I did all the things today. Weapon X had speech this morning. Then we went to various auto shops until we found someone who could fix my horn. Once that was done, we went back to the inspection place and passed this time. Then to the courthouse to renew the registration, which was due in January. All of this for a vehicle I hope to be rid of soon. Then we came home and ate lunch and I properly educated the children. There's more school I wanted to get done today, but I think we are all done. It can wait until tomorrow. Now I want to nap, but will probably clean or not nap instead.

Coffee. I don't want to pantz. Pantzing is for those other moms. I also want to cancel all the things and stay home, but we have places to go and people to see. I wish being a hermit was easier.

My printer is an HP. It was a Christmas gift from my parents a few years back. HP instant ink is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Turnaround is officially complete. It took several weeks longer than it was supposed to, and DH is exhausted and cranky. But it's done and he gets to go back to working normal hours and I get my husband back!

We completed history. This is a good start to the week. Now we have to complete all the other things. ETA: I need more coffee.

Don't take risks on treacherous roads!

That's what I guessed looking at the picture.

I thought Firefly was on Netflix. Did they take it off again? Because it was there a few months ago.

I slept like the dead last night. I somehow feel both groggy and well-rested. I have coffee.

I don't own a jean skirt. Actually the only denim I own is actual jeans. But at least I don't ever skip the book table.

I haven't had a booya in a while. No h.

*taking notes for my reading list*

I tell them, "go to your room."

I could (and often do) quote Firefly all day long. But, considering I call my kid Captain Mal, I doubt anyone is surprised to find out I'm a Firefly fan.

Our little girl puppy cries at night if you leave her alone. They are about 6 months old. But if you leave her brother in the room with her, she does fine all through the night. She is just scared to be alone.

Personality is such a weird thing, in both humans and animals. Our puppies have the same parents, are from the same litter, have always been in the same environment...yet they are SO different. Tweak is such a laid-back pup who lives for cuddles while Dashi is so energetic and curious and into everything. My boys are alike in so many ways, but they are very different too. It's just crazy to me how personality develops so...individually.

She is so sweet! I love her. Aaaah, I love puppies! By the way, I cancelled school today so I could shampoo the carpets. My whole house smells of puppies. We went to look at a new car for me yesterday. I really liked it, but we ultimately decided not to buy it. There was some stuff in it's history that the dealer neglected to mention. I dislike shady car salesman. Then when I woke up this morning, my car wouldn't start. It's just a dead battery and will be fine once I can jump it, but I really felt like the butt of some cosmic joke.

Previously, large trash bag sized. But this year, I'm using grocery bags instead.

For the past several years, I've done a declutter/purge during Lent. 40 bags in 40 days. I don't think I have enough clutter left this year, but I'm going to try.

My park buddy just called. Her kids have possibly been exposed to strep throat, and therefore are skipping park activities today. It's kind of ugly outside anyway. So we have speech and then the rest of the day free.

Oh my goodness...this...this is what I want for my birthday.

We Mondayed our way through all of our assignments. Now I get quiet time.

I think some of those should count as more than one thing. Like each language/skill should get its own entry.

We have resorted to bribery. Finish one assignment; get one Oreo. Make Momma want to pull her hair out- no cookie for you.

We don't do Valentine's here. Maybe a card or some cookies but no gifts. DH knows I would rather him make a fuss over my birthday in a couple weeks than some random holiday. This year he wants to buy me a new car that doesn't have some new problem every few months. I don't know if I will let him; it depends on the budget. I don't want another payment, so I will only agree if we can pay upfront.
