—Jenna was so excited to go on the bus today.  She got the ok from the dr. to do all the walking she wants.  She got x-rays and a new cast yesterday (with the waterproof lining, thank you very much!) that she’ll need to keep on for 3 more weeks.  But walking is fine.  So, she’s all ready to go out to the bus stop–in a blizzard.  No.  So, Ryan took the girls to school on his way to work this morning and I’ll pick her up from school since it’s PHAT Friday (parents help all teachers) at school today, and I plan to go in and cut or staple or something.

–I’m fighting a nasty cold right now.  Loading up on the Cold-eez, and drinking lots of water, but my sinuses hurt and I couldn’t breathe last night because my nose was stuffed up.  I’m sneezing all over the place.  Did one of you give me this lovely cold?  I didn’t think so.

–Last night we had a “Backwards Dinner”, which just means we start with dessert.  I thought we had ice cream, but it turns out we had only a tiny bit of ice cream left, so they got to choose ice cream or red, white and blue popsicles (who knew I had those in the freezer?) for their “first course”.  The kids think that is fun, and they ate the rest of dinner without too much complaining.

–Have you seen the show “Are you smarter than a 5th grader”?  It seems like a pretty dumb show, but I let the kids watch it last night and now they aspire to be on the show as the kid helpers.  I wonder if the kids get paid?  Could be a nice side job if they didn’t have to go to California to tape it.

–Yesterday I bought a CD of 2007 Grammy Nominated artists.  I feel so hip.

–I’m planning to go see Amazing Grace with some girlfriends tonight.  Anyone seen it?
