Pulled in all directions

So Aaron is telecommuting. It is weird. He shuts himself in the office for four hour blocks and take away my computer accessability. I don't usually need the computer in those times, but sometimes I'm awaiting an email to tell me where to pick up some good free stuff.

I went to the relief society Enrichment night. It was announced that the world has 10 weeks left of wheat. The time of my procrastination now has to be over. I'm going over to Macey's tomorrow and see if I can buy 1,000 pounds of wheat. I wonder how much that would cost. I hope I can get a bag boy to help me. Or something. Dh wasn't worried when I came home with the announcement.

We made baby blankets. I made one and brought another home. I don't know when I'm going to find the time.

I split the recorder class into two. I did two classes today. The "practicing" class was pretty good. They are doing well. Caitlyn, the youngest kid is the top student. She plays better than any of the other students. She has a good sense of beat. Emily is starting to fall behind. I need to practice separately with her. The "non-practicing" class was a joke. Those kids missed a week and haven't practiced in two weeks. The 11 year old just needs practice, but has the maturity to excel if she worked a little at it. The 8 year old still hasn't the faintest idea what music is about. The 5 year old is just taking up space. I don't think she's learned a thing.

I talked with another homeschooling mom at enrichment night. She had some good ideas from a seminar. I now have more homeschooling stuff to work out, figure out what to do. I want to start P.E. I'm starting to worry about the kids' shapes. The are in front of the tv 80% less than the average kid, but they still don't get much exercise and neither do I. I don't know what to do. I can't afford sports and neither would it be fair to stick Emily on a team. (She'd be the girl watching butterflies during the game.)

We made 24 hour kits yesterday. Now I've got to move on to the 5 day kits. I don't know where to buy the supplies for the cheapest price.

I also should do family history work. I need to finish my baby quilt. I need to study Greek. I need to go pick up the Girl Scout cookies. Oh, I am a bit upset about that. Girl Scouts of Utah hired someone to be over the cookie pathways program. (The girls just sell cookies.) This lady decided to have all the cookies delivered to the Salt Lake office even though she could have attached our order to a troop in town. It is too late now. We have to go all the way to Salt Lake to get the cookies. They were in today and we had to make an appointment. Aaron was going to telecommute, so I set up 6:45pm. He could eat dinner, then go out there. Then he was told he needed to sign the paperwork, so he wouldn't be telecommuting, so I set him up at 5:30, stopping by after work. Then he got the go ahead to telecommute without paperwork. He didn't get off work till 5pm. So now the cookie lady says she's going to give the cookies away to someone else. I have to call her tomorrow. That would be so mean. I had already emailed her about how inconvenient this is for me. Tuesday is just not the day for me to be driving around. (Stress makes me ill and driving distances in the city stresses me out.) Anyway, I'm being crazy and stressing and ought to relax...
