Henry is snoring

I can't sleep. My head is pounding. Hayden's music is blasting from his room. He listens to B97 every night. "Hey There Delilah" is playing now. Henry is sleeping with me and he is snoring away. I secretly love when he comes and gets in bed with me. Every time he does, I think, this will be the last time and it scares me.  These boys are almost 12. Ugh. Time sure does fly.

I helped Henry fill out his ALPS application tonight. It was due last Friday. He had to have a writing sample to send in with his application, so we quickly picked a topic, hockey, of course and created a plan. I thought some of his sentences could have used some editing, but the kid is stubborn as a mule.  I was only allowed to type what he told me to type. 

We watched the Super Bowl with a bunch of friends tonight. The game was a bust, but everyone seemed to have fun anyway.  Well, except the one serious Broncos fan in the room. He gave up on the game and left the room, but first he had to take the big football balloon outside and destroy it. Being a Cubs fan, I can relate.  I had to beg Hayden to come and watch the half time show.  He loves Bruno Mars, so I thought he would love it, but he thought it was lame. The Red Hot Chili Peppers performed with him. They all look exactly the same, especially Flea.

Tomorrow, I'm going to introduce the poem Noise Day by Shel Silverstein to my reading group. I'm super excited about teaching them this cute poem.  I hope they love it.  I also have an area and perimeter poem to sing during math time. Speaking of math, if Henry gets his 7th grade math homework out at 10:00pm one more time, I'm going to beat him.  I can't think before 8am or after about 9:30 and I think I need glasses. 

Harrison is constantly playing his DS and doing something on his phone these days. He can now do two things at once.  I never thought that would be possible. He has to take the SAT soon. I hope he does well on it. I want him to get into a good school.
