View From the Bushes:

Here's something interesting: it used to be that if I took a nap after 5 pm or drank a caffinated drink after about 6 pm that I would be unable to fall asleep later. Last night I did both and fell asleep just fine. I'm not sure if that's good or bad; probably bad. I do know that I'm tired today... This is going to be a short entry, but before I log off here are a couple of links. The first is a funny story in another blog about my oldest daughter (it's the January 25th entry). The second is an op-ed piece from the LA Times, which begins, "I DON'T SUPPORT our troops." I'll allow you to read it and form your own reaction...

I DO SUPPORT our troops

A comment on the babysitter blog, I'm not sure I can count how many times Xandra brought up that she is "gifted" while I was home for the holidays. It even came up when we were playing Barbies. Her Barbie visited mine in New York. Her Barbie was looking for work, but was sure that she could do anything because (quote), "I'm gifted."

It is a good thing that she is proud of being in the gifted program. I think back on when I was in school and I never wanted to be seen as being smart... come to think of it I go by the name 'Bonehead' still today.

You are doing a wonderful job with all of your children. They are confident, self assure, yet polite. I think that is a hard combination to master too.
