Another lazy Sunday. Nothing wrong with that. I haven't recorded my day since Thursday and I planned on doing that today but I didn't actually remember that plan until it was too late to actually put in the effort to catch up on the past three days. So maybe tomorrow. A large portion of my day was spent leaning back in my chair, with my legs up on the TV tray that I usually have my keyboard and mouse on, reading Ender's Game. I made it to chapter ten, which is apparently about 47% through the book. Not bad for a couple days of reading. I am enjoying the book so far and I am looking forward to watching the trailer for the movie after I finish the book. I don't want it to taint the vision of the story I have going in my head right now.

I looked up a video for crochet leaves and added several of those to the flower I crocheted for my mom. It looks a lot better with the leaves. I really want to make a bunch of them and make an artichoke-looking thing. Or use several different colors to make it look like a petal-y flower. It looks cool in my head.

Tonight we had a Mother's Day dinner of Freddy's and barbecue. I had Freddy's because their veggie burgers are good. Probably because they are cooked on the same griddle as the real burgers, but I am pretending that isn't the case. After dinner we gave my mom her presents. She just finished her last gift card yesterday so the one I got her today was good timing. And she liked the flower I made. My sister made her a shadowbox thing with a big letter 'L' and some knick-knack things and it looks very rustic and cool. After that we sat around and talked and watched a few episodes of Duck Dynasty, which I think is the only reality TV show I actually like. It is a great source of comedy.

I didn't get around to starting my laundry until after nine o'clock so I am waiting on my whites to finish in the washer so I can throw them in the dryer and go to bed. I'm not necessarily that tired but I am looking forward to cuddling up in my bed and just chilling out.

This coming week my most important goal is to go around and get pictures for the yearbook of the kids who missed picture day. All the pages need to be to the printer by Friday, so that deadline is fast approaching. I also need to finish up the labels for the note cards that will have all the kids' test scores. These will be given to their teachers next year so they know what their class is looking like. That should keep me fairly busy this week. I like busy.
