Today is Children's Day in Japan, so here's in celebration of my kids. (Well, at least the three that are still under this roof.)

A Genisis to Revelation Overview in 24 Hours!
I can't wait! Be sure to check the archives (click the Issues widget on the right side of my page) if staying awake 24 hours straight is too much for you. Or if you have to work as I do.

How Could I Forget?
It's March 17th! I completely forgot it's St. Patrick's Day today. Not that I actually "celebrate" it, but we always thought it was cool that we were descendants from Ireland (though we were happy to let anyone claim they were Irish, too, if they wanted). We wore green to school and got to pinch anyone that forgot to wear green (without getting in trouble for pinching, too!) My mom always made corned beef and cabbage for supper. (Sorry, Mom. I never liked it. It was such a relief to have that menu only once a year.)
I also forgot to do my Lucky Seven grocery shopping today. Great discounts on the 7th, 17th, and 27th of the month, and I blew it.
Well, I did get to put away our dolls. (Doll's Day, hinamatsuri, was March 3rd.) Cleaned some kitchen cupboards. Get some clutter out for garbage collection. AND talk to one of my sisters in Michigan for nearly an hour! It was a pretty good day.
Except I forgot to wear green. And tomorrow I'll have to do some grocery shopping without today's discounts.

Made it Through Another Examination Hell!
Last year two of the kids had entrance exams, and this year one. Ai's junior high school recommended her to her first choice high school (public). She also passed both of the exams she took at two other schools (private) in town. There is still one more exam (public) in March, which she will not need to take now that her decision is settled.
Congratulations Ai! But remember, just because you don't HAVE to study for the March exams, doesn't mean you get to goof off, either. (Well, too much anyway.)
