What a week its been

I have been working non stop at preping for my first class, Which is Tuesday Oct 3rd( yes, in 2 days) I have made templates, Cut 12 months to size, cut ribbon All for 15 people! it has been alot of work, and I am hoping it pays off in the end with a smooth successful class, The fact that it is SOLD OUT ( yes, you read that right) means that there wont be alot of wiggle room, so I hope all my preping and pre-planning works out for me and the students. I know most of the people in the class, All are customers, Some very regulars, two friends, so I feel good with who I have and I dont plan on being nervous!
But, I am sick, I have had a sinus cold since Friday, I cant tell if its getting better, or worse, I tried to rest as much as I could today, but that just didnt work out too well. I need to still do some things , but I plan on stopping all work at 9 pm and sit down in front of the TV and chill out for the rest of the night.
I had to ground Brett and Jake tonight, There is the standing rule that you need to be home from friends house's by 6pm on a school night, They were out together at Bretts Friends house, and waltzed in the door at 6:35, By 6:15 they were already grounded in my mind. When I asked them what time they should have been home, they DIDNT KNOW... Hello.. same time for the last 3 years... I told them it was rude of them to walk thru the door whenever they pleased, and not even calling me, Making me worry about them, I dont ask alot of them, But I do ask that they come home on time, and to let me know where they are... maybe now they will remember.

Sam on Friday after School
Sam: we beat the girls today
Me: doing what Sam?
Sam: Peeing and washing our hands....


LOL, And you always will Sam.

LMAO at Sam! How darling, but oh so typical of that age. I miss working with them.
Hang tough on those older ones. That was my pet peeve too. Missing curfew and not calling. Since we live close to a Fire Station I would panic when they were late and I would hear that siren.
Good luck on the class!

Congratulations on the sold out class! That is awesome! All of your prep will be greatly appreciated by your students. It makes the class go much more smoothly and your students feel less rushed if everything is pre-cut and measured.

As for the cold: OJ and Chicken Soup. Oh and let's not forget the Aleve Cold & Sinus. I can't recommend that stuff highly enough. Best cold medicine ever.
