The GPS I have in my car has traffic alert so it will tell you when you are about to hit a traffic jam so you can presumably find a different route. So, I am stuck in traffic today on the freeway and my GPS says, "There's traffic ahead". Hmmm....really...thanks for telling me. I think the trouble is that it won't tell you there is traffic on the freeway until you are on the freeway and when the traffic jam starts before you even get down the exit ramp, you are kind of stuck.

It is so exciting to drive by and see how much progress they make each day. It is amazing what a difference just a day can make.

Colm LOVES Kindermusik. We only have two more sessions and then it is over for the spring. I am so glad that I enrolled him in it. He is such a good listener and wants to do everything just the way Miss Lin does it. He loves it when she reads stories to them, and when it is lullaby time and she turns out the lights and also when they get to hold hands and dance around in a circle...but I think his favorite part is when they get to hide their scarves and then find them...he thinks it is absolutely hilarious.

I have been reading this book FOREVER! I had to turn it back into the library and then put it back on hold and wait for it again. Luckily, it is a book of short stories (memoirs), so it wasn't a tragedy when I had to turn it in...you can just pick up where you left off. I made it to the last two stories, however, and decided that I could not invest any more time in this book. Some of the stories are very interesting. They are all about children whose parents were missionairies, dignitaries and the like. Children who did not have a home country and often lived in five different countries, speaking as many different languages and trying to absorb and assimiliate into that many cultures before their tenth birthday. Children who were sent to boarding schools or American schools in the country they were currently residing in. Many of the stories are very interesting, but towards the end I had had enough. Time to move on to another book. I need some fiction.

Liam specifically asked for me to put this picture on the blog. What is he doing? He is using some cardboard from some packaging to scratch the cat. The cat loved it. There were several other pieces of cardboard that he used that afternoon to make into various spaceships from Star Wars.

One more down, three more to go! I finished another class last night! I am going to take one class this summer and one in the fall. After that I will have one more class to take and I am not sure when I will take that one. We'll see. I have until 2010 to finish this degree up and then may classes start to expire. What does that mean? It means that I have to start taking them over again and I definitely don't want to do that!
