And so it goes

Hubby was at home sick today. We're blaming some soup that didn't agree with him. No one else ate it, he's much better 24 hrs later, thanks for asking. We're hoping that we're done with that and no one else will get ill. Touch wood.

Kid#1 is still struggling with braces. He now has lumps inside his cheeks from the constant rubbing. Only 6 more months - this round. Dental wax is our friend.

Kid#2 is still getting perfect (or higher) on his weekly French dictation. I have to admire his work ethic. We practice his new words a few times each week - almost once a day. He sets himself rules like how he will write out the hardest words 10 times, and how he will always get the bonus word right. I know a lot of MBA students who could learn from this. Actually, I could too.

I'm still way too busy but felt a lot better tonight after assembling my new shredder (well, I've had it for a few weeks but only now got it out of the box). Of course, we managed to jam it almost immediately, but hey - it's working now. It was cheap. You get what you pay for and all that. But my piles of paper are significantly lower now. And the kids have a new hobby.

And so it goes...

Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving weekend!
