Chinese Homework

Jorja's Chinese homework blows me away. Especially because she can do it. The top portion is her spelling test. She needs to know how to write the characters by Friday. The bottom portion also comes with a powerpoint that gets e-mailed to me. Jorja reads the characters as she listens to her teacher say the pronunciation. Still, crazy.

Jorja couldn't go to school today. We were iced in. After Mike left for work, he called me about a half an hour later saying he just got down the driveway. He spun and went off the road a couple of times and finally had to back down the entire thing. I didn't want to do that. When I called the school and told them we couldn't get out of our driveway, they were probably so confused. I'm sure that doesn't happen much in Utah. Oh well. I bet it won't happen in our new house. We were hoping that we could have the carpet in by Stockton's birthday on Friday, but it looks like it will be in on Monday.

Mike came home from work after a few hours. He woke up with a lot of pain in his eyes. He thinks maybe some paint chips got in them when he was painting last night. He wasn't in any pain when he went to bed, but maybe they scratched his eyes while he was sleeping? Not sure, but it really hurt. He went over to the new house and slept. Good choice, he wouldn't get much sleeping done over here. He then bought more salt for the snowplow and made the driveway drivable. We were able to get Jorja to achievement days, Maysen & Stockton to diving, then Jorja to her book club at the library. As we were going to bed, we were talking about all the things we had to do tomorrow. I totally forgot about Jorja's book report due on Friday! That would have been perfect for her to work on today. Whoops.
