Crazy Hectic Week

I keep thinking I should write on my blog...but I just have a crazy schedule that I think is probably NOT interesting to anyone. Monday and Tuesday I spent all day at Estrella Vista Elementary School reading to every class in the school (K through 8). It was great. I read some really fun and interesting books. I ask the teachers to provide the book so it fits their curriculum. Then Tuesday after school, I went to the School District office for updated photos. Our photos hanging at all the schools were really old and the board members have changed. So that was fun! Then on to a special Board meeting that ran from 4:30 to 9:00 pm. I was so tired by the time I got home.

Then Wednesday I went to my CES class. Yes, this is the same class I went to when I was teaching Seminary. But I want to continue learning about the New Testament! The last three Wednesdays we have been studying ACTS and learning about Paul. I learned a lot that I never knew or it didn't register before. He was an amazing guy. Reminds me of Alma the Younger! I think it would be cool to meet him! I was home for a couple of hours (tried to nap...but couldn't...brain just to busy!!!) and then Curtis and I had a quick dinner.

Then off to our City Board we serve on. It used to be called the Waste Water Advisory Board for the City of Avondale. City Council changed the name and added more members to the board. It is now called the Environmental Affairs Commission. This seems like a much better "Agenda" type meeting than the old one. I think it will be fun and interesting to give in put to the City Council and Mayor for our town.

Today...I am doing what I do on every Thursday. Clean house. Do laundry. Iron. YES I still iron. I do not like my husband looking wrinkled at church! or anywhere! I have also been learning (with Curtis) how to sell Stock options. So I did my first trades today. A Bit scary. But mission accomplished. Now we will see how we fare.

I am now off to make "Amish Friendship Bread". One of my seminary students gave me this at the end of last year. It is wonderful! I found the recipe on line and am making the entire batch...then I can freeze the loaves to give away or serve later. I have a crock pot of white beans and ham hock with bone cooking. It is making the house smell great! Making me hungry.

So...not a very interesting life. Just busy. Keeps me out of trouble.
