That's Life March 4, 2010

As everyone says, where does the time go!  March 4th.  I'm back in Ohio, sitting at Panera while Katelyn is in school. 

I saw a house on line last night that is $115,000.  A huge house that for some reason is just sitting there.  Once had a price tag of $280,000.  Always wonder what is going on, but it doesn't hurt to take a look. 

I'll buy it if Jeff and Amy don't want to.  It sure beats paying $900 for a dinky place.  It sounds like it has been upgraded quite a bit, so Saturday we'll see.


Making plans for being in CT in September with the NHS gang.  Always good to see them.


Amy and Jeff are trying something different with Simon and Annalise and I think I like it.  It is from a book about Parenting without Fear.  Letting kids experience frustration and consequences.  Also, helping them understand their role in the family.  Everyone helps out.  It is a good thing.  I believe kids will feel better in the long run even if they don't like it right now. 

Too many kids feel that they are entitled to everything and they can just sit and reap the rewards with no responsibility.  That's not the way to get ahead nor help society.

The Entitlement Age is what I'd call this generation. 

Annalise is just flying across the room these days.  The trampoline propels her into the couch.  She's so athletic, but needs a better venue.  Can't believe how much she has changed in 2 weeks.  Seems taller, thinner and definitely more verbal.

Had a little trouble getting her to school this morning.  She wanted to take her garage and all the princesses to Panera's for lunch.  But once we got in the car, she was fine.

Simon hates it when Annalise wants to wear her Cinderella "hair".  He thinks she looks awful and he hides it.  So funny.

Annalise came to bed with me to read books.  I know it was before 8.  So I closed my eyes and read the Nursery Rhyme book by Eloise Wilkins. 

I had trouble going to sleep last night.  I think I over stimulated myself by looking at houses for when I found the one on Glen Echo, I couldn't stop thinking.  I got up for some peanuts and then dramamine.  I guess it finally worked because I did sleep.

Annalise and I will be having lunch at Panera today.  In a moment, the internet will be cut off, better save this.


Think I'll go back and
