• For a school day it went fairly smoothly. I actually thought that I was finished early when I looked at the clock and saw that it was already 1:30. Though I did grab Whitman then to work with me before I went on my afternoon walk. The days are long right now, but overall school is going fairly smoothly-though Keaton and Campbell are about throw a kink in some of our school days.
• Graham did his school pretty quickly today so he would have time for his run and shower before he had to go to work. Anderson and I worked on a scholarship this afternoon for a little bit, but I honestly feel like I could counsel people on having a senior and all of the things that there are to do. I don't have it all figured out, obviously, but I have an incredible list happening!
• Whitman did not want to work together this afternoon. We usually do 3 extra math pages each day so I was going to be generous and skip one. After I put one over to the side to skip, he took his pencil and started writing down answers to some of the problems. This makes me a little bit crazy, but we have been working on percents on this extra math-and he does them in his head. I have to write out the problem and then solve it to even know if he is correct. For example, 10% of what number is 7? I don't know! But Whitman does. Or 35 is 7% of what number? I don't know! But Whitman does. 
• Soon it was time for everyone to leave-Anderson had to be at Raymar early for football so Keaton, Campbell, and Whitman went early with him. Robby and I actually left a few minutes before they did for a few mystery shops. 
• Then we all pitched in and worked the concession stand during the two football games. My kiddos so love being at Raymar-well, I am not really sure if Graham loves it though! The rest of them do.
• When we came home, most everyone had already eaten, but Robby had some chicken to grill up. He did that even though it was dark outside. We chopped it up and got it ready for another day's supper. Now, I am trying to finish this blog and maybe read for a little bit before bed.
