So as of November 19, I'll be employed elsewhere!

Exciting!

#1 son came home with a super fat lip and a paste of turmeric was suggested in my Google, but he wasn't going for that. I did manage to get him to ice, and apply honey. He tried a tea bag for a half second but said it stung too bad(odd huh?)

No clue what happened. Best guess is maybe a bug bite, but it is pretty huge and nasty looking. It did respond somewhat to the ice so I drugged him and sent him to bed.

New job and then house guest! Seriously, if you guys need a break, I can plead for another bed under another roof.

sara, you can help me move boxes into my new classroom at my new school!!

You know I like being given a task! Otherwise, I don't know what to do once I've done All The Dishes.

Always play with the kids!

Well, that's a given. Though I found it hilarious when my novelty would wear off, because then I was entertained with the sound of siblings playing together, oblivious to anyone else.

Tumeric is an up-and-comer because it supposedly can reduce incidence of cancer.

It's supposed to be good for inflammation, too. Tim takes it in capsule form for his arthritic hands, though I'm not sure how much (if at all) it helps. One of our hippie friends recommended a "tea" made with turmeric, ginger, lemon, honey, and hot water. I don't know if we need to buy whole turmeric and ginger roots and grate them fresh, or if we can use the powdered form in the spice rack.

I'm so excited to see you.

I take cinnamon pills for diabetes, but I don't know if it helps. I'm very bad about tracking these things.

I'm glad I ignored my downer eyeore and booked it. I get ..fussy about leaving town, especially this time of year. But I never regret it. And now I can't wait to see you guys!
