This week is the end of my first semester teaching at the middle school. We will have two days of reviews (of which I need to plan) and three days of semester exams (of which I still need to make).
Today we went to see Les Miserables. I got our babysitter who Ivy loves. She is a former student of mine and such a sweet girl! The movie was in one of those dine-in movie theaters with comfy chairs. Every time we have the opportunity, we see movies at that theater. Spoiled. The movie was long. I'd heard bad and good things about the movie. I've never seen the musical on stage. I had no idea about the story.
Man is imprisoned for stealing bread. Is given parole. "Jumps" parole and somehow gets his third chance at life. Creates a new identity, saves and adopts a former-employee-turned-prostitute's child. Citizens start a revolution. Boy falls in love with the child and she with him. Okay... long story short. A ton of singing and a lot of separate story lines that make my eyeballs cross. It's depressing. Anne and Amanda's singing is beautiful. Everyone else, not-so-much. For not having seen the musical or knowing the story beforehand, I would say it was good. Not the best movie ever.
That's pretty much what is floating around in my head. I need to really buckle down and do some actual work.
This week's Menu Plan Monday is compiled entirely by various Pinterest Pins that I have... pinned.
Sunday - Chicken Spaghetti made with homemade cream of chicken soup
Monday - LO Chicken Spaghetti and crack potatoes
Tuesday - Shrimp - I don't know what it's called. It's a dead link (photo only) - I need to find the original recipe.
Wednesday - Crock Pot Taco Soup
Thursday - LO Soup
Friday - Breakfast. I have a lot of breakfast pins with hash browns so I'm gonna find something to try.
Saturday - It's up in the air. Clear out the fridge?
