He had a trim (with a Free Haircut coupon) at the beginning of September. So, for the past week, I may have *possibly*... –It Kind of Rhymes– Yesterday was a sick day. That’s not very nice. I lay in bed all day long Not even eating rice. Ice cream sounded painful, Cookies are a crock. I’d pay someone some money To bash in my head with a rock. –Sub Haiku– Taught first grade today.

And she doesn’t even read this blog. So I’ll have to do the virtual kissyface for her. But for the rest, here I go.) My Kids are fun. And smart. And sarcastic...  I know. You’ve waited long enough. Here is the latest installment of Belle’s Bookshelf, done by my Kid 3, now 10 years old. I have recently read a book that was way better than I expected.
