Day Four...

Tuesday didn't go so well for me. I tried to make the best of it, but the odds were stacked. The router still isn't here. This makes 14 days that I've been sharing my computer with everyone in the house because we don't have a router. That makes me very crabby! The girls each have about 4-5 hours of school work to do. My youngest starts around 8am, switches off with the oldest if there is a live lesson, and tries to get done by noon. Then the oldest starts, and hopefully is finished by 4. I can do nothing on the computer in the meantime.

Spanish has been a little difficult for my oldest. It's an elective, and she's wanted to learn Spanish for as long as I can remember. Her first two grades were A's...the last 3 or 4 have been F's. Spanish is different than her other classes, as there's no active teacher doing lessons for it. It's all computer based, with not even a book. She wants to drop the course, so I contacted her intervention teacher to ask that she be dropped from Spanish. The intervention teacher found the teacher in charge of Spanish--as we had no idea there was one, and asked if we'd like to work with her on it. The answer was a resounding "no", and I told her to just drop the class. This morning, I check school email, and have a note from said Spanish teacher stating she's reset the assignments that were F's, so that they can be tried again. *sigh* That means even more work, as we have at least 3 to redo, and then 2 from this week that she didn't do because we wanted to drop the course. The semester ends Thursday. Not a lot of time to get it done in!

Then there's me...my car is dead. If I haven't stressed before how much I hate walking up and down the hill, let me say it again--I HATE WALKING UP AND DOWN THE HILL! It's too cold for the snow to melt, and I am not physically able to shovel it. Hubby didn't do it last week before he went to drill, and has no time this week to get to it. I've been holding out for warmer temperatures. Tomorrow we'll jump from low 30's to low 40's. It will then start to melt.

Anyway, the snow isn't even the point right now. I did walk down the hill yesterday...I needed to get the mail. So I bundled up, walked down, got in the car, and nothing. The battery was dead. I had to walk right back up. Called hubby, who left work early to get a new battery. Except, he didn't get a new battery. He came home about an hour early, jumped it, and said it was fine.

I have a dentist appointment today, and the girls and I have glasses and contacts ready at the eye doctor that need picked up, so he was going to take the car, and leave his truck here for me to take...just in case. When he went to work this morning, the car wouldn't start. I told him to just take the truck, and I'll reschedule my appointment--again. It was originally supposed to be last Thursday, but we got a huge snowstorm. He's supposed to bring home a battery today. I wonder if he will?

It's too cold to walk to the post office, so I guess our movies will just sit there until someone can get them. We renewed our Netflix this week, and I was looking forward to watching my movies!

I have a project going on, that will hopefully someday bring in some extra cash...since my job isn't working out. But sharing the computer with the kids is making it difficult. I was up until 1 am trying to work on it, and that's also why I got up at 6 am this morning. It's now 7, and I've accomplished nothing! I'll have to turn the computer over in about an hour, and likely won't have time to work until after hubby falls asleep tonight. Guess I should have just stayed asleep.

Wonder if tomorrow will be any better? It's not looking real good for today.
