Saturday Afternoon Thoughts


This is Barbie. She has been wearing this outfit about once a week.
And then no less ridiculous is Annie, seen here in the middle. I don't even try to tell Annie what to do anymore. That's Jessica on her right and the two of them are mortal enemies.

Here's a gem from music class. They let us teach them some Beatles and other old pop songs now so its far less painful than it used to be. I'll have Puff the Magic Dragon on here next week.

On a side note-- why am I still having server nightmares? I should be having teacher nightmares.

I'm almost at 6 months now.. going through yet another weird/hard/good transition phase. Everything just keeps changing here, which I guess is good when you have to smash so much into just one year. I'm glad that things keep moving right along here and, once in a while, it slows down long enough for you to enjoy it. So I'm just about at the top of the mountain now and in many ways back to square one in my head, which is a good thing. I'm remembering how I felt when I got here and the exciting weeks before, and for the first time just recently entertained ideas about staying longer, which is a positive step for me. Regardless, I plan on fully enjoying the air and the view before I start the easy and exciting trot back down the other side.

And I'm looking forward to having visitors.

I have more to say today but I have to go I am meeting Ryan McKelvey, who has an extra ticket to this:

Bye.
