Skipping School?

Today the kids had dentist appointments...early. Early enough to get them out of school for the first half. Well, after the first visit, the dentist scheduled them to be back at one for fills. So, we went and had lunch and headed back. One of my children was so upset about missing school that they wept (the other 2 wept from pure joy of missing school). So, after successfully "skipping" school today, we went to a movie. We saw "AVATAR". My kids loved the movie so much that they tried to describe it and decided "epic" was the only word that would come close. Every time we watch a movie, I always ask each one of them what their favorite part was. This was the first time that none of them could name just one part. They said the whole movie was their favorite part.

Saturday Mourning

Saturday morning I attended a funeral with my boss. It was for a 32 year old woman that had worked for my boss years ago. She was also a regular customer. It was a very sad service. She took her own life. I never have understand how things could get so far gone that you just absolutely give up. It makes no sense whatsoever.

Random

My parents are picking up their cuckoo clock from the repair shop. It has been there for 11 years. They never thought they would see it again. They are thrilled, of course, just a little surprised when the repairman called this morning.
