As I’m sure you’ve noticed this week, it has been harder and harder to find the time to add a blog post on a daily basis. I remain committed to the blog. It is something that I actually enjoy taking part of. We are still getting into the swing of things with a morning routine including a 6 1/2 month old. Have no fear, we’re not going anywhere.
Are the Reds jinxed?
They’ve already produced their National League Central Champions t-shirts. I know they don’t just magically appear but I wish they wouldn’t talk about it until it actually takes place. Interestingly enough, the Reds store will be open for 24 hours immediately after the Reds victory (whenever it happens) and the t-shirts will be on sale on the internet minutes after the final out. I’m sure you can figure out one of the people who will be buying (whenever it happens).
Open House was enjoyable. Mr. Joseph and I present together and I think we get better and better each year. It seemed that the parents were entertained and were pleased with what they heard from us regarding our expectations. This is going to be a great year. Plus it gives me an opportunity to come in and say, “I met your mommy” over and over.
I’m starting to add new practice tests to the Practice Quiz page. Our first full test will take place on Native Americans in early October. The actual date will be announced shortly.
Saturday is Worldwide Day of Play. Michelle Obama will give a special message encouraging families to turn off their televisions and computers and go out to play. In fact, Nickelodeon and all the Nick stations will go completely dark for 3 hours (noon to 3 pm) to encourage kids to go outside. Sounds like a good idea in my book. We don’t go outside enough and enjoy the fresh air. Count me in. Plus we’re supposed to have great weather.
