It was actually a pretty productive day, despite the fact that we didn’t get showered and dressed until 11:00. (A big ‘Thank you’ to Charles and Deb, who came by and shamed us into getting ready.) Lloyd is almost done with the book he’s reading, and Brad’s post inspired me to do some cleaning.
Later in the day I actually got started on Home Visits. The past four years I’ve been sending out a postcard to each child to let them know I’ll be visiting. There’s a good reason for that. It has to do with one young boy – five years ago – FREAKING OUT when I came to his house. He screamed and ran straight into a wall. (He didn’t get out much.) Anyway, I was going along at a fairly good clip – printing, cutting, addressing – when Pfennig decided that I should be done.
