the_rckI did my usual three hours in the school library yesterday. Cordelia's class came in and actually did book check out, but Cordelia didn't get anything. I think she feels she has enough books from the public library. I recognized all of the girls who checked books out, but all of the boys were new to me.
I did the usual tasks, checking books in and out and shelving them. I also put barcodes and date due pockets on a couple of stacks of books. They were paid for by a grant, so the first thing I had to do was to look at the packing slips and verify that we actually had all of the books we were supposed to. There were two books in the stacks that weren't on the packing slips. The librarian's comment was that that was not the problem she expected to have. My guess is that there was another packing slip that got lost somewhere.
This week is the last week before our cleaning lady comes back from her vacation. I will be glad to have her back even if it does mean that I feel like my space is being invaded once a week (I like her; I just hate having her here if that makes sense). We haven't really kept up on any of the tasks she usually does, and it shows.
Scott and I watched a couple episodes of Leverage last night. We have one left on the DVD. I'm hoping we can get to it tonight, but Scott might have to go in early tomorrow, so I'm not sure we'll have time. I don't think we're going to finish Leverage before Mark Watches does. I was hoping, but we're going so very slowly that I think it's unlikely.
The deadline for registering for the school volleyball team has passed, and we never did persuade Cordelia to sign up. The last I knew, there were only five kids signed up, so I don't know if there will actually be a team or if they'll send the kids who want to play to the middle school to play on that team. I know that, for Rec & Ed at this grade level, a team needs at least six players present in order to play.
Last night, the school had a potluck, but Cordelia decided last week that she didn't want to go. I was a little disappointed because this particular potluck (which used to be called the International Dinner and now is called the Heritage Potluck) has been fun. It's a chance to try a lot of foods I wouldn't encounter anywhere else. I think it's largely that Cordelia didn't think any other sixth graders would be going. Scott didn't much care as he pretty much never goes because he doesn't dare eat the food.
