love, logic, hormones

The birthdays are creeping up. Today I'll get an updated wish list from the girls. I found American Girl dolls for them on eBay, that's probably all they'll get from us but I know they'll be thrilled. We'll have a small party at home with cousins, then another day they'll be able to take one friend each to the H2Oasis water park.

Their schools use the Love and Logic methods for classroom management. BossLady and I talked about it over breakfast this morning, and she said she prefers the more traditional style of her old school. I've been reading up on Love and Logic and I think it's worth trying at home.... finally. Everyone's approach to parenting is different - it all seems like common sense - but I don't mind needing a book or a method because I have almost no patience and even less common sense!

K's up in Nome and Golovin for a couple of days while his dad, brother, and sister-in-law are there. When he gets back he'll start his September schedule, flying on the weekends.

Health-wise, I don't seem to have any immune system issues right now, or breathing problems, but I had something else come out of left field... There's quite a bit of TMI but it comes down to a good possibility that I'm "approaching menopause". Just what K and the kids need: me, hormonally imbalanced AGAIN.

Sometimes you just have to laugh and move on.
