Well, today was the first day back to school for the kids. Billy is satisfied with his schedule. He is taking a class with a 15 year old kid who self-taught himself at home. He's so advanced that the administrators just skipped him to AP classes. Wow! Heidi and Kristin don't have any classes with their friends from last year. I see it as an opportunity to meet new people but you can't tell that to a kid and expect them to be okay with that.
I had Little T this morning and he was in such a great mood! He has got the sweetest disposition.
Michele is going to be induced on Thursday morning if Nikolas chooses not to make an appearance between now and then. Poor Michele. I know that she's very uncomfortable right now.
Kennan stopped by to visit T and, once again, Linda was busy on the computer. It's working out really well ;) Kennan gets quality time with his baby and not much opportunity to try and manipulate Linda.
The only bad thing about today was that TB accidentally took too much of his pain medicine and was feeling loopy. He thought it was the decongestant and he didn't have his glasses on. Never take medication without checking first to see what it is and it's a terrible idea to take meds without your glasses on! I used to go into my medicine closet in the dark and pull out what I believed to be my evening med. Luckily I've never swallowed anything bad but what happened today has made me swear off that practice. Pills are to be taken with the lights and the glasses on!
Ten Things You'd Save if Your House Was on Fire
Assuming TB, Linda, the kids, Tomas, the cats and even that dumb dog are out safely:
1. my photo albums
2. my pictures that are hung up
3. my computer
4. my books
5. my ideas for stories
6. my family history
7. my CDs
8. my DVDs
9. my guitar
10. my rocker!
I'm sick of politics, sick of war, let's do something FUN this week. I saw the headline Viking burial site found in England and wondered when the space probe had gone down there. Of course it wasn't about the space probe but about the ORIGINAL Vikings.
That got me to thinking. Are we losing our perspective on long past events because of how quickly things changed in the 20th Century? And if you don't like that question, then how about, were there any archeological finds in your lifetime that sparked your interest enough to investigate further?
I am busy being mind-boggled with all of the amazing changes in the 20th century. I?m sure that we?re going to have to leave off studying ancient cultures in depth to leave room for all of the events and changes we?ve experienced in the last hundred years! Even the 1960s now seems like ancient history, and that was my growing up years!
It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea.

I am not entirely sure this is true. The radical Jerry Rubin isn?t much like the conservative Rubin. Beyond that, I suppose it?s normal for the views of young people to be opposite of their elders. As they grow older, their children?s views are more like the grandparents. These young people find themselves on opposite sides of the fence with their kids. It?s normal I think.
