Yesterday I attended conferences at school for Ali, Yousef and Jenna. Not too many surprises and looking forward to finishing up the last quarter of the year! I wasn't going to go but I'm so glad I did. It's always enlightening to hear strangers tell you all about your kids. It's been raining for 24 hours and it's feeling COLD but I hear the temperatures will be up by the weekend so I'm holding out for that. Today I'm homebound so I'll be cooking most of the day. I hope to make grape leaf and hommus sandwiches for dinner plus do some baking and preparation for tomorrow since I have to go out for much of the day. It's become a tradition that 3 days a week the boys bring 2 guys from their wrestling team home for dinner before they have to go to practice. I may try to adopt one of these boys. He weighs in at about 250 lbs. and likes my cooking. He's the little Labne I was never allowed to adopt. Fingers crossed.

Here's some things I'm liking lately:

Greek yogurt

Iced tea

Getting every bit of laundry done on a daily basis

Reading

Sitting in a very hot sauna 3 times a week

Things I'm not liking so much:

Teenagers

Trying to lose weight before summer

Cold feet

My lack of cable tv

My last thought: Did you ever just want to look at someone and scream "What's Wrong With You?????"
