Busy

I want to keep up and have lots to write about, lest we put our rose colored glasses on and forget what actually took place, alas...............................there is not enough time in the day.

~ J dropped my laptop on the ground today. Note to self: Don't put a gentlemen with a broken arm in charge of getting laptop to and fro.

~ E's school is getting better. Note to self: Only one child in public school at a time or at least until one child knows what they are doing and what is expected of them. Remember everyone is human. There have been many little mistakes which could turn into big mistakes if not taken care of. This is time consuming.

~ Apparently the same 10 parents volunteer for everything even though there are 1500 students. This may be an exaggeration.

~ Violin/piano lessons are going great. M LOVES violin. This has surprised me.

~ S has a great coach for soccer. When a boy pushed her from behind and sent her flying through the air she came off the field determined to NOT play soccer again. This is actually NOT okay when you are five and playing soccer, but it was the first game and no one knew what to do. Thankfully, her wonderful coach, lacking enough players to play, convinced her that she would not have to play when "blue socks" was out there and he would hold her hand the whole time. She ran him all over the field and would run off the field when "blue socks" was cam back out. It was enough of a confidence booster that she is fine now. And, the rule has been stated that if someone does that again, play is stopped and the child is either removed from the game or made to apologize and told the rules.

~ School is going great for us here at home. There are mainly smiles and lots of laughter. I am having such a great time with J.

~ We picked up a little kitten. She is so cute and.............such a little monster. We now close all doors when sleeping because she chews on our hair, plays with our hand/feet/legs/whatever and completely disrupts our sleep. If we lock her in the bathroom because she won't stop climbing our clothes, she meows until we let her out.

~ I love fall. And Serena has told us it is fall because, "You can see the leaves falling from the trees."

Gotta go get some school finished. Lunch is over.
