This is the last week I will have both my girls at home together as just my girls.  I have to practice writing these things so I do not get chocked up when I say them.  I am almost done with all my tasks for the wedding which will only leave 2 days to prepare for Christmas.  I am not worried.  I read once that the only time miracles happen are when you need them to happen.  Of course I drive Highway 17 everyday so I am in need daily.

No Miniatures Club this week.

Agenda December 10

1 J55 Types of Bonds
2 J56 Ionic Bonds

If the weather is as bad as predicted tomorrow, I will not be holding the make up tests.  I have a long drive and it could be pretty bad if I don't leave right away.  I will adjust the make up tests for next week and make them available on Monday after school and at lunches.

I was aiming at Thursday next week for the CH5 Test but may need to bump it out to Friday, the day I am absent.  There is an assembly that day so classes will only be 40 minutes long.  Time will be tight so students need to be prepared to sit down and start work.
