

Today is day four of my spring break. I know how fun it is not to have to do anything. I've been spending my time watching sports all day. It's been too miserable outside to do anything out there, and I still have yet to get my bike fixed (I haven't ridden it in 7 years). Enjoy your spring break as much I have.
Welcome to spring break!
I still have 1 hour and 45 minutes before I'm done with tutoring.
Not that I expect anyone to come.
Hi, Kate-- If you ever do get involved in online teaching, you should investigate setting up a wiki. They are very cool for long-distance collaboration, and can be set up with various security & permissions features. And are easy to use, too.

That's an idea. I'll definitely look into that. Thanks!
There are several places that I could teach online. They pay less than where I am but I wouldn't need to pay for gas or a wardrobe. There are lots of pluses to teaching on line.
I know what you mean about absences. Charlie misses a lot of school as well due to illnesses and dr. appts. I hope L is feeling better.
