Direct TV in the Office

While picking up my daughter at school for cheerleading practice, I noticed they had Disney on the television in one of the teacher's rooms.  I had no idea they had satellite at the school.  When did that happen?

I think it's a really good idea to set up satellite television in the office.  When clients are waiting in the lobby, it gives them something to do other than stare at the wall or smile politely at the receptionist (you should still do that anyway but it'd be nice to have something else to look at after that was done).  When I worked as a receptionist, I ran for coffee and made small-talk with them but the client probably would've preferred to be left alone on their own (and I would have preferred using that time to finish up the quotations the customers were waiting on). 

Can you imagine how much nicer it would be to watch real television on satellite when the doctor is running behind (which 99% of them do), instead of getting overly irritated at the wait while watching those health programs they run on DVD's over and over about cholesterol and heart disease?  Put on HGTV or Disney instead!

First Day School Tears

I am hungry for lunch and just realized, I don't have anybody else to fix lunch for now that my baby has started school too.  All four of our kids started today, including the littlest starting kindergarten.  That had me choked up leaving her there, especially since she did not look too confident as we were leaving, but hopefully she'll learn to love it.  I hope.

Darnit, my baby has started school.  She went to preschool but it wasn't the same.  It was only for 2-1/2 hours.  Now she's gone all day long.  That sucks right now but I'm sure I'll adjust quickly and like it eventually.

Girl Circumcision Death - Female Mutilation

A girl died after an Egyptian doctor circumcised her.  Here's the article here.

Why is this done?  Religious reasons?  Thinking that females are less than males?  Why? 

It's mutilation in my opinion.

Might Be Moving

We are tentatively looking at possibilities for moving back to our home state.  The biggest obstacle is going to be finding a good job.  The next obstacle would be finding a place big enough to rent (with option to buy) that will accept dogs and has room for horses.  Finding a 4+ bedroom farmhouse, in a good school district, may or may not be easy.  I just don't know yet because I don't know where to look online for places "rent with option to buy" or just plain old "for rent" in another state.

I know I don't want to "settle" for just anything either like we did with this house.  I've spent the four years living here not liking this house because we rushed to buy it.
