Out of Half and Half

I was going to talk about the Pres yesterday saying he has the right to kill anyone including Americans but I didn’t think many of you would care, so I thought I’d address something more important, we’re out of half and half for our coffee! I wonder what kind of uproar would be going on if George Bush were still in office. I bet it would be on the front page of every paper and their would be protests in the streets over a Pres saying he can kill any American at any time. The funny thing is all these things the Pres now does are the same things he feverishly campaigned against when he was a senator and when George was in office. My how things change. Scary times, thankfully at least a dozen democratic senators have a problem with this. I could go on and on but as I said, we’re out of freakin coffee creamer!

Today the misses is working at the dermatologists office as the electrician is coming in and she needs to show them where to hang some lights. The dogs are finally going to the groomer as well which is long overdue. Too bad it’s going to snow this weekend as they’ll be getting all dirty again but we can’t wait any longer.

The youngest just came down and it’s only 5:15. He says he has some homework to do. The oldest and I didn’t make it to the store for his baseball cleats as he had a school project he wanted to get done. We’ll try to get there today.

The misses has another meeting wearing her social media director hat tomorrow for another doctor and might take on our friends business as another client. She’s really busy these days with a lot of irons in the fire, good for her. Time for me to read the paper and see what I can use for coffee creamer so here’s the misses…..

The oldest’s school project was creating a model of a plant or an animal cell.  We stopped at the dollar store for multi colors of play dough and made a homemade batch of white dough for the Cytoplasm.  My Grandma used to make play dough for me when she lived with us. She always put food coloring in for the desired color of dough I requested. The oldest finished his master piece and used the computer to type the names of the cell parts and print them in the colored text to match.  He cut out the names and a definition and glued the papers to different sized tooth picks and skewers.  After that he placed the flags(so to speak)in the coordinating part of the cell. It looks pretty cool and it is not due until Friday.  Way to get the project out of the way!

The youngest had a Student Council meeting yesterday.  Right now the kids are collecting “Pennies for Patients”. They are collecting spare change to donate to the kiddos with cancer at Children’s Hospital.  The Council has to come up with the ideas on there own.  As I have mentioned in a previous post one of their classmates has been battling cancer since 2008.  Sometimes he comes to school with his IV attached…lately he has been too weak to make it. Earlier this year the students raised $4000. dollars to donate to his medical bills…5 years of Dr. bills even with insurance has got to be overwhelming. So, now it is “Pennies for Patients”…We are blessed to have such compassionate kiddos at our school.

The oldest is still fast asleep and the reason for the youngest getting up so early is that he fell asleep a few minutes after 7p.m. while I was reading Lord of The Rings to him.  The first few chapters of the book don’t quite grab you quite the the opening sequence of the movie. We will see how it goes…

I am off to start breakfast.  Have a great day.

God Bless
