The World According to Leslie

Today, I’m thankful for our health.   Tony is tired. That could be because he works to hard.   I have allergies. But… well…I’m used to those.   The Princess has an ear infection. We got the antibiotic yesterday. It started on Saturday. She was screaming in pain then. Now, it’s just eewy-gooey stuff that’s draining from it.  In a couple of days, she will be back to normal.   I’m glad that for the past couple of years, we have not had to worry about flu, colds, or any of those big illnesses that have gone around.

Yesterday at work, we had a “suspicious package” scare. Turned out that it was only a briefcase that a kid had brought in on Friday for a project; it was probably at the school all weekend, but no one noticed.    We had the “fun” of first loading into the gym. Then we went to class. Then we were evacuated.  (All of this was done on the advice of local law enforcement and the bomb squad.)   Finally, after TWO hours of being outside in the wind and cold on the metal seats of the stadium bleachers, we were released to go back into the school and have a “normal” day.   It was far more interesting than it should have been, but in these days and times….. well, you never know what *could* have been in the briefcase.   So, today, I’m thankful for the men and women who put their lives on the line for me every day. They work as part of local law enforcement, firefighters, EMTs. They also serve as part of the US Military. Every chance I get, and I try ...

This year, since we moved, I moved the Princess to a new school.  (I never should have done that!)  However, I did.  We really aren't impressed with the school.  But, it's the district we live in.  So, I guess she will be there ONE more year....next year for 5th grade.  Then she will go to middle school.  (Her middle school has a new principal this year, and I really like her.  I'm hoping she will stick around until Chasity gets there...and is finished there.) The latest problem is that my munchkin has ear inf...
