The Day Has Come

I'm so excited! It's finally here! I've waited for this day longer than I thought I could make but here we are! Rusty Bucket has finally brought back it's daily specials and Tuesday's feature is their taco salad!!! Guess what's for dinner tonight!? In reality, it started last week but Jim was out of town so I couldn't partake. But tonight! Tonight I'm going to satisfy an itch that has been driving me crazy for weeks, nay years! I wish that it was permanently on the menu but alas, you can't have everything. They've also brought back their "Italian Torpedo Sandwich" which is Jim's fave. However that's on Thursdays. I told Jim we can switch off but of course, I go first! Can't wait. 

In other news, Jim's a lazy ass. Oh, wait! That isn't news. Goldang I'm funny! He's still in bed. He says it's because he can't get into the building where he's working until 8:00. Of course he didn't tell me that  last night so his coffee is cold. Dummy. 

Did I mention that I made French cakes and took my ladies some? I delivered them with a caveat: They probably weren't very good. I didn't have a full teaspoon of almond extract; instead I added a bit more vanilla. Mid-way through 1st bell Carrie sent me a text saying, "I dare say these waffles are the BEST yet!" Hmm...I'll have to do another batch with the correct amounts of extracts and see what they think. I mean, they're still delicious but I really like that hint of almond. 

My IEP meeting went well yesterday. I think I was done with my part in 10 minutes and then we had to wait around because the speech path was late. When she walked in I said, "I finished up so you just need to go through your part." She was all like, "Oh, jeez...sorry." I didn't mean to make her feel bad, it's just I don't like to waste time. And as per usual, the mother and daughter were super weird. They sat next to each other and literally kept pawing each other. The daughter would grab her mothers hand and then the mother would sort of pet the daughters arm. I mean, what the what!? So weird. 

Yesterday my students finished up their final reading comprehension and writing work in my ELA classes which means I'm busy, busy, busy, getting all the data formulated and sent off to the other sped teachers. I can now work on my progress reports for those kids with reading/writing goals. Bam! So ready for winter break.

Oh, Jim's surgery is set for February 16th, which is President's Day and I'm already off. At first I was annoyed by this but then realized A) I'll only need to take off Tuesday now and B) that Friday is an in-service. 

Okay best get a move on. It's colder than a day old dumpling so I need to bundle up before heading out. Happy Tuesday! Later
