Hey when did I move to Oregon?
actually I love a day like this, the week has been very long and today is stay home read a book and just veg...after I do the dinner thing.
today I am trying something new...it's a new service where you choose the menu they prep it then you go assemble it and voile you have 6 dinners for 6 prepped and ready to go

I don't mind cooking but I hate figuring out what to cook and then having to go buy what I need someone has done the icky part...so tonight it is Swiss crepes with Chicken and bacon or greek baked chicken or articoke & spinach quiche or lemon garlis chicken bake...how does a girl decide?

OK just shut up go to bed and listen to what life is telling me

Happy St Patrick's Day
I had a great day today. I got to introduce my kiddos to the concept of St Patrick's day and what mischeiveous leprechauns do. I love watching the sense of wonder in their eyes when they learn the new things. when we found the pot of gold is was great...it wasn't until the end of the day that they realized it was chocolate coins. To be so young and innocent again.
My #3 is in town for a day or 2, it must be killing her to be home with the moms on a holiday and not out. We shop, eat and sleep when she is here. I enjoy her company a lot and miss having my kids close by. Last night we all went out to eat and the waiter asked if we were all sisters. Made the old ladies feel good and the youngster feel old! The waiter was embrassed when she said I was her mother!
Have a great weekend

it is a 3 dog in bed day! for sunny california it has been cold...when we went out yesterday the sky was crystal clear and the foothills were covered with snow it was beautiful..but that means cold here.

Have #3 here with me for a whirlwind day and a half, just picked here up from Vegas now taking her to the airport for San Diego then she's back for a few days then off the # 1 & 2 then back to work. She brought back pictures of Vencie, amersterdam, Germany and the Grand Canyon...the child knows how to live, but I did that type of stuff whe I was young. I encourage that wanderlust while you are young marraige morgages etc will wait.

Many people don't know of my wanderlust days. i mentioned in a meeting last week that I lived in Bear Valley (a ski resort) my image went up considerably in my Principals eyes. I am overweight fuddy duddy now, people don't picture me as one willing to just up and move on a whim to wherever I wanted to do whatever felt right.

I guess age does catch up with you, but I believe play when you are young so your body recoops quicker! spoken by a true 50+ woman

have a great day we are off to do what she wants to do then to the airport

Today was the funeral of my student's father. We talked about it in class today and they made the choice to write him letters saying I am sorry your Dad died. I was touched by thier compassion for him. I am very proud of them for wanting to show their compassion. I love little boys they are not afraid of emotions!
