...and I survived it in pretty good shape! The house is a bit worse-for-neglect...but our underdrawers are clean and the sink is empty...so it could be worse! Tonight is the big (HA!) home opener football game...including fireworks (here in our 'burb...not at my school) I'm "band parenting," so I have to hang for the whole game. DD11.5 is spending the night at a friend's and DH will stop in Cleveland to visit MIL and depending on how that goes: may-or-may-not make it to the ball game. It's all about half-time anyway! I think my parents are coming up for the game (the band) too.

We're taking a quick 2.5 day trip to an old-fashioned amusement park in Pennsylvania this week-end. We'll visit MIL in the morning...the drive over from there. We'll be home on Monday evening.

Lesson plans, activities, and copys are all ready for next week and I'm working on the week after that! In nutrition class I'll be giving a safety quiz and their first "big" test that week. After that...we're in the kitchens! Yeeee Haw!

I've just registered DD16 (and DH and I) for the College of Engineering Open House at the University of Akron. That's the end of the month.

... I bought my 2007 monthly calendar for my planner the other day, too.

I must hop up and change out of MY school colors and into "OUR" school colors. I guess I'll have to hide my bright orange toenails! (Our (local) school is blue-and-gold while MY school is orange-and-black!)...because one more thing to complicate life is always fun!

Love to all!

Blessings,
Lenora
