Promoted or Demoted?

So I got a call today that I might actually be going up to 8th grade math instead of going back to 6th grade math. Being me, I told them that wherever they needed me the most was fine by me. 8th grade math is hard but not impossible. I have my work cut out for me in preparing but at the same time the beginning of the year would be a review of 7th grade stuff (which I just finished teaching - successfully). We'll have to wait and see what the principal decides.

Today was a productive day. My one complaint of the day would have to be my dinner. I've had this recipe for Mexican Meatloaf that I've wanted to try for quite some time. During my last trip to the grocery store I gathered all the ingredients to make it. It's a Crock Pot meal so it was made at 10:00 this morning. Little did I realize how smelly this Mexican recipe was going to make my ENTIRE house. Let's just say after smelling it most of the day I was not really wanting to taste it at dinner time. I did eat some of it, but I think I overcooked it because I had to crunch my way through the outside layers to get to the good stuff. It was good and a little less cook time would have made it better. The even more "exciting" part is that I now have 7/8 of a meatloaf left and no real desire to eat it. Maybe if I drown it in some gravy it will be better tomorrow.

I took advantage of the BEAUTIFUL North Carolina weather. I don't think we broke 80 today, so naturally I did my outdoor chores today. I played some Nintendo in between, but I tried to limit myself somewhat. My big trip out of the house today was to the library. I forgot what a wonderful place the public library is. I found some books for a secret project I'm working on and checked out some just for fun books too. Is it bad that I found more books to read in the children's section then in the adult section? Well I'm going to go start reading into the night...the book of the night is Artemis Fowl - The Lost Colony.

(which I will add to my collection in paperback)
