Ronald Reagan is nice and all but ...

we must go on with our lives.

My life is routinified - it keeps me sane. Something like this:

  • Up at 7 (except today - up a 5:30) private devos (except that I sing a Psalm with Candace usually),
  • 7:30 - A & B wander downstairs for a psalm and prayer with mom and kids then we read art history,
  • 8 - make breakfast and eat at 8:30,
  • 9 - see Rob off and read Conceptual Physics,
  • 10 - do one or a combination of yoga, pilates, exercise bike, discuss Aristotle with Amy, think about meals, pay bills, make deals,
  • 11 - study Euro history with Ben,
  • 12 - Lunch (of course),
  • 1 - Some days it's lovely Eng. Language lectures some days it's Eng. Lit.
  • 2-3 Papers to grade, lesson plans to revise, usually some detail to research - you know the business.
After that, more stuff to do like look out the window for sun sightings. And oh yeah, laundry.

Sounds rather groovy - all except laundry and paying bills. Do you suppose we could "make deals" not to "pay bills". Then we'd have more time for (not laundry, too boring) all that other neat stuff.

do you guys have dryers in that land of yours? that always makes laundry better. a lot better.

Sounds like the life of a mother... :-)

Btw, Mrs. Jones... I'm peeved. You still aren't spelling REAGAN correctly... tsk, tsk...

Life is totally groovy, as you say - it's full of neat stuff.

Charity, most people don't have dryers (in a land where it rains A Lot), but we do - thank goodness.

Daniel, you know I'm not one of the best spellers in the world (putting it mildly). A thousand pardons.

But don't forget the things you do that keep US sane!

Get out lettus for those who forget their green veggies

Be a part time pilates and chicken yoga instructor

Buy cocoa

And best of all: give random hugs any time someone looks a bit droopy
