Mt. Pleasant Classical Academy

And I’m not being negative, just stating facts. Really! Maybe after posting this you’ll understand why I haven’t been posting, just been raining here allot.Sunday at in-line speed skating practice ScienceKid touched his glasses and the frame snapped. hmm, something to add onto our lengthy to-do list for the coming week.

Since these are the days before MilitaryKid’s Science Olympiad State competition this Saturday we are doing SO every evening for the past weeks. This week we only were over at the public school on Monday and Wednesday from 3 until 10pm. Imagine what the house looks like when Mom is away every evening for 9 hours. I know, we were only gone for 7 hours but the PS we use is 40 minutes from our house, which means we’ve been using lots of gas too. Tuesday evening was no exception to doing SO but we worked on rebuilding his balloon launch glider launcher, handing tape over to MilitaryKid as he built a water-proof bottle rocket since it is supposed to be raining for real here on Saturday, and doing school. I think we are finally set for Saturday.

Oh, and sometime on Wednesday we got SK’s new glasses, or rather his lenses set into a new set of frames thanks to the opticians willingness to hand-grind them down so they would fit. Thank you very much for saving me $150.

This morning I decided to sleep a bit late, skip going to the Y for my hour work-out and jumped into the shower. The water was cold. Yes, the water heater finally broke—YES!!! — but why did it have to happen this week? Why did it have to happen while DH is off on a business trip? Why during my shower? I hate cold showers.

So I need to head out and order a new hot water heater. We are going with a tankless hot water tank, and stopping by to pick-up boxes. Yes boxes. DH needs the kitchen emptied. You know what that means. The kitchen cabinets are almost ready to be moved into the house. I’m jumping for joy! (please remind me of this when I am knee-deep in dust and dirt and have no hot water to wash dishes in. Oh, yea, I have no hot water right now. I don’t have time for this. Really, do. not.

See, not negative. Just the facts. Gotta go and run now. Errands that is.
