Don’t forget to send a postcard!

At work, we send out daily reports to some of our clients. The reports are sent ‘from’ a ‘reports@ourcompany.com’ email address. One of my jobs is to monitor the inbox for that email address.

Whenever I get ‘Out of Office’ replies from someone - you know “I will be out of the office until . If this is an emergency, please contact ” - Whenever I get those, I think nice “Hope you’re having a great vacation!” thoughts for the person who’s getting away for a while.

Wish we could have just stayed home today

This morning, Annie said “I wish I didn’t have to go to school today so that I could stay home and finish reading my book”. It’s a Junie B Jones from the library, but, still - she’s enjoying reading a chapter book by herself & that’s awesome. She started it last night, while Shelby & I finally found time to sit down & watch some more of Sunday night’s National Park documentary. We’ve still got an hour of that one to go, then there’s the one that recorded last night.

Days like this, I wish we were home schooling or unschooling. But, I also know that there are things that they get from the schools that they would never get if they were home with us all day.

Al’s College Radio debut

Well, kind of - she was on the radio last summer, too when she was at radio camp…

And, she’s going to have a mentor with her today, too.

But, starting tonight at 5:55pm CT, she’s taking a few shifts a week at http://www.wonc.org/ (streams live online + 89.1 FM in the Chicago suburbs)

I’m so excited for her :-)
