Hodge Podge
I could write post after post of personal stuff, but I hesitate to do that these days. I owe three people detailed emails (sorry), and I must get around to posting a ton of pictures. I will write what comes to mind right now.
~ Tonight at Tae Kwon Do, I overheard a mother discussing bullies at her child’s school. She said, “School isn’t for feeling terrified, school is for learning.”
~ We TRIED to drive past, but we just had to get fish ‘n’ chips after Tae Kwon Do tonight. We had Chinese food the other day with chicken balls that tasted exactly the same. I still have to do the dishes that are in the sink.
~ Tonight, I found out that tomorrow is parent/teacher day. I was surprised the other mothers didn’t ask me why I didn’t know that. (The Tae Kwon Do mothers have yet to find out we homeschool.) I will have a good long talk with myself tomorrow while the children are doing their schoolwork.
~ It was such a warm afternoon that C7 and L4 played outside in the water sprinkler. We also walked to the river where they and B10 “fished” with long reeds/seaweed.
~ N14 mowed the lawn until he ran out of gas today, and B10 washed the van as high as he could reach. He couldn’t get the windshield.
~ I got a new red leather jacket in Montreal the other day. Ooooh. 
~ Derek finished all his exams for the course he has been taking. He is much smarter now.
~ I am almost caught up in laundry, and most things are put away.
~ L4 got very little schoolin’ this week. He loves to play by himself or with his imaginary friends or with his sister.
~ I went yesterday to get much needed new make-up. The sales lady told me I needed a moisturizer to prevent more wrinkles. 
She gave me a “hypo-allergenic” sample to put on my face. I told her I don’t use them because they always give me a rash, but she insisted, and I became a guinea pig yet again. A few hours later, my face was red, blotchy, swollen, and itchy. Fortunately, every time this happens, the reaction is a little less.
~ I had a hard time choosing mascara, so the sales lady pointed to the brand she was wearing. I looked at her eyes, and said “Sure, that would be great” which was sort of a lie, but I couldn’t tell her I didn’t like it, so I went out the door with her mascara. It isn’t too bad, I guess.
~ While shopping yesterday (in the middle of the day), I had an interesting conversation about homeschooling. I like to shock and awe. 
~ I bought C7 two lovely dresses in NY, and I can’t believe I left the store with one in the wrong size. Argh!
~ Most importantly, I bought a new pair of Sarah Palin RED SHOES!!!!! Go Sarah!!!
