Well, this week I have come to have a greater appreciation for Heidi and the things that she does. Most of the times we are invited to parties it is because of her. We got invited to an 80's karioke party but the requirement is that you sing. We probably will borrow some wigs like Heidi's brother's used to do. I don't know if I really know any 80s music. I am still young. It is funny that the 70s music is coming back.
So the lot that Susan wanted apparently has another offer; however, we don't know if it actually came in. I think they are waiting to see. I can't imagine that it would be higher than the asking price initially. We sweetened up the other details and sent it out. Hopefully, the seller agent will move the process along...
I am grateful that Heidi is such a good teacher and patient. A lot of times I think of it as being with kids but she has made me less analytical and more emotional...as much as a introvert can be. When I first heard of being an introvert, I thought it was a bad thing; however, it just is how you get energy. Do you get energized by being alone or by being around people. Sometimes it changes over time. I tend to get reenergized when I am alone thinking.
Alot of changes I have made to myself have been because she was able to point out ways that I can develop a stronger emotional connection, or what not to say or how to say it.
We started watching Lost as our show until a few more movies come to redbox. We restarted our budget successfully of putting a set amount of money in a debit card account according to our budget and then when it runs out it runs out. The budget isn't suffocating but rather let's Heidi spend it how she wants. She did a great job with it and it has been great. No more questioning slushies at Sonic. She can do what she wants.
I taught Halley's primary class today and realized that if I want to help our kids learn, I should try to pair what we teach along with what they learn in their classes. I can do a much better job and it will help reinforce what they learn and give them more opportunities to share their thoughts.
Halley is doing a good job reading and is getting into 1st grade reading material. She is such a good memorizer and has picked up piano pretty well, even though we have only had time to spend with her once a week.

Ahhhh... Lost... you'll get hooked. That's so great that your kids have a teacher for a Mom; they'll always be way ahead as a result. I'm still having major anxiety over this Lot! Crossing my fingers!
ReplyDeleteI got halfway through the first season, and then Lost started getting weird, so I just read the plot summaries for everything until the end of the series. Yay for Halley reading so well!
ReplyDeleteYea (or current spelling yay) for plot summaries. I have saved myself from so many bad shows and movies by reading them. Love you.
DeleteIt may be surprising for someone who likes science fiction and fantasy, but I never had a desire to watch Lost. I might have liked it, but it just seemed too weird. You are a good father and a good husband and have a wonderful family. Love you all.
