So yesterday was one of those busy, but not necessarily productive,
days.  I did go to CU (I don’t normally schedule appointments on
days I don’t teach, but I figured since I’d be there to watch the
girls…there was no reason not to have the meeting.), but I got a few
“housekeeping” details done, but not much else.  The meeting went
well, and my advisee is moving towards a major, which is good. 
But I didn’t get any grading done which would’ve been helpful. 

The girls were quite amusing.  Holly had apparently gotten her
temper tantrum out of the way before/during bath time in the morning,
but Kelly managed one, despite her “horror” at Holly’s tantrum earlier,
because Holly picked up a doll that Kelly hadn’t touched for 10 or more
minutes.  She went from perfectly content to immediate breakdown
(complete with real tears and wailing) in about 15 seconds.  Of
couse, Holly didn’t really care about the doll and let me have it after
less than a minute, at which point I gave it to Kelly.  Kelly,
then, stopped the waterworks and put the doll down on the couch and
forgot about her, too.  Other than that little episode, we watched
a VeggieTales DVD (for Kelly) and a Baby Einstein DVD (for Holly)
before Deb got home.  They are quite cute…even with the
occasional outbursts!

We had beef stew in the crockpot for dinner last night and biscuits,
which were yummy!  I didn’t have any baking powder, but found an
equivalency recipe using soda and cream of tartar…they actually
turned out well.  Then I went grocery shopping.  I figured a
Thursday evening should be a good time, but there was one family with a
8-10 year old who really needed more control…but hey, I guess you
can’t have everything you want. 

Today is the norm…classes, lunch, class.  My dad will probably
be home for lunch today, and I have a dept. meeting in a minute or two,
so I need to get to that!  Other than that, though…I’ll just be
attempting to stay warm!
