Happy morning

This morning Dairbhre got me up at 6:18. I actually woke up rather cheerful, as I have been lately. We found we were out of milk so we ran to the store. Such a novelty, to run to the store at 6:30 in the morning, just me and my little man. After not having a car for so long it's so weird to have that option. Good weird.

I got a lot accomplished before I turned on the computer at about 11:00. I wanted to share a couple of really great articles I read this morning:

From Scott Noelle: What is 'Unconditionality?' -- The writer of the Daily Groove talks about the mindset we must stay in to offer unconditional love not only to our children, but first, to ourselves.

And from Ned Vare (I love this guy!!!!): Dumbing Us Down In Seven Lessons. Ned's blog is called School is Hell and it makes me happy and angry and charged up all at once.

It seems like half the peoples on my Bloglines list have the flu or have this week or know someone who does. Bless y'all's hearts. Feel better soon!!!
