1. Excellent conference today. We have such awesome parents who are SUPPORTIVE. I really appreciate people who are realistic when it comes to their kids…not defensive, and willing to be patient. Truly, I am finding out more and more that these little tics in behavior are simply developmental in nature and will pass as time goes on. Just consistently enforce the rules and try to find activities that are interesting and appealing to these kids.

2. Tonight is a LOST night. We save it for Fridays, put the kids to bed early, do candles and wine and the laptop in bed. Delicious.

3. Hammered out some more financial/managerial details with partner today. Secured our newest employee, netted an excellent volunteer. I feel professional, organized, and on top of the situation for once!

4. Three year old is WELL. Five year old is NOT…but not puking. I am feeling WELL today and so is Mr. M.

5. I made super good curried chicken with clove rice and spinach salad last night….everyone ate it, loved it and there’s more for dinner tonight!
