Just a Plain Jane Week

October 6, 2025

I wish I took more photos. 


This phase of life seems to have my camera out less and less, I don't even bother with the phone camera half the time. I don't know if it's being busier than I was when the boys weren't in school, or honestly what. Lack of drive to blog? Or just a general shift in how media is consumed. 


Regardless, here's what I did document from the weekend. 




Harrison got the Coach's Award at KidStrong this week. 


He was pretty proud of himself. KidStrong has been such a great outlet for burning energy and having to practice their listening skills. 




This is probably a partial reason as to why I'm brainfried - last week was homecoming. 


Homecoming in the tiny town I teach in is on aother level, it makes the 4th of July look mildly acknowledged every year. 


Kids are out rolling houses all week, then there is the parade and bonfire, followed up on Friday with the schools having an open house for visitors to come by and two pep rallies. I really intended to go to the game, but I was so sweaty and dead after all the pep rallies I just stayed home and rotted on the couch. 




One big perk of anything deemed a holiday here -- is the teacher treats. Some sweet parents sent cakes, candy apples, and puppy chow on Thursday. It definitely made for a much more exciting time of progress monitoring everyone on their Reading fluency.




Other than that I mopped a bunch (two boys and two dogs) and cleaned like crazy in preparation for the air purifiers coming in, we went to a party with the adult Sunday School class we attened when we aren't teaching a youth one, and my D-Group met to discuss what we studied this week. 

Just a Plain Jane week.
