- The boys have various projects due, including some biggies. One on the human brain and another on deforestation. I'm trying not to get too involved in either of these. I tell myself, "You've already passed 5th and 9th grades, it's a part of them learning responsibility."
- The high schoolers have a Spring Banquet coming up. It's a girls and boys go in pairs, kind of formality. Our son, for the first time in his life, has asked a girl on a "date". He doesn't see it like that. She's just a mate who he hangs around with at lunch-time. But he did have to ask. New territory for us all!
- David is going to Thailand on Friday morning with the seniors for eight nights. I can feel my anxiety rising, despite trying to remain calm!
- Plugging away at home assignment preparation:
- talking with the ladies who'll be living in our house (have I told you that yet?),
- seeking a home for our turtle and car,
- fielding emails from Australia about setting up house there,
- discussing when we can replace this computer: here or there,
- and so on!
- I'm working on the magazine, as usual.
- We're trying to get the spring issue out soon after the winter issue (which won't be out till the first week of April).
- Working out details with the person who's volunteered to do part of my job while we're in Australia.
- I'm tidying up the 31 Days of Prayer for Japan project for OMF. Searching out photos, marketing etc.
- This afternoon, I'm about to go to my third performance of Charlotte's Web. It is a CAJ tradition for the third grade class. This is the first year we've had our youngest in a grade where both his brothers have also been in that grade. I saw my eldest's class perform this play six years ago, somehow missed my middle son's class, it must have been a schedule clash.
Yes, life goes on and you either go with it, or you get dragged along behind.
By the way, does anyone in Tokyo want a turtle for a year?
