December 1, 2017: Getting Talkadillo Ready

DuoLingo Streak: 90 Days

Friday.  Today I didn’t have a lot on my plate, but it ended up being a really busy day anway.  Incredibly busy.  Dominica was pretty busy, too.  We have some web and business card design stuff that really needs to be wrapped up by tomorrow so we are trying to get that done.  The Talkadillo team is ready to get out and selling right away and we need all of our ducks in a row so that they can be doing that.

Today is the second day of a Sims 4 marathon for the girls.  They’ve been really into it.

November 29, 2017: Driving Back to Dallas

Today we are returning from Houston, where we have been for Liesl’s birthday and for Thanksgiving, back to Dallas.  So it has been a week here.  Now we are spending the day packing and getting ready to go.

We were on the road around three this afternoon, and it is a five hour drive up to Dallas.  Nice to be back home.

For dinner tonight, Dominica made amazing sloppy joes.  Sadly, the kids were not into the format of these sandwiches and they did not go over well.  We liked them, though.

November 28, 2017: Liesl’s Birthday Party

This is our last full day in Houston for a couple of weeks, then we will be returning soon for the Christmas holidays.

This morning, Emily got really sick at school and I got to run down to San Leon to pick her up there and bring her back home. She got sick, for real, in class and the nurse not only didn’t let her go home, but forced her to go back to class!  Ridiculous, completely unacceptable for her or for the other students that she would get sick.  Another shiny example of why our kids will not be going to public schools.  Total disregard for the students, for education, for just general ethics. That nurse has no business being allowed around children and none for being in medicine.  That’s not how you treat sick people and you don’t intentionally try to make others sick.  No business would treat employees that way, but the schools could care less about the welfare of these kids.  They don’t even get treated like bad employees.

Got Taco Bell on the way back for breakfast, though.

Tonight is Liesl’s birthday party.  She turned nine yesterday, but we celebrated tonight with the family.

Liesl got The Sims 4 for her birthday and they played that all evening.
