Awesome Kids!

Billy is being inducted into the National Honor Society this evening. Way to go, Billy!!!!

As part of the Rogate program, Kristin got to attend a lecture about the Lindbergh kidnapping -- and brought back some verrrrry interesting information I didn't know! She also did very well on her social studies final *and* dissected a frog which had tumors (ick).

And Heidi continues to "shock and awe" me with her artistic abilities. Her newest:

Hey, maybe she should start freelancing?

I finished reading Public Enemies by John Walsh. I like his TV series America's Most Wanted very much and I think he is doing the country a lot of good by drawing attention to fugitives from justice. They've captured a lot of people! What a tragic way for him to become so involved, though. For anyone who doesn't know, Walsh's then 6 year old son went missing around 25 years ago and then was found murdered. It was a horrible crime and it's never been solved. Walsh took the rage he felt and turned it to a positive force -- the series and the books he's written. Walsh comes off sounding like a tough guy and it was a bit strong at times but this is the way he is. I can't argue with his results.

Thursday Threesome

Onesome: Full-- Full? What meal fills you up the most during your day, breakfast, lunch or dinner? ...or is it the ice cream you're digging into as you wander around the blog world long past when you should be asleep ?

It could be any of the three meals, depending on what's in it. If I have eggs for breakfast, I tend to stay full until past noon. If I have something like meatloaf, I'll stay full longer into the evening.

Twosome: Moon-- Do you really think there's any truth to the popular idea that "things" happen when the moon is full? Come on, it's just us here...

I wouldn't doubt it. If the moon can affect a woman's cycle and the cycle influences moods then why wouldn't the moon also influence other cycles and other moods? Teachers swear by this -- that the kids are more rambunctious when the moon is full.

Threesome: Rising-- ...and shining?: What is your normal wakeup time on Thursday mornings? ...and can you be described as a "Morning Person" or not?

Normally I'm up between 6 and 7 in the morning on Thursdays during the school year. In the summer, I sleep until I wake up. I would say I'm more a morning person than a night owl because I have more energy before noon than after.
