Morning -- I've been out of commission for the last couple days as the lack of sleep was getting to me. And my husband can't (read: won't) cook so I've just been eating crap and that doesn't help the body either. Oh, and he deliberately is picking fights with me right before I try to fall asleep a well. Oh, and he just made my breakfast (farina+flax seed+soymilk = 1.5 mins) with spoiled soymilk. Oh, and did I mention that last night was the first night I had managed to have a deep sleep and he headbutted (yes, I said headbutted) me ~4a so I couldn't fall back asleep until 615a? Oh, well, he did. I have to say, I am completely jealous of his ability to sleep for HOURS under any condition. Next step of evolution.
It's rainy here too Beth though I got it a couple hours after you! I asked Joe to mow the lawn before it rained so it wouldn't look like a jungle at the end of all this rain. I'm hoping we won't find any leaks in the next couple days. I really want to do Imax Extreme or the Viper or something that will sweat the crap out of me (literally!). I'm worried about Evee. The dog doesn't like to go out in the rain but that means we may find accidents inside the house...and it's pouring a lot more than it was yesterday so I'm not sure what she's whining about. I was the only one who wasn't going into lab today but I'm thinking if the rain continues, everyone will take that holiday today (well, only my lab was showing up -- the rest of the building is closed).
Kathy -- have fun with RS! If you want btw, click on my blog -- I found some Ryka shoe deals if there are any you like.
Beth -- those ARE creative projects. But I think its better for younger kids than older ones. This kid that Joe and I are tutoring goes to this super fancy private school next to Caltech and it's sorta weird how he spent so much of his time doing this more creative projects that he doesn't know the basics of writing a good term paper (we spent multiple sessions trying to clean up a paper that he was supposed to spend months on)! But let them have fun and get into everything now, right? Everyone seems to be saying nice things about the Ellen series...now that I know why when I would hear her voice, I'd feel funny I think I'm ok with buying a couple new ones (on sale of course).
Mmm...still under warm covers...
Good you got some workout in. those projects for the kids sound hard on you too! I hate that the projects become OUR projects most of the time (not to do , but to orchestrate ;and make sure they get it done).
