Today was a sort of surprise snow day. The buses were already on their runs when first a delay and then a school closing enacted. Luckily, I had gotten a call from Gus’s bus driver to tell me that the roads were bad. I decided then to keep both kids home despite whatever the schools decided.
Since [...]
My son often says funny things, and occasionally I just have to write them down.
We were having some trouble with the software we use for his math homework. The screen keeps freezing up when he finishes one particular assignment, preventing him from moving on the the next assignment. So to keep him from getting frustrated, I [...]
Yup, I played hooky yesterday. Granted, I only have to answer to myself when nothing gets done around here, but I can be quite a pain to work for. At any rate, I’m glad I did take the day because today has already been non-stop. But I’m taking a short break to show the Universe some [...]
Good morning, reader! I am aware that today is Friday, but I ran into a few technical difficulties yesterday that took up the bulk of the day, so I never got to sit down and post. However, had I posted, this is what I was thankful for yesterday (and still am today):

Twice a week, Gus comes home with math drills to do – a sheet of math problems that should be fairly quick and simple, designed to practice computation skills.

I can’t believe it’s already Thursday! As the weather gets warmer, time seems to speed up – why is that? Anyway, on to thankfulness!
Today I am thankful for:
New furniture that my in-laws have so generously given us. Gus is particularly fond of the new club chairs that he can curl up in and [...]
prompt by Mo of Manic Monday – check it out!
So yesterday, we (meaning I) started painting the downstairs. Gus had asked if he could help, which I was happy to oblige. So he got to put some of the primer on a small section of the wall. He wasn’t all that pleased when [...]
It’s raining today, and I’m happy about that. Know why? Because it’s not snowing! Spring is right around the corner and that’s a good time to bask in some springtime gratitude!
1. I am thankful that tomorrow it will officially be spring! In honor of this, I’ve planned that Sunday I will take a vacation [...]
