It's been a week and it's only Thursday
My girls have school off tomorrow...so today kinda feels like Friday already even though I could really use another day...because, well...I'm tired.
last week put me just a "teensy" bit off on my editing...you know...just a little bit...I'm not hyperventilating...yet.
but, I am staying up until 1am every evening and feel as though my eyes have criss-crossed at least a hundred times in the past 24 hours...and I should probably google "what happens to your hand muscles when you sit at the computer too long?" at some point...just for academic purposes...
We also had a rough homework night the other night...
it centered around "math"...
This is a subject in which I actually have a Minor degree in...and believe it or not (although, yes, I do still count on my fingers...I just tell my sweet hubby to get over it...it is what it is) I got a 4.0 in every math class from elementary school through college.
This is only a direct correlation to my abillity to study and cry my way to an answer...it really has nothing to do with my understanding of anything mathematics...and therefore, after hours of watching Khan Academy videos, messaging my dad and putting pleas out on facebook, I finally had to give in and contact a teacher...
Slope intercepts and graphing perpendicular lines isn't exactly my forte'...either is adding numbers without using my fingers, but you already know that now...
With the other daughter's math homework (we had a twofer with math homework last night) it had to do with solving an equation, but not really having an equation...
I was taught that "old school way" to solve for the unknown variable of X ...apparantly they don't do that in 6th grade and so I had to determine a way to create a bar model that represented that unknown variable...
needless to say, we can now blame MATH for ALSO putting me a tad off on my editing as well...
Hurray though, because we did infact, figure it out...and to celebrate I had my 4th cup of coffee for the day...
this is what you do when you are staying up until 1am anyway...
I have family coming in town for a couple of days and I'm praying that the smell of bleach sitting in the guest toilet upstairs will mask the fact that I haven't actually cleaned my house since August...ummm: PHOTOGRAPHY...
I wish you all a happy weekend...and I will leave you with a "deep thought" as it pertains to the current state of my home:
