well, in the plans today are cupcakes in dr. king’s honor and a walk over to bethel college.  the younger two kids and i are cuddled on the couch ready to watch a movie.  naomi is asleep, jerry is at work along with all other public school teachers {grrrrrrrrrrr}.  i’ve given in to the fact that i really do have a cold.  today i plan to get over it.  really, there is goodness.  great goodness.

we’ve had some good conversations on the fact that dr. king would be 83 if he was alive.  that’s not that old!

a word of wisdom from my eldest:

you know, most adults should realize that this [his death] happened in their lifetime.  it seems like that should make a difference.

yeah, it seems so.
