DuoLingo Streak: 60 Days
Two solid months of DuoLingo every, single day. I am very happy about that. I can really tell my own progress. I am so much better than I was sixty days ago.
First thing today Dominica and I got up and drove up to Kingwood to drop off the Nissan Rogue that I had borrowed last night. That took a little over an hour to get up there, only a few minutes to drop it off, then an hour back. It is a huge pain in the butt to get between Friendswood and Kingwood. Especially if you don’t have toll tags for the toll roads.
Dominica and I had grabbed breakfast from Taco Bell on our way out of Friendswood, so at least we had that. Sujit was not around when we dropped off the car, so we did not see him today.
Jeremy was traveling from Phoenix back to Rochester today. He was in the office most of the day
We were all a little tired this morning. Yesterday was a lot of work. The Grices have the day off from school so we have all of the cousins at home together today playing. Francesca had to go to school for most of the day, only the kids had it off, but she did have a shorter than usual day, at least.
The kids spent part of the day playing out at the pool and a lot of it playing video games upstairs in the secondary living room. The teens had lots of homework that they had to do so spent much of the day doing that.
We were so tired this evening that we started getting the kids to bed at nine thirty! We had two chapters left of the third Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkeban which we read in the upstairs living room tonight. The girls just loved it. They have enjoyed all of the books thus far, but this one was their favourite. It is Dominica’s favourite of the entire series. It is the first one that I really love, I always found the first two to be lacking a bit, the story telling really improved by the third book. So we read the last two chapters and wrapped up the book tonight. We will be started The Goblet of Fire tomorrow night. Our nighttime reading time has really turned out great the last few months. We have gotten into a great pattern. It has helped a lot with everyone getting to sleep at better times, too.
