I don't place that much importance on birthdays. I don't feel bad about not going to someone else's party. We don't invite anyone, my kids may invite a friend or two over. Normally cards are sent and we see family at other times throughout the year.
This just happened to me last night! I missed two exits, took 25 extra minutes getting to get where I was going. Took a wrong turn on the way home and did two U turns, illegal or not I have no idea. Both because I was lost and I just can't see things like I can during the day.
While in my mother's womb I peeked through her bellybutton and wondered what she was doing all the time? I watched intently, how hard she worked. Rarely taking a break, she moved like magic. I would see smiling faces come towards her. I could hardly wait until I too could take something and make it shine. :001_smile:
Decaf coffee still has caffeine
Boxed tea
Snapple tea
Arizona tea
Chai
Root Beer
Chocolate milk
Many of the boxes of tea will have the caffeine content listed.
Fantastic idea! Lol
I once bought pies, took them out of the tins they come in and put them in my glass pie plates. I had to spread them to the sides a bit because they were too small.
Ok ...I've actually done this a few times. :)
I give you permission. Take a break from the structure and go with it.
reading: Read stories out loud, math: play board games, handwriting: have them fill out the Christmas cards (if your sending any out).
