    My youngest daughter turns 16 tomorrow. Three months ago, she was brooding, depressed, failing classes. Over Christmas break we took her out of her school into online learning. Like a light switch got flipped, she's smiling, pleasant to be around, and just aced a history exam.

    That's awesome happy birthday to her.
    My boy turns 16 in May!!!! Time flies

    My 14-year-old. 98% sure he didn’t learn this in class. Also, I’m not fact checking.

    Also the wreath I made for my office door

    My WWII freak would like to come over there and teach these kids about it.
    It has so much history

    Fair enough, i live in The Netherlands, so it is part of our history, but i love visiting historical places of WWII and learn about it

    That’s what we need. Teachers with passion for their subjects. My boy would love to hear you teach

    THIS made me happy inside. I've had similar struggles with my son, so it's wonderful to see someone else see victory!

    This morning my kitty, Blitz, sprawled out on her back and let me give her tummy raspberries (aka zerberts) while she kneeded my cheek and purred like a maniac. The warm fur, purring and happy kitty just gave me such a boost. The kitties have given me so many smiles!

    And it wasn’t even a cat trap! You have been blessed.

    Quick math in my head and realize I’ve consumed quite a bit of food ☹️ but then remember I’m not dieting and don’t care 😃
    But will still probably end the day in a slight deficit 😒

    isn’t it funny how you still sometimes compulsively add up the numbers and pretty much have it all memorized anyway? At least that’s how it is for me.
