Went to the grocery store with kids and was irrationally jealous of the lady behind me, about my age, obviously professional, single, no kids, well put together buying salad and kitty litter. I know I know...count my blessings. Perhaps she's jealous of me too. i just imagine her returning to a peaceful apartment in the city, alone and peaceful.

Started back Chinese yesterday. We finally gave up on Latin after 5 years of study. We are picking back up Mandarin for ds13. Ds11 is doing Spanish and is enjoying learnign a living language. He is doing well. I enjoy hearing him practice in his online class. Hope Chinese will go well this second round.

TPS first day tech problem. Narnia class canceled.

Anyone in Landry Academy: Have your students been told not to email the teachers? My kids are telling me this is a new policy this year, but I can't find it anywhere, and the class recordings aren't available.
