Life continues to be rich and full in the Miser Mom household
We ushered in Lent with our own pre-lenten celebration in the true central Pennsylvania way. I-daughter, K-daughter, and Baby A came over for our weekly "Family Fun Night" and we had a dinner with unhealthy but yummy stuff: bread made with white flour, homemade soup (okay, that was healthy), and dessert of fasnachts (Amish donuts made with the last lard and sugar before Lent starts).
My husband was in Washington D.C. on Tuesday, planning for the upcoming Science march, so he missed being at his usual "Tuesdays with Toomey" protest during the excitement of the actual arrest of 11 of those protesters. I've reassured him that he'll have further chances to get in on the fun.
J-son seems to be operating on autopilot, attending school by day and the boxing gym every evening. I think his muscles are getting muscles.
N-son woke up early and attended the Oh-Dark-Thirty drill practice every single school day this week; he's practicing for a ROTC drill competition. N-son, like me, is a morning person, so he's thriving. My husband (who drives N-son when it's icy outside) is not a morning person, but he's surviving mostly.
And as for me, for Lent I've decided to avoid all refined sugar. On a completely unrelated note (although maybe my students would disagree), I gave back a set of midterms for my calculus class and am preparing to give a set of midterms in my geometry class. As such, I'm getting to spend a lot of time with my students.
In fact, N-son and I took a giant van-full of Math Club students to a Saturday matinee showing of Hidden Figures, a movie good enough that it's worth seeing twice.
