After yesterday’s depressing (or pressurized) blog, I wanted to report on my state of health, so as not to have you worrying at my expense. It’s at 9 out of 10 today. Hooray. 10 out of 10 would be better, but I’m not one to complain… well, yesterday I was, but that’s entirely different.
Got laundry going. Taught Ancient History. Dishwasher is going. Took a shower. Made a trip to the library. I even made my bed. Things are looking up. Praise God!
Change of subject: I have the cutest nieces and nephews in the whole world. I’ve been all the way on the other side of the world too, so I speak with authority on this subject. Here is my just-turned-four-year-old nephew, dressed as a ninja for his birthday party. Yes, those are nunchucks… but they are made of foam. He is highly entertaining even without the costume and extremely intelligent… we come from the same gene pool. :o)
Funny thing about nephews and nieces, you see your siblings in them. This is my brother’s youngest son and he looks exactly like my brother… maybe even a bit cuter. My eldest son has many of my brother’s physical traits as well… his build, hair color and the shape of his feet and toe nails. Genetics are a weird deal.
To give equal time to my sister’s kids, here they are… Children of the Corn:
Darling! Each one. Thanks for letting me pull out the Auntie card today. I’m thankful to live near family and we always have lots of laughs when we’re together.
