Editing a friend's essay
Planning lessons for the next 2 weeks
Cleaning house (yeah right)
Negotiating peace treaty between two children battling over the bathroom
Figuring out how to add 1/2 an ounce of weight to the Pinewood Derby car by Friday (I left a message for my dad that I needed Bigger Nuts...we'll see what he shows up with tomorrow morning)
