Creative Title: Thursday

Today was a good day. No classes after school, no major blow ups, bathtime with Henry... I really like my life on days like these. Of course, tomorrow will be far more hectic. For one, Henry's is coming to school with me. Second, we're driving down to Tennessee. I have to decide how to handle the motion sickness in a way that will allow me to actually drive.

The big excitement of my life? There's a documentary on tonight about feral children. Woo hoo!

Is Wednesday really almost over?

So this week is really flying by! Yesterday was over before I'd really realized it had started. I started another class on Monday, which isn't really all that exciting. Lots of projects, but no exams. I know most of the people in the class, which means that group projects will be more interesting. Unfortunately, the class meets for two-and-a-half hours each time, twice a week. It really taxes my attention span.

I took Henry to the vet yesterday about the puking. Four thoughts: 1) food allergy, 2) something funky stuck in his stomach and rolling around, 3) thickening of the muscle at the spot where his stomach meets his small intestine, or 4) some spirea-something-ish-thing that is like a bacteria only not. We're going to change his food and see if that calms down the puke. Maybe it really is a food allergy. It that doesn't help, he'll have to have endoscopic surgery to look into things. Its nothing life threatening, but we're tired of cleaning up puppy puke. He's still cute, though, even when he's pukey.

The weather is beautiful. We ate dinner outside on the deck last night and walked for ice cream at Mountain Frost. I've learned how to order just one scoop of ice cream. I think that is a miracle in itself. Man. I love ice cream.

Hooray for me!

I have good news! Drum roll, please... Ta da! I made three As this semester in grade school! (That's an A in every class I took, mind you.) I wasn't expecting to get my grades back for awhile, but I checked in today, and I was pleasantly surprised. It makes all the work worth it to see those grades. Now if only I was as good at dieting as I am at grad school...

We did a lot of nothing today, aside from seeing "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." It was really good. I liked it. Now I'm going to start reading the books. Troy assures me that I'll enjoy them.

The weather today was beautiful. I just went out and sat with Henry in the grass for awhile. The sun was warming us, and there was a little breeze. It won't get that much hotter, really, but the humidity will be the downside to the summer. Okay, that and Seminar in Special Education. But I'll survive it.

Henry will be one year old in a week. He was eight weeks old (give or take several days) when we brought him home on July 15th. So I'm picking May 15th to be his birthday. Not that he gets any presents- he's eaten enough of our inedibles around the house. But an extra hug and kiss to let him know we love him, perhaps. We really do love him.
