threadwalkerLife has been too busy to post much.
In brief:
-Super N has been getting into fights at day care and school. He doesn't start them, but he does finish them. I'm probably not supposed to encourage that, but since I grew up the target of bullies, I'm actually pretty okay with it. Especially since on more than one occasion he stepped into prevent one kid from hurting another, got smacked by one of the kids and then smacked back. And he's been taunted into pushing someone. Regardless, the schools are not happy. So we're working on avoidance. I won't teach him that he deserves to be hit or taunted, so I'm having him suggest ways of avoiding the chronic trouble makers.
-Miss E apparently has no fear. She stopped my heart 2x at the Susan G Komen "Race for the Cure". She'd been walking next to me and in front of me and suddenly she was GONE!!!!! She apparently took it on herself to stop and was swept away by the crowd both times. Did I freak? OMFG YES! And did she freak? No. She seemed perturbed that it took me so long to find her - no fear at all. ARGH! Super N bounced along for almost the entire 5K of the "race".
-We (still) have no dishwasher. The family is tired of the same old take-out, so Friday we took the kids to Thai. The kids like deep fried taro root (I told them it was Thai French Fries). Super N LOVES chicken satay (without sauce) and chicken in mild curry. Neither likes spring rolls. Miss E... well, she didn't eat much and got hungry later on. But Super N was a total pleasure to eat with. It makes him fun to take out.
-Susan G Komen on Sunday was fun. Took BART.
-Layoffs at work shortly. At least the guess-work and speculation will end. So will some of our jobs... sigh.
-Mom R had shoulder surgery. She didn't come out of it smooth but new drugs have been acquired.
-Still no dishwasher. sigh.
-took a friend bike riding on Saturday, proving I could do that WITHOUT breaking someone. Yay.
