Hooray! It's lunchtime!
Ya know, this sounds like such a little thing, but my day was just made.
Went down to heat up my lunch (we don't have a microwave here, so I have to go downstairs to another office), and there were three big bags of dried beans on the table by the microwave. Turned out one of the people in that office had been given them, but doesn't ever cook with dried beans, so she had put them there for anyone to take, and they'd been sitting for awhile with no takers. So...I guess it was greedy of me, but I took 'em, all three.
Between that and frozen vegetables and frozen ground beef and canned tomatoes and such...I'll have plenty of food for the next few weeks! I can make beans with salsa...or chili...or some sort of barbeque like sauce with Splenda...
I'm tickled...means I can use money for other things.
Just peered over Joshua's shoulder at his worktext he was working on. He had to look at picture then read a list of words and choose the word that went with the picture. Like a picture of a cat with the words pup, cat, hut next to it. Then he had to circle the correct word. He did this as "silent" reading...and he just did great...quickly and accurately.
I paused his tape and knelt down beside him and said "You know, Joshua...you can't ever say 'I can't read' again...some kids your age might say 'I can't read.', but you can't say that any more. You CAN read!"
He just beamed. I'm so tickled for him.
