A very special "Happy Birthday" to Beppe today. Now it's not very polite to broadcast a lady's age so I won't tell you but I will just say that she is now at a usual retirement age. B & P came over late this afternoon to play dominoes. It was a chilly, rainy day today so I made apple crisp for her birthday instead of cake. That's a good fall dessert and that's what it felt like today. Their small group from church had a picnic after church today and they had a cake for her there.
Unfortunately our kids were on the grumpy and not listening side of things tonight. Madison's tears later on told the story that I was expecting... she doesn't want to go to school tomorrow. Change isn't easy and she's having a hard time with the big changes in structure they made this year. All the 5th graders are switching back and forth between 2 classrooms and 2 teachers this year. In the am she has math/science in one classroom and in the pm she has social studies/reading with another. They can't leave supplies in a desk... just in their lockers. It has a little bit of the junior high flavor to it but I personally think it's a bit young. This is the first year for the school to try this so we'll see how it goes. The school also has a new late homework policy that she is worried about. If you have ANY late homework days you have to stay after school (no warnings etc...). So, she's all worried about that. Even though she doesn't hand homework in late, she's worried about it. Change is usually not easy but it's pretty much a guaranteed part of life isn't it?
Well I hope you all have a good week this week. Today in Sunday School we talked about how we spend our time... so I'm going to try and make a conscious effort to analyze my time this week. May be I'll write more about that later.
Love, Leah
