The weekend and more

Looks like we're headed for a 22C (about 76F) day and it's nice and sunny. Maybe I can go for a walk later on.

L went to a birthday party last night, midnight pickup. Yes, the teenager years are in full swing. Luckily her devoted dad doesn't mind chauffeuring her all around the place. Her tennis teacher recommended that she get a better tennis racket, it seems the inexpensive one she owns has very weak strings. Who knew? She had a great progress report from school, only one 'good', the rest were 'excellent'. And the 'good' was on one out of about 10 sub-ratings from the History teacher. Her homeroom teacher says she's a role model.

I found some music for 'High School Musical' and K was picking it out on the piano last night. He writes good poems and the English teacher likes his oral presentations. I thought his music homework was good, he was asked to interpret a song he likes and hand it in with the CD so the teacher can mark it. Today we will work on calculating the surface area of a triangular prism. It's a tough one and he has to practice the formula. It occurred to me that maybe he doesn't understand what area means. I think I may be on to something.

I'm going to make a soup with Chinese herbs, medicinal ingredients and meat today. These herbs are purported to be good for all kinds of ailments and aid the immune system. I just like the taste.

I just answered a phone call from a charity begging for money, at 10 am on a Sunday morning! It's maddening. Well, I guess Christmas is approaching.

Lots of medical appointments this week, K has to see the orthodontist tomorrow, I see my eye doctor on Tuesday, L has a doctor appointment on Wednesday. M is overdue to set up his eye doctor appointment. He doesn't wear glasses because he doesn't feel ready for reading glasses.

I'm getting some bags ready for the CP truck which is coming soon. There is always clutter to donate. They need fall clothing this time of year. Cannot get M to part with anything.

Later...
I just noticed the 'Skillet Sensations' Stouffer meals that I spoke about are regularly $4.97. No wonder that lady had 10 bags. Still, I'll try more when they go back on sale.
