Terrific Kids, Allergies, Taxes and Turtles

My son received a "Terrific Kid" award today. (I guess it's the modern version of a citizenship award.) Two kids from each class get this award every quarter; we guessed that approximately a third of the school will be recognized as terrific before the end of the school year. Despite our skepticism, he was very excited to get the award. No one needed to tell us he was terrific.

The whole house is sneezing. I think Kleenex plants pollen rich foliage to enhance their profit margin.

It's April 12th and I am writing here instead of finishing my taxes! I'd expand on my procrastinating nature, but the guilt is killing me.

Coming up in the next entry: Winky the one-eyed box turtle.
