Class, Saturday, and Mother's Day

Class--I am done!
That is a little misleading as a teacher. I am still teaching classes this semester, but last week I finished the two classes that I was taking for grad school.

I ended out with a B in one class, and an A in the other.

Initially I was disappointed, it is the first B of my graduate career. Then I put it in perspective. I had pneumonia this year when school started, I was the Speech Team coach, I have a seven year old, I had papers to grade and lessons to plan, and the list goes on.

The only reason that I earned a B was because I worked a deal with the instructor to let me stay in the class and turn in the work I was behind on from having pneumonia instead of having to drop the class and retake it. It was a good move. My work was all A work, but I earned a B because she did take off some late points.

C'est la vie.

Sometimes I wish I wasn't such a damn perfectionist when it comes to grades.

Saturday
Emily got us tickets to the USHL National Playoff Game last night. We went to see the best hockey game I think I have seen. Now I know why she loves it so much. It was a great game. We left excited with sore throats and painted face...one guess who was painted.

Mother's Day
Today I spent Mother's day lazing around in bed. I was reading magazines, snoozing, cuddling with H.D., and didn't emerge from my bedroom (for more than a half an hour) until about 5 p.m.. It was AMAZING. I just relaxed.

Now I will have to make up for it this week by doing yard work and house work, and grading. :(
