Dancing With A Full Deck: December 2009

I have spent the last month freaking driving my kids all over the place and trying to remember pre calculus from like 20 years ago for my favorite students who keep talking me into teaching their upper level classes. The students seem to think that I am also going to teach their discrete math class next year. I just might be stupid enough to ask for it at work for them.

My oldest is on the high school swim team which over the holiday break has meant 2 to 3 practices a day which means me driving back and forth all day picking and dropping him off. Plus, his younger brother to a once a day swim practice. ALSO the usual other things that they are into like music lessons for their sax and guitar that both boys love. AND don't forget the usual holiday BS like baking cookies and big meals.

I totally understand why there are very few bloggers with teenage kids. The oldest will be driving in another year and a half. I plan to try to find a driving school for him to start on the very first day that he turns 16!!!

THEN THE JOKER POSTS A DORA THE EXPLORER CLIP ON MY LAME BLOG!!! Very funny!!!

....I saw avatar. IT SUCKED!!! Absolutely no plot. You totally know exactly how the movie will be ending - no surprises. It is kinda dances with wolves in 3d disney techno color.

...the ending of Dexter for the season flipping rocked!! I will not give it away. It took me a few days to decide it was a good way to end the season. Very unpredictable ending.

And the big plus side!!!! The oldest is going away for a week to Orlando with his high school band. I am probably more excited by his trip than him. Very fun! Anyone else want my kids for a week or two???

Otin strongly encouraged an update from me. :-) I hope you enjoyed my boring over scheduled life update.
