The 13 yr old’s bus arrived today and despite me rushing to the front door and opening it wide, he still honked the horn! This irritates me enough that I go out and politely ask him not to do that because of the number of “sleeping babies” about. He’s a nice guy but the horn should really only be used if we aren’t responding at all.
The baby is awake.
A New Day!
Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:
This Morning
Yikes! Overslept. I actually was up at 5:45 and refueled the fire. I should have kept moving. Went back to bed and didn’t get the kids up until 6:30. Must prepare for carpool.
My cat says I’ve been on the computer enough. She is practically standing on the keyboard begging attention. She needs a bath and a grooming but I need my arms instead of bloody stumps.
I don’t think its our court system that this person needs to be plea bargining with!
Tense moment with the 13 yr old I only raised my voice once and not that loud at all! He yelled enough to make my head throb.
Wow. Once we’ve trained ourselves to be short and snappy with people it certainly is difficult to not jump straight into barking mode; however, it is possible to retrain ourselves. These old dogs can still learn a few new tricks! I still slip up and am either overly firm or snappy with the teenager on things that I should be lighter about but each time I am a little less firm and less snappy or the incidence of it is more brief. And I can always analyze myself during and afterwards. Look out David Caridean! This grasshopper is growing!
Had the pleasure of helping my son practice scientific notation. Helping these kids with their homework is very pleasant as sometimes it makes the brain ache trying to remember the facts; makes you want to go to school again!
Oh my son
Life is fun
When you are seven
And there is so much to do
Let’s pay attention
When a whizzing
And make sure
We aim true
With your little hose
So close to the bowl
Try to hit the water
and not your toes!
Should there be a miss
resulting in a puddled mess
Be embarrassed not
To clean up the lot!

Productivity sloow today.
I’ve been contacted by an old friend! I considered him a good friend in college. He was very influential to me as well as very helpful to me personally and educationally. I was very embarassed by my collegiate demise and dropped contacts with many of the important people around me. It’s nice to run across them again.

My eyes are very tired today so the screen is hard to concentrate on. What do I do? I’ve now walked up and down the stairs 4 times trying to find my glasses which were on my face not a few minutes ago. Not only is this wearing me out, it is frustrating me to the point that I won’t be able to concentrate.
