"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure."
- John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day

RIGHT NOW, and then again tomorrow and then again the next day and on it goes day after day,
1/2 OF THE WORLD lives on LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS each day.

Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Do all you can and don't worry about the odds against you. Wield the miracle of life's energy, never worrying whether we fail, concerned only that whether we fail or succeed we do so with all our might. That's all we need to know to feel certain that all our force of diligent effort is worth our while on Earth.
Carl Safina, Voyage of the Turtle

More Ramblings

I have been in contact with Ve's escort, GR, and so far everything is progressing as hoped....BTW I, along with a friend will be picking up Ve at a nearby state's major airport terminal. They will be arriving at 11:55 pm Friday night. My plan is to work Friday, then right after school take off to the airport that is located 4 hours away. It will be busy the next few days.

Today, and then again last night, I have had symptoms of the flu. I spent much time in the bathroom last night. Tuks was allowed to watch as much TV as she wanted (certainly didn't win Mother of the year award last night) as I laid resting on the couch between my trips to the porcelain god. After school today we will be picking up my niece N and she will be spending the night so I will have two girls to get to their proper schools tomorrow morning.

I am also finishing up a long term project/unit with my 8th graders so I don't think I can afford taking any time off until next week, otherwise I might have taken off today since I am feeling so under the weather. In addition mid-quarter grades are due this week so I need to finish grading all current labs and activities....

Ok, enough ramblings for now, LOL......................

I'm so sorry about you being sick. It's exciting that Ve will be home SO SOON!!! Praying you'll be all better very quickly and for all the inevitable adjustments as you welcome your new daughter.
