A Normal Week

This morning was a great morning, and like I always say, I hope that they keep it up.  I love mornings where things just go like they should.  Don't we all.
This is a normal school week, so out at 2 today and 3 the rest of the week.  I am really looking forward to it, I know that it will be a great week for the boys, and even for me at ASC.  It will probably seem too fast though.
The boys did have a great day and finally they had some homework to go along with it.  Seriously back to normal.  One of the best things about ASC is the homework room.  It gives all of the students a chance to do their homework which is great.  I am hoping to be able to read tothe little guys and gals so that they can mark that off of their assignment pads too.  I love to read to my boys, but I know that there are a lot of parents who do not have the time and so this would help them and their kids too, and that is always great. 
We came home and mom had dinner ready, which again was so nice.  I love the fact that I am not having to stress over dinner.  I also love the fact that not every meal is from the crock pot.  While I love a good crock pot meal, especially in the winter, I do not love every meal from them. 
We took the boys to swim for about 45 minutes.  They were shocked that we were not getting in but seriously it was too cold!!!!  They had fun though and that is what matters most to me.  Hopefully we can go several more times before it is closed.

Back to the Grind

Everyone was back to work and school today. It is always nice when we have some time together, but routine is what works best for us. As I am sure that it does everyone.
Our alarms did not go off, but the thunder at 6:10 this morning did the job quite nicely. While it is later than we like to sleep it was not too late.
I got ready and got the boys up while they got ready I fixed breakfast and Brandon headed out. While the boys were eating I got dinner in the crock pot. Roast and potatoes. Because both boys have basketball it is easiest to do crock pot meals on Tuesday nights.
I came home and managed to get three loads of laundry done. Danny's bedding changed from Christmas to Auburn, which made him happy. Now just two more beds to go. I was able to knock out some homework and got some photograph's edited. The time went by quickly and before I knew it I was heading out to get the boys. Then it was time for homework.
John Michael ended up with a yellow face, which meant extra homework that I make him do. He has to write an apology to his teacher. Tomorrow will be better. I am a little sad that we have this string of yellows that keep appearing. We will just keep working on it, I know that he can do it and will keep encouraging green and discouraging anything else.
Both boys had practice tonight and it came a serious downpour while we were there. It was pretty much done when we left but it made the ride home a little scarier than what I like. It was pretty bad but we made it safely.
Well, bedtime is here and I am glad. It has been a long day and I am beat. I hope that everyone has a great night. Do not forget a jacket tomorrow it is going to be cold.
