A rare day off

My kid's home with double pink eye today, and maybe tomorrow. But I have a sub assignment so I may send him off to school and roll the dice. We'll see how he looks in the morning. Having a "day off" gave me some time to catch up on some much needed housework, and homework. Juggling a family, classes and sub work can be demanding and stressful. Good thing I don't have any serious vices... except maybe chocolate. I did find some time today to start to working on outlines for our summaries. Hannah and I are working together this go round and I am looking forward it. I did have a class with her previously and was always impressed with the work she does and the way she carries herself. I am hoping to learn a thing or two from her.

I also spent some time working on another of my classes today ED D 569- Reading in the Content Area. It's another class I am really enjoying. What I really find cool is thinking about the ways that I can take what I learn in each class and meld them in my own way. I've already applied some of what i've learned in 511 to assignments that I am creating in 569. Good stuff.

I'm kinda bummed the Tigers aren't on tonight, but its one less distraction I guess. For those of you that don't know me well yet, I used to work for the Tigers. I spent four seasons in their corporate sales department. I've also worked for other professional sports teams, and associations, around the country. That's what I did for the last 12 years before I turned to teaching. There's alot more to that story. Perhaps I'll share some more tidbits down the road.
