Snakes in the Bed




I made some headway on Inga's room but it certainly is not done. When she came home from school I showed her my new Blog. Her comment was, "Is it bad that I think my room looks pretty in that picture?" So much for for Karl's worries that she would be offended.

Surprisingly, I did not find in snakes or vermin in Inga's room. However down the hall Erik's room is replete with "little friends"! Apparently Karl's Dad was a collector of snakes and I myself was known to carry snakes to school in third or fourth grade. Snake loving is genetic I guess.

Both kids had a pretty good day at school. Erik enjoyed his World Drumming class. He got to play some kind of African drum which I had never heard of and they listened to some "awesome" world music. History of the Civil War also got good reviews although he was late to class due to being totally lost. Inga drew him a map so maybe today he will get there quicker. Why they don't give the kids maps I don't know. Anyway, Erik was amused when the teacher asked the class if there were slaves in Florida and someone said, "They would never have slaves at Disneyland"! Across the aisle a boy answered with "Well, Mickey is black." The teacher responded by saying "I'll pretend I didn't hear any of that!"

Inga didn't have any funny stories to tell but she seem to like her classes well enough. She is home sick this morning with her chronic stomach issues. She suffers from IBS which seems to be a name for untreatable stomach pain. The doctor's advice column in the paper today talked about IBS and recommended an over the counter treatment. I am going to try and locate it. Mostly I think her asthma medicine tears up her stomach. Starting your day throwing up is no way to go.

I will work on that pie today and Inga's room. I am sure the best way to clean Inga's room would be to go to Target and buy more organizing plastic thingys. And I do also have to return some of those skinny jeans as they were too skinny! I am sure I can procrastinate until after lunch!

Even better, clean your room or I'll let the snakes loose!


Looks like you're rising pretty early to start your procastination. 5:43 am?

I think both Cindy and Karl have their blog "time zone" set at Pacific time. For some reason that is the default on the program. I had that problem at first. But maybe they are early risers. I'm glad I won't be there when Hope sees this blog. She loves snakes, NOT. I really like your blog Cindy, so "real"

I did get up at 6AM but I wasn't on the computer until 7AM! I fixed that.
How do you know the snakes aren't always loose?

Buying more organizers is definitely not the way to go. You can refer to George Carlin on this matter. Getting a place to put stuff only results in getting more stuff.

Your kids are too cool for words...except maybe the snake thing.

School was never that much fun in my day!

Not sure I can keep reading your blog if the snake pictures continue!?! A friend of mine's son had a pet snake that would "disappear" from time to time. Needless to say I didn't visit her at her house. As Erik perhaps has a genetic disposition for liking snakes, I seem genetically programmed not to like snakes, as neither of my parents are big fans.
