Monday I finished figuring out how to make a gift option for my Leatherworking course. Students (and their parents) need to sign up themselves so they can sign the liability form, but I didn’t have a way for others to gift the course and the recipient sign the liability form. Someone had asked about it last week and it took …
Awhile ago, I got student of the day at karate for beating up a 10 year old. I was commended because I wasn’t pulling my punches and was taking my training seriously. I was checking in with her to make sure she was ok, and she wasn’t that much smaller than me, but I felt a little bad after the …
Monday I had a slow start to the day, and it wasn’t super productive. Tuesday we went to music lessons, then I dropped them off at home and drove Jeremy to the VA center for the shot in his back. It was late enough in the day that we didn’t get back until after karate was over, so we missed …
Ocean was playing with a pretend gun he made out of a hot wheels race track launcher: “Someday, I think the bugs are going to be big enough for us to shoot!” Me: “Um, that does not sound fun.” Him: “No, it’ll be just like that shooting game on steam!” (Earth Defense Force, and you fight giant spiders and ants) …
Monday the kids and I had eye appointments. Sunshine and my prescriptions changed slightly, it was recommended that the boys wear blue blocking glasses when they’re using screens. Ocean could also use reading glasses, though he doesn’t need them badly. The eye doc mentioned that needing them could result in him acting up when it comes to reading. He won’t …
River, after getting his braces on, walking into Whole Foods with me while I tried to get him to hold my hand: “No” Me: “Why not?” River: “Because I have braces now” Me: “And there’s a correlation between having braces and not holding my hand?” River: “Yes. I’m a big kid now” Me: “But daddy still holds my hand” River: …
Monday I took my time getting up. I was tired, but not as exhausted as I thought I’d be, though I did have a headache. I ran a couple errands, then cleared out my email inboxes that I’d been ignoring for the last couple weeks. I had planned to go for a run, but I was too tired. We celebrated …
Jeremy, talking about the boys taking baths and running around naked afterward: “Mom and I take baths and we don’t run around naked afterwards.” River: “Ewww” Me: “You do so run around naked after your bath.” River: “Eww, you’re grownups!” Jeremy, Sunshine, and I busted up laughing. Jeremy: “I thought he was going to say ‘gross’, not ‘grownups’” (his usual …
Monday I got up early to go get a blood draw done to investigate an issue that popped up with the 24 hour pee collection. I had planned on going for a run with Max afterwards, but I ended up laying around for awhile because I was tired- I didn’t sleep well and I was still feeling run down and …
At the Mennonite store, Ocean wanted his picture taken with photo op board. Afterwards, he said: “The goat looks like a demon!” Me: “Because of the horns?” Ocean: “Yeah!”
