Last week was really awful at our house. Todd was out of town for the week for work. Isaac wasn't very happy about that and took it out on me. And just for fun, I threw in a sinus infection. Yeah! To top things off, Todd's flight home on Friday morning was canceled. Luckily, he was able to get on the next flight and get home late that night.
This week, we are settling back into our routine, and things are going a lot more smoothly!

What the Friday??
I have been coming up with this idea for a couple of weeks now, so here it goes...I would like to start a new blog carnival...What the Friday?? It basically comes from the idea that at least once a week I hear/see something that makes me think "what the frick?" so I thought I could share some of those things with you. If you want to share yours, feel free....
So onto this week's What the Frick?
I heard on the radio this week that Indianapolis is pushing back its school start time on Monday morning by one hour. Apparantly in the past when the Colts have been in the Superbowl, the bus drivers all call in sick the morning after, so to try to deter this, the schools are actually going to open later. Really?? Like the bus drivers won't still be hungover then?
In New Orleans, school has been canceled altogether for Monday.
The radio announcers then went on to say that it would work out better if President's Day was moved to coincide with The Superbowl because then the schools would already be out for the day. Really, why not move the Superbowl by one week?

Jewelry
A couple of weeks ago, I was looking at the newsletter for a local clay place and noticed a class they were offering to make jewelry pieces. So I signed up. It was a lot of fun, we started with wet clay and used stamps to make texture and cookie cutters to cut out our pieces. Then they had to be cooked in the kiln. Then the next week we went back to glaze our pieces. It was so much fun and I am really happy with how mine turned out. Here they are:
Now I need to finish each off with beads and cord.

Brett Favre
Football opinions aside, I really admire someone who is willing to laugh at himself. Check out the latest Sears ads at http://sears.weeklyelectronicsdeals.com/1B4b547e6634daa012.cde

Weekend Update
We had a good weekend around here. On Friday, Stacy had to go to the vet for her shots, and we found out that she has gained more weight so she has been told to lose 5 lbs. Poor girl.
On Saturday, Todd worked in the family room, he finished the ceiling and lights. So we are all ready for carpet down there. I want to clean out the computer room first and get that recarpeted at the same time since it has really yucky carpet. On Saturday night, we attended the employee appreciation for Todd's work. He received his 10 years of service award. Way to go Todd!! We had a good time visiting with his coworkers, dancing and eating. Oh yeah, and a group of us snuck off to the bar to watch the Colts game. In the meantime, Isaac got to spend some time with his favorite babysitter ever.
On Sunday, we watched the Vikings beat up on the Cowboys. Go Vikes!!

A Crazy Week
Well it has been a crazy week in my world. I have started back to work substitute teaching and have been working 2 days a week so far. I could have had more days if I could somehow be at two schools at the same time. However I haven't figured that one out yet. I am really enjoying the teaching again. Isaac has been doing just wonderful with the whole change. I think that it really helps him that he has a fantastic lady to watch him while I am at work.
On Wednesday this week, I got a flat tire in the middle of my "errands" morning. Todd came to my rescue and I still managed to get most of my errands done. The tire was so flat that we had to order a new one. Also on Wednesday, my landline phone decided to quit working, but they were able to get that fixed by Thursday evening.
So I hope that will be all for my "bad luck" for a while.

Happy New Year
Christmas is done, and we took down the trees today. Isaac is happy to be able to run in the living room again. The tree took up too much space.
School starts tomorrow and I think Isaac is happy to be going back, but he has not complained at all about being home. He wasn't "bored" once. He slept in almost every day so getting up tomorrow morning may be a challenge.
I have set up my new years goals. I am going with a monthly goal system again this year. It makes it easier to actually accomplish some things. Each month I will write out 3-4 goals to accomplish for that month. Januarys include cleaning up my computer room, cleaning out the filing cabinet, and exercising at least three times each week. I am also going back to a gratitude journal this year.
The other 'new' in this year is that I will be going back to substitute teaching a couple days a week. I put my name on the list before Christmas break and already have a few days scheduled. So that should be fun.
