12 or 12 - November 2010

Unfortunately, today started with waking up several times throughout the night reaching for cough drops.  So, sadly, it was appropriate that the cough drops be the first picture on the 12 of 12.


At school today, in class, we started the Hangman project.  Hangman is not at all a simple project, especially for introductory students.  They seem to be doing quite well on it though!


One of the projects that I got to see some finality to today was this laptop.  The hard drive was not connecting to the mother board properly.  I got to return this one 3 different times before it was repaired correctly.  Today, it seems to be working.


Another project that I got to do today was related to a smart board.  Unfortunately, while the custodial staff was cleaning this particular room, they felt it was necessary to unplug absolutely everything.  It took about 2 hours to get everything reconnected and working properly again.


At the end of the school day, I went into the office and found that the intercomm system was beeping.  They had tried everything to get it to stop.  Eventually, I got to walk to the south building and unplug the intercomm system completely.  That got it to stop.  There's got to be a better solution somewhere.


Another fun moment of my school day was setting up a web site for the upcoming MDA Jail fundraiser coming up.  December 9th, I'm going to an Applebee's Jail unless I raise $1500 bail for MDA.  It should be fun, but the start of this process has been pretty annoying.


Alex and Mom read The King of Pizza today.  It, of course, has a recipe for pizza in the back.  So guess what we had for dinner!


Before we got to enjoy our evening the kids needed to do their chore of folding socks.  It eventually got done so that we could move forward with out night.


This was a fun picture of the kids watching Pippi Longstockings.  Pizza, a movie and a working fireplace.  All in all, it was a good night.


After Pippi, the kids somehow convinced us to watch a little bit of a Tom and Jerry movie.


After the movies, we all got to go upstairs and Mom read us a short book.


After the kids went to bed, Melissa and I stayed up to watch Commentary: The Musical.  I like the Commentary, but Melissa prefers the Sing Along Blog.
