Last Week In Numbers

It was brought to my attention (Thanks Lizz) that I didn’t do a Wednesday in Numbers this past week. You see, one of the problems with working with as many children as I do is that, well, children have germs. They managed to pass on a lovely cold/sore throat/earache/headache lovely disease from Tuesday until yesterday, and posting was fairly far from my mind. So, I thought I’d make it up to you with not only a Wednesday in Numbers, but a “Wednesday through Friday” in Numbers!
