physical therapy and curriculum maps... oh my!

Let's see... only two days... not too bad! Let's catch up.

Yesterday morning I took Elliott to the pool before his first nap. Usually he's not awake very long in the morning before his nap, so we don't usually do much. However, it was a successful outing and he was completely wiped out by the time he got back home, took a bath, and finally got to take a nap. He slept until it was time for his physical therapy appointment, which I had really high hopes for. Unfortunately, Ms. Beth was not as thrilled as the rest of us with his progress. She's pretty sure that he needs braces on his feet/ankles to help him stand correctly instead of standing on the inside of his feet which he does when he actually stands. It was really discouraging. We'll get the perscription and more finalized information about the braces when we see her again next week.

Then, today Jeff took Elliott to the pool in the morning again while I went to the doctor. Nothing exciting for me, just a check-up. Jeff went to work after I got home and Elliott and I didn't leave the house again... it was a gorgeous day outside, but just to flippin' hot to enjoy the sunshine. :-( So, I spent most of the afternoon/evening working on and off on school stuff. Since I'm the team leader for third grade next year, I'm making a curriculum calendar of all the subjects to help the team with planning. It's not fun... looking at the county mandated curriculum maps for each subject and trying to sync them up onto an actual calendar. But, I'm almost done and there will be lots of grateful people when I share it. I'm also being an overachiever and creating power points to go with each of the reading vocabulary for each story. I started making/sharing them during the second half of last year, so now I'm working on the first half. Five down, ten to go (I think).

Tomorrow night our friends Eric and Ivana (who just got married on Saturday!) are coming over for dinner. I'm really looking forward to it, but it leaves me with lots of cleaning to do during the day. Joy! Our only venture out of the house tomorrow while Jeff is at work might be to Publix for groceries.

On a side note... with all of my sitting around and working on the computer, I've managed to watch several movies in the last three days... Kentucky Fried Movie, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, a disc of Sex and the City, Sliding Doors, and Star Wars Episode III. Bet which you can't guess which two of those I watched with Jeffrey. ;-)
