Day Six

Ever had one of those days when you feel like you accomplished an incredible deal and the world is definitely better because of you...but you got nothing done that you were supposed to do? It has nothing to do with Mommy Lion, but that's what happened to me today!

Little Lion finished swim lessons today, not a bad week, I feel like he's capable of being left unattended at a pool now if Little Pumpkin needs a potty break or something. He worked on side breathing, and big, scooping, arm strokes, but didn't quite get it all down.

Little Pumpkin had a good day but a terrible evening. She pushed her luck a little far tonight and didn't get all her dinner or dessert. It was all by her own choice (Grandma Lion)! Dinner tonight was with the Brazillians. Flank steaks, braised cabbage, and rice, the Little ones got carrots and celery sticks also. Little Lion cleaned up, and had seconds before RJ got there from work.

That's right, WORK. He goes back tomorrow at 7am for more! If this keeps up, he may become a contributing member of society! I'm half kidding of course, he's just as excited to work as we are to have him spending time profitably. He had a good day, learned a little, and is ready to GO BACK tomorrow.

Today Mommy Lion says goodbye to her orphans. Extra prayers for that girl, she's so attached and is feeling guilty for not being able to do more. I'm sure the tears are flowing, and she's got to do it all over again next week.
