The thing about people who are 57 is that I'm jealous of the music they had to listen to through their teens and twenties!!! I agree age is just a number and if we take care of ourselves, we have even more to offer when we are older than when we were young and red and naive.

What am I missing? I'd have baked you a cake. But, you are so far away...I'd have to be the one to eat it. EEK! Happy Birthday tomorrow! (It probably isn't even your birthday, and Marcia is just doing that. She does stuff like that all the time). How did Marcia know it’s your birthday tomorrow? What am I missing?

Things are winding down here. Thanks for the nice comment, and if you're ever "touring" near the high desert, I'll get you to tell my kids a story! Sounds like a great story with a great moral!

Making a list is the only way to survive sometimes, isn't it? And, what a great feeling when you can mark something off.I wish I could sit with you and tell you a story I tell to kids. It's about a little girl who filled out a "hundred-year" calendar with a list of all the things she had to do. She got so excited about marking things off the list that she just kept doing them until she had marked off every day. She turned into an old woman, because she had used up all her life. The moral: It pays to be organized, but not <strong>too</strong> organized. Remember that you still have a life! Hope life is going your way!

It's kind of in my teacher planning area, so they probably don't really notice it, but you never know . . . these kids notice everything. Tomorrow's my B-day so I am sure I'll get some RnR.

Enjoy it. I do great with the list part and breaking it down into smaller parts to reassemble. It is the reading the list once it is made that I have a problem with, I am too easily distracted. Putting your list on the wall at school set a great example for the children! Ah, a break to breathe in the life around you. . . Enjoy it.

That's a busy week. The last week of school seems to be busier than the entire year combined for some reason. This year it's a little better for us because of the varying times the kid's school year are ending. They graduated the 8th grade a week early for some reason, but my 6th and 7th graders are still in school until the 12th making up snow days. My other daughter finished her finals yesterday. The day the littlest two get done this year is the same day summer school starts at the high school. So much for a having a little break in between!!! What can you do, right??? Glad to hear your hecticness is calming down a bit!! Jessica Wow. That’s a busy week. The last week of school seems to be busier than the entire year combined for some reason.
