Birthday blogging musings

To my faithful friend April I must apologize for not getting back to her/you sooner. Thanks for the comments on my blogs I appreciate you for that. As for missing my birthday, it ain't no big deal, really, I promise. I was mostly putting it on there just because I can and sometimes its fun to promote yourself, if you know what I mean.

Anyway, I enjoy looking at pictures of you and your little family and can so relate to a lot of what you're saying. As for the tofu, I probably have never had it prepared correctly, so I don't think I like it. I might if you shared some with me some day.

I have been so busy working and college that I haven't had time for much anything else (housework included, although I do try).

We acquired a donor VW bus yesterday afternoon and James is busily cleaning and working on both. And trying to decide whether or not to use the donor bus for body parts on Miss Sunny or make it into a ratride/worktruck for himself. Obviously he is torn because the donor bus is in such perfect condition bodywise. The inside is completely gutted and there are no door handles to speak of.

A sad note to mention, our betta fish died sometime during the night/early morning hours yesterday and I had to flush him - it was sad, Carli cried and promptly announced she would like to have another fish, but a different one and she will not name it 'Super Hero' for fear it will end up the same as the first.

School is going well for Carli. Her most recent report card/conference indicates she is continuing to learn and do well in her studies. She is still progressing and I am hoping by the end of the school year she will get x's (which indicates mastery) instead of +'s (which indicates progression). She is at grade level and is in the highest reading group for First Grade. In DIBELS in oral reading fluency she is at 96 words per minute.

School is going well for me as I am nearing my 6th week of classes and can't wait to complete HUM205 and AED200. I only have one class beginning in April - AED201. Should be interesting!

Tell Carli that we're sorry to hear about Super Hero's demise. I wonder what his/her cryptonyte was? I'm sure James will work out the Vdub bus situation...at the very least, it will keep him busy and out of your hair for awhile. CMB has been in TX since last Tuesday and we're expecting him back tonight around 7. Other than that, we've just been hanging around the house being crafty...

Thanks for the condolences. I will let her know. I like the fact that he has something else to keep him busy besides sitting on his computer chatting on Samba.com - which is ok since I do a lot of chatting elsewhere myself. Anyway, being crafty is always fun and a great way to spend mommy/daughter time together.
