The to-do list from hell...

Ahhhh, the break. I needed this break very badly. It's a good time for me to regroup my thoughts and catch up on some unit planning. On Sunday night I decided to make a to-do list for the week. I must say, it's an impressive list. If I can accomplish everything on it this week, I will be a happy camper.

Some highlights:
- plan my farm unit
- send out letters requesting sponsorship for the ECEC conference (I got suckered into being the corporate person)
- send out wedding invitations
- buy a spring jacket
- pick out bridesmaids' dresses
- apply for my passport (no, I don't have a passport, leave me alone)
- sew my pants
- doctor on Tuesday
- spa appointment on Tuesday
- dentist on Wednesday
- eye doctor on Wednesday
- go to Sarcan

That's not including the work I have to do to prepare my farm unit, the TA schedules I have to tweak and the learning resource games I want to make. Sean is at work during the day so it's good that I can be kept busy. I'm also hoping to meet up with Syd, Brea, Stacey and Clarice at some point this week. Go me!

So apparently Highway 15, arguably one of the worst highways in Saskatchewan, is washed out west of Nokomis, my hometown. This morning they interviewed Willard Beeler and Shaun Thompson, two local guys, on CBC radio. I understand there's nothing the Department of Highways can do about it until the water has gone down and the ground has dried up a bit, but this shouldn't have happened in the first place.

That road has always been a disaster. This one time? On the way to band practice? We were driving down Highway 15? And the potholes (or rather, craters) were so bad we actually drove in the ditch for a stretch. That's not right. That's not right at all. But I bet you if government people had to drive on that road on a regular basis it would have been fixed a long time ago. So now those people who drive from Nokomis to Watrous for work, school, etc have to go far out of their way to travel on a decent road. Boy, I'm glad I don't live around there anymore.
