This is my birthday weekend.

I celebrated today with my coworkers. My coteacher made a wonderful cake for me.

I made a cake for my class. They sang Happy Birthday and some of the girls spent their time in freeplay making me birthday cakes out of playdoh with different kinds of pretend candles in it for me to blow out.

I asked some of my students what husband should give me for my birthday. The funniest answer - a baby.
Husband has had a stressful day at work so I'm not sure that he would find the humor in it. I thought it was funny.

The reminder phone call from the doctors office said that the appointment was at 3. When I arrived the nurse said "your appointment was at 2." So I rescheduled. But am not too unhappy. I am celebrating and there is no room for such things as doctors.

Tomorrow I am spending the afternoon with S1. We will be working on grad school applications. One requires a residency form filled out and that is what I will be doing. Hopefully there will be time to go to campus for great coffee and also time to play with the roommate's sugar gliders.

Sunday is the actual day. I will get phone calls and in the evening will officially join the church that husband and I have attended for the past few years.

Comment Moderation Free

I should have added word verification also.

Comment moderation has been removed from this blog. It was largely on because of spam but after reading so many blogs that had posts against it I have removed any moderation. Who knew that it was that controversial.

Will see how it goes.

The letter

I is our Letter of the Week this week. We talked about the letter, what sound it makes and words that start with the letter I.

I showed the children pictures of ice cream, ice cube and an iron. Only one child knew what an iron was. No one else had seen one before.

Heinz/Guest Writer

 

I have decided to get up off of my usual spot on the bed and become a guest writer for my favorite person. She is mumbling something about a meeting that has something to do about where she goes in the morning (when she should be sleeping with me in the sunbeam), her computer not working and an annual physical that is coming up this week also (I tell her that she is lucky that she can drive a car to the doctor's office and not have to be put in a cage for the ride. . . she isn't listening).

So sometimes I will be writing. But now it is time to go back for a nap.

computers

are causing some issues at the little blue house. Collectively they have decided to have unattractive tantrums so much of my day yesterday was working with them and consequently everything else was ignored.

We did watch, or try to watch, the movie Lost in Translation. Turned it off in the middle of the movie. It started out with great possibilities but something was lost in the translation.

On paper November

looks like it promises to be on the dismal side.

A birthday for me, anniversary of a couple of deaths, obligations that could finally cause that ulcer that my body has been trying to create.

But I am also old enough to know that life is what you make of it. Lemonade out of lemons if you will.

So I am watching movies, painting a Christmas village, thinking of Christmas presents to buy or make.

Reading books, petting cats, chasing goofy dogs.

Wishing all of us a pleasant November.
