I forgot that May also brings the flare up of Matthew’s asthma. Poor thing. Just coughing away, and the meds make either sick to his stomach or wide awake, or both. I have a feeling we’re going to end up at the doctor, but maybe not. He had 2 breathing treatments yesterday and then one this morning before he left for school…

He’s been reading. We’ve gone from an infatuation with the Secret of Droon series, to Magic Treehouse series (we ordered 12 books but they haven’t come in yet) and now he’s on the A-Z Mysteries. He checked out A-D at the library on Saturday. We started to read it together, and had gotten all the way to chapter 4 and then he wanted to read and I didn’t have a free minute right then, so he started without me and he finished the book, so now I don’t know what happened to Wallis Wallace. I guess I’ll have to sneak back and read it sometime.

I finished the Da Vinci Code yesterday at lunch time. Just in time! My books from Barnes & Noble were delivered and waiting for me when I got home from work. I’m taking some classes through Barnes & Noble University. They aren’t for credit classes, but they are free. All you have to do is buy the book. So this month I’m taking a Crime Scene Investigation course and it’s neat. I’m two lessons into it and not only do you learn the text book version of what they do but we get to work on two cases as well. So it’s kinda neat. Next month, my friend Erin and I are going to take a class on “How to think like an editor and get published”. I’m not really into getting published, but she is, and I think it would be a good course.

Just got the kids off to school, so I guess I better get around and get going myself…it’s only Tuesday….ugh…

Until next time…
