I love us


Jeff's not big on cards, who can really blame him. They cost $5 and they get lost or thrown out on accident. So the next best thing, a virtual one. Thanks Halmark. In all seriousness though, this is exactly how I feel. If I bought a card it would have said this.
And we made him a cute valentine card with a banana on the front and a monkey inside that actually talks (learned how to cut it so the mouth pops out and moves in first grade!) he says "we're just bananas about you". AND we made it made it to his desk at work! Must mean he really likes it cuz nothing is on his desk. It is spic and span. You'd think that no one worked there. Just another reason I love my quirky husband. Love you babe (yes, BABE, and not pal) thanks for taking good care of this family.

My current obsession

Raising Cain, The Emotional Lives of Boys. Read it, just do it. It's only 258 pages long and it will change how you view and interact with boys. If you have a boy in your life, whether you're a parent, teacher, mentor or friend, you need to read this.
"...But as their manuscript progressed, Kindlon and Thompson realized a simple "how-to" would not do. "In the end," they write, "we found that the best advice we had to offer was simply to understand boys as they truly are ­ rather than as they appear or as we wish them to be. Our deepest wish is to pull aside the curtain boys so tenaciously draw around themselves and offer you a look inside their hearts and minds. If we succeed, we hope that you will see more clearly the ways in which our culture conspires to limit and undermine their emotional lives. We hope you will understand boys better, and above all, we hope you will enjoy them more"
