Tear Day

It seems that today is a tear day

One little thing set me down a path

Cleansed by salt water

Running down the cheeks

Over a six hour span

I'm spent

Yet refreshed

Authenticity accepted

Validated

Understood

From caring hearts

Outstretched over the telephone line

This Made Me Laugh This Morning

I'm a "Realist-Optimist" What are you?

The Delight of an Hour

I delight in the last hour

Talking to teenage sponges

About the effect of advertising

On the human psyche

Seeing the percent change

In their "mock stocks"

Explaining the function

Of an extensor tendon

On a big right toe

Progress made through

Sir Gawain's vocabulary

Eyes engaged - Love exchanged

Tea sipped from great-grandma's

English tea cups

A delicious hour

Savored until the last minute

Drops

Emergencies

One thing after another

Little emergencies and big

Isaac has an emergency appendectomy

Steve's dad dies suddenly

I cut my extensor tendon for my big toe

People rushing to care for their fellow man

The ebb and flow of this mass of humanity

With individual needs and fears

The mass becomes each lone heart

And we must care

We must touch

We must strive to go outside of ourselves

To hug the collective whole one heart at a time

Without this we die as a people

School and Dave Ramsey Finance Class

I love being more at home this year. Even though I am not constantly looking over my kids' shoulder during school, I am there when they need me. Sometimes they do not, sometimes they do.

Today they are taking the Dave Ramsey Finance Class Chapter 4 Test on debt. Michael already did it and got a 90%. Paul is still taking it. I REALLY like that class and highly recommend it to all home schoolers, AND their parents. I wouldn't let any kids graduate without this class. It is that important and probably the most practical class they will take.
