Good morning, hyenas!
As DS3 said yesterday, pointing skyward: "Mama, look! The
sun!"
It's October in Seattle, and the sun is out, gorgeously clear skies, and supposed to be 67F today.
It makes no sense, but I'll take it anyway!
Got the kids off to school, grabbed a mocha, then dashed back to DS7's school to begin volunteering in DS's classroom. She had some photocopying and homework correction to do, so got that done in a jiffy, then posted some of the kids' artwork outside the room. She's so sweet, was so grateful, and it was nice to help out. And I got to see DS7 at school. Funny, isn't it, how he can be mad at me nagging him at home, or bored with me but Daddy's the hero when HE gets home. Suddenly I show up in his classroom and I'M the hero!!! It's a nice feeling.
DS3's teacher just called; apparently he threw up a bit ago. They aren't concerned because he's feeling fine now (he has another cold, so I think it's just all the sinus drainage upsetting his stomach.) She didn't ask me to come get him, which surprised me, and she said he's eating lunch and he feels fine now, but I said I'd pick him up early anyway, just in case.
So off I go.
Oh! But I did want to say for Sam's DD: I LOVED that story! I'm sorry her heart is hurting, of course, but I am so glad she stood up for herself, didn't ditch her friends like so many impressionable young girls will do, and stuck with her own pursuits! She will NOT make the mistakes I made as a young girl, and will NOT have to deal with the heartache and self-esteem issues as a result of being in a relationship with a self-centered person. She is growing into a strong woman, and I applaud her!
