I'm thinking that I need to have a category named "Kid's Toys that Can Double as Psychological Torture Devices."
Last Saturday Chuck took the boys down to Buda's brand-spanking-new-behemoth-outdoorsman's-stuff-mart, Cabela's. The last time we were in Cabela's was 2 summers ago on our way back from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We stopped at the one outside of Minneapolis. We hadn't really planned to, but there was a tornado ripping through a near-by field and we just felt a little safer in a big, sturdy building. Who'd 'o thunk, live in TX for 15 years, and then get caught in a Tornado in MN on vacation?

A couple of weeks ago I received a summons to Jury Duty.
I was excited to receive the summons. Never before had I been called to Jury Duty! For a long time I was not a registered voter. Being a Jehovah's Witness precludes involvement in politics – even your civil duties - because Christians are to be IN the world, not OF the world. It made sense to me then; but, have they read the Old Testament? One sure way to end up on the business end of God’s wrath was to be King and lead your nation away from God’s law. It occurred to me that, in a Democracy, it's We The People who bear that accountability so it behooves me to vote. I'm no longer a Jehovah's Witness, but that's another story....

We were at Cool Cuts on Friday because Alex needed a haircut, and I "don't try that one at home":http://gooblink.com/blog/index.php?id=17. The place was teaming with toddlers in for their first haircuts, unsuspecting and enamoured by the toys and videos.
Kids have it made these days! When my sister, brother or I needed a cut, my mom just had one of her friends who had gone to beauty school come over and barter for a bottle of Ripple.

At the risk of waxing on like a Cleaveresque housewife that has too much time on her Playtex protected hands, let me just say that the new "Spray 'n Wash Dual Power" product has revolutionized the way stubborn stains are removed from clothing in the Adam's household.
This stuff totally changes the way I play Extreme Stain Removal (ESR). For example, I once had a white cotton knit sweater, indeed, it was my favorite. Unfortunately, it was splattered with some kind of fruit juice; I don't remember which, blueberry? Strawberry? No matter. The point is that there was a stain right in the middle of the sweater that I didn't notice until it had been permanently baked in through the dry cycle.

This week I'm going to begin the planning of our upcoming school year. I've already decided on the units I want to cover, but need to get busy matching lessons to the calendar. This year we'll be focusing on the following character traits: responsibility, patience, stewardship, determination, self-control and resourcefulness. As I peruse my list I wonder if I'm planning this school year as much for my education as for the boys'.
