I’m sorry guys but I’ve had to add authentication to comments. Hopefully it won’t be too annoying but I’ve just gotten TOO MUCH comment spam.
Joseph
So – Joseph has a playdate Wednesday. We’re all a-flutter. And this is his first actual friend.
He lost a tooth yesterday, and this morning he had a DOLLAR! (The bank of Grandma gives great interest. I put my foot down at a dollar.) Exchange with his father:
It’s a DOLLAR! This is SO COOL, ’cause it has GEORGE WASHINGTON ON IT!!!! He was the first president , you know. Now, our president is George W. Bush. Abraham Lincoln was a president too, but he got killed. With a gun.
It is bizarre when kids start coming home armed with knowledge that you didn’t teach them. It’s very weird.
Saturday hiatus
I’m taking a Saturday hiatus – I may post later on but I doubt it. I’m the new editor of the school paper. And its due tomorrow. So I have to go learn publishing software I’ve never used (after first installing it), wade through all the article submissions, edit, and then try to fit the puzzle pieces in a format fit for publishing.
I’m never raising my hand again.
All’s Well
Logan had his bi-annual cardiologist appointment. No change. This is a good thing. Surgery still imminent in about 5 years. But – he doesn’t have to be seen for another 8 months this time around. AND – if that one goes well, another YEAR before the next.
So, he’s doing as well as can be expected with his condition.
A weekly idea?
So, I had come up with the concept for a weekly feature called What Would We Do Wednesdays. The idea was this: You all would send in questions, and Poe and myself would answer on our respective blogs with our version of our answer. Sort of a “he said/she said” type of thing. Only two of you submitted questions, and my idea died a slow painful death.
BUT – I still want to do a weekly feature! So… What do you want to see here?
The other idea I had, but hadn’t tried was the same sort of idea… You all would send in questions. I would keep track of them, and post one a week. You all would answer on your own blog and/or in my comments (and I would answer too.) I’m not talking about writing prompts or hypothetical “what would you do’s.” I’m talking about actual advice for real problems – ranging from, “My kid keeps eating paste, what do I do” to “I think my marriage is falling apart, what do I do?”
I think it could lead to some interesting dialogue, and I get to run the show and be the boss which appeals to my anal retentive perfectionist self.
OR – I’m open to anyone’s ideas for a weekly feature. Does someone out there have an idea, and just don’t want to do it on your own blog? Is something missing that you’d like to see on a blog? Please let me know.
