Interpersonal relationships can be so challenging!

My 14yo told me I sound mad in my texts to her. Apparently putting periods at the ends of my sentences makes me sound mad.

I hate this about my native culture: people tell each other they are too fat, too ugly...Last night on the phone my middle school classmate told me his impression of me was outstanding student, very kind-hearted, not good-looking (ugly). Granted, I did ask him what impression he had of me first. It still stings. I know all along how people in my native country think of me. It stings to hear it. So very glad my American dh praises me beautiful every day and my Maker thinks I am beautiful!

Overheard while my 7yodd was working on her math: "Twelve . . . twelve . . oh man, I'm going to have to use my toes!"

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.

What is up with all these science activities that expect you to have clear film canisters? It's not as If these books were published when I was a kid!
