This weekend

So, this weekend has been decently relaxing. I received my list of students: I will have 10 students; 8 boys, 2 girls. 1 first grader, 3 second graders, 1 fourth grader, 4 fifth graders, and 1 sixth grader. Four students will be tutored in Math, the rest in Language Arts. Unfortunately, my laptop, which I need for this job, decided to corrupt its hard-drive, and Matt has spent the weekend fixing it. I think he has been successful; it is updating as we speak. All my documents and pictures are on his computer now. That works for me; I don't have to worry about the kids accidentally deleting anything during a tutor session.

Before my computer decided to die, I got it in my head to try a project. I saw on One Pretty Thing a post by Little Black Teapot  for an adorable sock dog. Here's what I got so far:


What do you think? Pretty cute, huh? I think so! Oh, and the one on the left is definitely a mouse. Not sure how that happened. It started life as a dog....The second one is decidedly more dog like :)

Well, Matt stayed up until about 330am fixing my computer, and he was up around 730am, so he's already off to bed. I guess I need to head there soon! If my computer is for sure fixed, I'll start calling my parents to set up first sessions tomorrow. And maybe I'll set up a sewing class with the guys we got the sewing machine from. Also thinking of a spin class....I've got 4 unused paid-for sessions. Should use them up!

Well, good night, all.
