FOR TODAY<\/strong> May 23, 2011<\/p>\n Outside my window…<\/strong> sunny and LOTS of pollen.<\/p>\n I am thinking…<\/strong> about Ann of House of Estrogen<\/a> and what she’s going through<\/a>. Also about an article I read on reforming youth sports and how one of our former parishioners in Minnesota is the poster child for WHY they need to be reformed.<\/p>\n I am thankful for…<\/strong> being able to get together with my heathen family at my brother’s house for the communal birthday gathering. There was some joking around about which city was going to be annihilated next in the Rapture (Christians do have senses of humor — really, we do) and lots of Daniel fun.<\/p>\n From the kitchen…<\/strong> ramen for lunch.<\/p>\n I am wearing…<\/strong> brown polo shirt and khaki capris.<\/p>\n I am creating…<\/strong> this entry. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n I am going…<\/strong> hopefully nowhere else today though I may have to take Mr. Grumpy out for a drive or something to get him to calm down.<\/p>\n I am reading…<\/strong> The Body in the Boullion<\/u> by Katherine Hall Page. I’m liking her mysteries and I’m thinking that I need to carve out more time to read them.<\/p>\n I am hoping…<\/strong> the pollen abates or it rains. Serious misery here on my part.<\/p>\n I am hearing…<\/strong> Daniel grumping about something.<\/p>\n Around the house…<\/strong> lots of cleaning for Daniel’s 6-month Regional Center eval tomorrow.<\/p>\n One of my favorite things…<\/strong> playing the “yogurt snack game” with Daniel. (He drops the bag in my lap. I say “thank you”. He stands up or crawls in my lap. I put the yogurt snack in my closed hand. He uncurls my fingers and gets his snack.)<\/p>\n A few plans for the rest of the week:<\/strong> Daniel’s 6-month eval, getting some car stuff arranged, and hopefully a lot of unscheduled days.<\/p>\n Here is picture for thought I am sharing…<\/strong> My grandfather and I watching cows when I was 5. I chose this because I miss my grandfather and when Daniel gets grumpy in the evening, I stick him in the car and we go “cow-hunting”. Watching cows is a special pastime shared in my generation by my cousins Kristin and Sarah who are 12 and 13 years younger than me. (*sniffs* Kristin is now 19 and Sarah will be 18 this year.)<\/p>\n Hosted by The Simple Woman’s Daybook<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" FOR TODAY May 23, 2011 Outside my window… sunny and LOTS of pollen.
