On My Mind Monday 16

I started out this morning completely forgetting that 4 of 5 had school this morning. For some reason I woke up thinking today was Tuesday. And my kids are off track, so it didn't even dawn on me that the bus was waiting for her at 9 am, until he called. Plus, no one got up until 8 (It was a late night last night because we went to a fireside that Kenneth Cope spoke and sang at, and I am in the middle of reading "The Life of Our Lord" by Charles Dickens to the kids, which put the kids to bed at 9:30) 4 of 5 came up and said "mom poop" and by the time I got her undressed, it was everywhere. I didn't have time to get my barrings, when the bus driver called, enough to tell him she was staying home this morning because she didn't feel well. So, I am crossing my fingers. But, she did get a bath before school this morning, and her hair brushed.

So on my mind to day, was a question posed by Cope last night. DO we do the right thing because were afraid of what might happen if we don't? Or do we do the right thing because we want to. He talked a lot about self esteem, and that our bodies were not who we are. They are like our clothes, just something on top of who we are.

For my DS tidbit I am just going to re post the web site i put on my post from yesterday. Yes, I am running out of things to say. Reeses Rainbow.

I cannot believe that it is more than half way through Oct. Before we know it it is going to be Christmas.

And for my grateful moment. I am gratfelu for the Blog. I have to say, It is so nice to be able to keep in touch with people that have moved, or the friends that I don't get to chat with very often. I love knowing what your families are up to, and I really enjoy reading about what your kids have done. Sometimes it is a comfort to know that your kids do the same thing as mine, and the same things frustrate you. SO, Thank you!
