I'm still here

Figure I should update this somewhat. Let's see ... I'm sick. Again. Some kind of cold thing. Grumble, grumble. School has started. So far, so good, though I'm sick of take-home projects already. What ever happened to normal homework like math or reading? Not much of a touchy-feely kind of person so the "me-bag" and "me-collage" didn't go over too big with me. Um, the kids have known each other for the past couple of years. I somehow doubt a me-bag is going to tell them anything new. I know, I know, it's for the teacher to get to know them ... but after a couple of weeks, I'm sure she'll know more than she wants to so what's the point other than to irritate me? *ahem*

Anyway, younger daughter learned to tie her shoes. I'm happy for her, but what do you do when she doesn't tie them tight enough? Let her go and figure it out later as she trips over the laces? I've kind of done the "you tie one, I'll tie the other routine." Don't want to discourage her, but I also don't want her to break her neck.

Had our first soccer game over the weekend. My daughter's team won. She scored her first goal. Be curious to see how her interest in the sport develops (or doesn't as the case may be).

Let's see, anything else? Not really. Just tired of coughing.
