I need an army of minions ...

I have decided today I need an army of minions.  What would they do?   Well, let me tell you!

I need one team at home to complete all the house work that I just can't get around to ... including house work, organizing the garage, craft projects I have started, running to the errands (more on this later), and tending to the yard/garden.  

Then I need one team at school.  I need a team to complete all the projects that I think up (but don't have time to create), the paperwork from the office, making posters, keeping up with the concept wall, keeping my desk cleared off .... (oh if only) .... the make-up assignments, the lab prep, the lab clean-up, creating/updating presentations and lessons, updating my website and social media for classes, contacting parents, and grading ... I can't forget the grading!

Wow.  I feel better just thinking of handing off these activities to someone else.

Okay, lets get back to that running errands.   I think that there is a huge market for service (and maybe money), for errand runners.  I would love to have the time and resources to coordinate students (high school and college) and house wives/stay at home moms to help others.  There are so many times where you can't or don't want to leave the house and need errands.  Whether it is because you are sick, have a sleeping baby, already have things on the stove, or you already put your pajama pants on ... there would be so many times I have thought "I wonder if the pizza boy would mind running by the store ..."

What would you need from my army of minions?

Friday Fun Day

Today is the one year anniversary of my mother's very unexpected death.  What a downer, right?  I found out at school and didn't want to be there today.  I took the day off for a doctor's appointment and made a day out of it with the boy, so that this day was completely different than this day a year ago.

We went to see BoxTrolls, complete with candy and popcorn.  Xman was really excited to try his first Mike and Ikes.   He sang about it all through Target, all the way to the car, and the entire ride from Target to the movies ...

 We went to four party/halloween stores to try to find a Green Lantern costume ... just to buy a "Speedo Batman" costume that was every store searched.  At the third store we asked for costume 103 -small, went back to pick it up and they had given us 003.  I asked again for 103 and the worker brought me 130.  Seriously?!  Hence, the fourth store.  

We bought two goldfish ... I mean orange fish.  Xman was so cute, talking to them all the way home and kissing the bag they were in ... and he named them "bomby-bomb" and "R."  

We got home in time to see Daddy, and then Chonte' came over.


Sometimes you are Superman and sometimes you are Doctor Doom.  Today was a pretty good day.

Day 11 on 12

Yesterday I did do my same old workout in my room during conference. I didn't add anything new, because I was thinking we would go back to the park or for a walk in the neighborhood once we got home. That didn't happen. Instead a went to dinner ... with my husband ... on a Friday night. This was a rare occasion indeed! Time well spent!
