Karen, when did your dd go back to school? I hope she feels better soon.

I sent her in this morning, sick. I drove over to check on her at lunch and give her more pepto. She was feeling better then. She's better now and even hungry. She was out all last week with a sore throat and fever and doctor's orders to stay out of school. Homeschooling was so much easier.

:o)

Hmmph. No one has EVER said that to me. That's adorable!

Thank you for cheering me up by being positive! I am grouchy today.

Thank you, Karen. I needed the lift.

Lovely!

Is not the pounce the proclamation of the tiger of his very being?

Lovely quote.

Thanks for the smile.

lovely!

Thank you!I was just thinking the other day that I needed to pull out Meditations again.

:) It has been my favorite since high school. I keep a copy close by.

Nice. Kids went out to play for the first time in over a week - we've been battling a virus around here.

My Friday was busier than I bargained for, but it was nice and sunny. Now it almost time for some Dr. Who and a glass of wine.

Dr. Who and a glass of wine sound lovely. Enjoy!

lol. She'll be more careful next time.

that is hilarious!

Attunement - can you look at things from someone else's perspective? Buoyancy - how well do you stay afloat in the face of rejection or trouble? Clarity - Can you solve problems as well as you can find them? I had a leadership class this morning. :)

Leadership class, now it all makes sense. At least more so, then when my dh was on the ABC committee at work. "Always Be Cheerful." Snort.

lol - that is funny. Although I am the designated "nice" person on my team. We got mildly reprimanded by our manager for being "snippy" with other teams. Now when we need someone to be nice - it is my job. At least I don't have to be cheerful, always.

I can relate to Douglas Adams :)

Most excellent update. :)

Why would you need to find the kids;-)

Do a soul good don't they?

Yes, they do

Just curious, but how does one lose one's treadmill;-D

It wasn't easy. It took a lot of avoidance followed by denial.

Oh. I am quite familiar with those locations.

Well, I have 1171 computer servers to query then validate in addition to my normal Monday work and making crumpets with my girls. Oh - and I have to make dinner. I really need to quit getting distracted.

Now that makes sense. I was picturing 1171 entries like, "clean the cat box," "put away the holiday decorations." Since I have no idea about querying computer servers, it does not sound so bad:-P

It is just a really long list. I can do 100 things and feel accomplished for a minute before I peek at the rest of the list then get overwhelmed. If I do one per minute.....

My eldest had "douche" as a spelling word yesterday. We went through the full historical range of meanings because I didn't want to her misunderstand if she came across it in an older work. Much like the use of "ejaculate" in late 19th Century kids lit. :P

I got to explain spit balls. :)

I guess that's why they call them "moments"! :P

:)

Sounds lovely, whether you are asleep or not.

Lol...I would have kicked it into the grass...ants would have taken care of it or one of the cats would have dragged it off.

Lol. I just saw this. Before homeschooling, the former. After homeschooling, definitely the later. I have endured some gross things in the name of education.

:)
