Turn Grandma On

A couple of days ago, I discovered that my daughter had a webcam.  (News to me!)  In short order, we figured out how to transmit to each other.  Ryan (almost 3) put the microphone in his mouth and was hard to understand.  Robin (newly 4) did the "chicken dance" on camera for me.  When I was at school today, apparently Ryan kept asking his mother to "turn Grandma on."  Don't I wish someone could!!

I have started Romeo and Juliet with my honors class.  Should be fun.  They are excited!  The other classes are reading the play of The Diary of Anne Frank.  Keeps me busy!  I was somewhat honked off today by a youngster to whom I have loaned $2 for lunch money.  He was telling some other student that the other kid owed him money...which was my motivation to say, "And you owe ME money."  His response?  "I don't owe you anything."  That shut down the sympathy train for me.  He also failed, expectedly, to serve a lunch detention that I had issued him for another reason.  I'm done working with him!

I found out via email today that my niece, Laurie, reads this blog.  Hi, Laurie!  I really, really wanted to be with you all for Thanksgiving, but when I found out that Nathan's mother was going to be gone for the holiday (leaving that part of the "family" adrift), I knew that I had to do the dinner here.  I will see you all at Christmas.  Count on it!

The doctors want to keep Major Pat another couple of days.  He is quite inconsolable.  I told him that when he gets back from this, no stone will have been unturned by way of his health.  In that respect, he is lucky!  He is not so sure...

Time for bed, here.  I am blessed with friends to whom I owe so much.  Thanks to all who have stuck with me through the years, in spite of my stubbornness.

Nightie!
