Finishing it up

I have to clean and empty much of the house for the birthday party this weekend. Any thing that I am not working on (and the list is getting shorter and shorter) must be moved to the guest bedroom. The sooner I move the computer, the better :-). So no guests allowed for the week, 'K? We'd love to see you on or after Monday the 27th. :-)

I may have to tape the drawers of the sewing/knitting storage unit to transport it without making a mess.

Our newly six-year-old daughter is actually pretty happy today. Her name will be read over the loudspeaker. My parents are bringing over her gift today.

The leaves falling look like snow. They are coming down thickly.

Slowly

I am slowly seeing an improvement in so many things.

Emily's reading. The sight words method works better for her than phonetics (or phonics).

The house. I am digging into old boxes from our last dump-it-in-a-box and put it out of sight cleaning. Although, just a few days and I'll have to dump my current mess in a box.

T's schedule. I am steadily seeing more of him and he is more relaxed when I do see him. I don't know if that is a trend or just a small break.

My Spanish. Well, I am certainly putting in the hours. I made very few (but a few) errors on the homework. Although, it was definitely more than three hours of homework, and I only did about 1 hour (or an hour and a half) of it.
