Life continues to be rich and full in the Miser Mom household.
We celebrated several birthdays this week. My husband hummed his way through his "Beatles Birthday" -- apparently, I will still need him and I will still feed him when he's 64. But our Senator Toomey, whom my guy attempts to engage with every Tuesday, did not come out of his office to give my husband a big birthday hug.
Later in the week, we celebrated I-daughter's birthday with even more singing; I-daughter and N-son and a friend and I went to a performance of "Always Patsy Cline", a great show featuring a really good Patsy Cline impersonator who could belt out those songs. N-son mostly noticed the drummer, who I'll admit was really good, too.
We got to train up our family for new household jobs. J-son has long been helping to trim N-son's hair, but this week for the first time he assisted in giving his dad's head a trim.
And in other training arenas, as we were getting the garden carts ready for service in our college's upcoming yard sale, Baby-A did her best to help pump up the tires. My guess is she'll need another year or two before she can be truly effective at that job.
As for me, in addition to making chocolate cake and singing songs about going walking after midnight (out in the moonlight) and having Sweet Dreams, I also gave my students their exams, and then I graded the exams, and now I'm done for the semester and looking forward to transitioning into spending my days working on my research.
