Hello!
The weather here is slightly overcast at the moment, but the sun is supposed to show it's face later today. I just finished reading about the fires still raging down in southern California. It's such a tragedy. So many people displaced with homes burned to the ground. I need to get in touch with my friend who lives in Temecula, California-I hope she and her family are okay. My daughter was going to a Quincinera (sorry if I spell it wrong) with her best friend and her family. The family throwing the party had it postponed due to the fires. My boss lady's husband is out there right now still trying to fight the fire. She told me that when she last spoke to him on the phone, he sounded tired and "defeated". She had never heard him speak that way. Of course, she is very worried. If you get a chance today, please send out a little prayer for California, please.
I'm working only a half day today, and if the weather doesn't get warmer, I may just do some grocery shopping with the little guy. He promised to smile for his picture day, and surprisingly he didn't fuss when I got him dressed up in his corduroys and new clothes. This kid lives in pull up shorts and t-shirts, but I want him to look nice for his picture today. I can still control what Nicholas wears, and I only wish I can do the same for my middle school aged child, who insists on sporting the "I just rolled out of bed look.." I know he isn't the only kid who likes this "look"--I've noticed that most of his friends, and the majority of the boys in his school like looking that way, but..still. Hopefully by the time he is a freshman in high school (next year) he'll want to look more presentable.
I am still thinking about taking that walk on the beach, but Nicholas has a cough that I can't ignore. Tis the season for the flu. At preschool, it is ever persistent in the air. We never got sick until our child went to preschool. Oh well, what can you do?
Speaking of sick, the receptionist is out again. (She's been out all week.) I must go and break the reception desk now. I just can't wait to see what is in store for me today. wish me luck.
Thankful list:
1. I live far away from the fires down south.
2. My son did not throw up in car today.
3. I work only until noon today.
4. I can do some grocery shopping. Our kids eat like hungry bears--we are always running out.
5. I got my son to school on time today.
6. My health
7. My kids, and wonderful husband who got me out of bed in time to wake up and take a shower. I love you.
Have a great Thursday everyone!

the beach might be perfect for your son with his cough...the salt air really has medicinal value...it would help me get rid of it quicker...my lung specialist suggests going to the beach for the air all the time!
hope you have a great friday

That receptionist must have pictures of her boss having sex with an animal or something...how else does she get away with it?
