This is the first day I have really not wanted to do school with Mari. I was sort of hoping that would never happen. I'm just being lazy though. It is, thankfully, nothing deeper than that. Long, fairly busy weekend and lack of sleep (Luci was up with leg pains last night, I was stuck sitting beside her bed massaging her legs for what felt like an hour, but was probably more like 20 minutes). I think she is going through a growth spurt. I also think this child is going to be tall. Her birthfather is 6'2". Though her birthmother was only 5'6", she obviously has the genes. It will be very funny someday when this tall, blonde, bombshell (she has the genes for the bombshell part too!) stands next to her short daddy. Brad and I both think Mari is the only one that will not end up taller than us. We shall see...

Okay...'nuff stalling. I'm going to go "do school" now. It is cold, but bright and sunny outside. Maybe we'll go for a nature walk this afternoon and see how things have changed since all the leaves fell off the trees. I need to start a nature journal for Maria and Zoe both. I'll have to do some research on that. It would be fun to start one either in the dead of winter and go all the way to fall again, or start it in the spring and go through the winter. The first really appeals to my poetic side...

All right! I'm going. I'm going...

Bananas, bananas, bananas - that's my remedy for growth pains.

I push them on her constantly, but she isn't biting. She ate about 1/3 of one last night about 7pm. She used to love bananas, but no so much anymore. :(

Hum. I got nothing if she doesn't want bananas. I wonder if a banana milkshake would do the trick?

I definitely have my days where I don't want to do school. We didn't do much last Thursday because of having to do holiday stuff, and then not a lot on Friday because I wasn't feeling well. (I asked Dave to work with her, but that didn't happen. Sigh.) I figure, hey, I'm planning to go year-round. A day here and there won't be a big deal. ;)
