What Shamu Taught Me About a Happy Marriage

Here's a fun article a friend gave to me a few years ago. It was written by Amy Sutherland. Enjoy...

Follow-up

Yesterday deserves a good follow-up. Tiwa had a nice, quiet day....watching newly uploaded movies on her ipod...which she has been looking for the opportunity to do for a while. It's amazing how her breath was remidied with a good brushing. She wanted to go play on the beach, but because she was too sick to go to school, she was too sick to go to the beach. We solved that in a hurry by making cookies...she loves to cook. It was a good day. Today she woke up and was anxious to get to school early. At any rate, we were thankful her heart was still beating....

Just a side note...today I'm feeling a bit "woosey".

School Sickness

This morning I was in the car waiting for "Tiwa" so I could make my morning school drop off rounds. "Ben" hopped in the car and announced that "Tiwa" wasn't coming, because she's sick. ???? I was just in the house with her. I watched her eat breakfast, and get ready to walk out the door. She was fine!!! What prompted this sudden onset of sickness? I had to come in and investigate. When I got in the house I saw poor little Tiwa laying on the couch. I asked her why she decided she wasn't going to school. She told me she doesn't feel good. I asked her to tell me what that feels like. This is what I learned...My little lady, 1st, felt woosey. 2nd, she had a bad taste in her mouth, and 3rd, her heart was beating. I laughed!!!!! Of course...the symptoms of school sickness! I promptly told her it sounded serious, and sent her to bed. It did help that this girl is a straight A student...that makes the symptoms all the more serious. So, today will be a Tiwa and Me day. I'm certain she will back to good health tomorrow!
