The News

Well, yesterday was a much better day for Monkey. The staff actually commented on how helpful he was and how great he was! Of course, his lunch box was jammed full of food and snacks! I knew that he could do it and I'm so very proud that he showed everyone what a great kid he is.

So, this morning, since everything is done early, we're all sitting in the living room watching Blue's Clues. I'm reading the latest headlines on MSN.com, I'm reading an article on the funeral of Michael Jackson. Bug, the youngest, says "It's really sad that he died." I agree with her and then she says "His name was Andrew Jackson right?!"

I had to laugh at the imagery. Could you imagine our 7th President being Michael Jackson?? I could imagine those poor 1800's people being just as confused as we were about poor 'ol Michael. Don't get me wrong. I loved Michael's music, and I'm sure I'm not the only one out there, but you have to admit, he was more than just a little strange.

On that note, it's time to get the young ones to daycare and myself to work!
