Blue Moon

Greetings y'all ;

Well folks its a beautiful blue moon this morning. We watches it rise last evening and I'm watching it creep across the western sky this morn. Less than four hours sleep for papa bear last night. I don't feel stressed just that mind is busy. Oh and late night caffeine. The bonus is the door to our apartment building is framed in rose bushes. Aww the smell of roses, the rare blue moon, accompanied by a chorus of crickets. Only thug missing is my side kick , but since it's only 04:45 I think I'll let him sleep. As I sit here in reminded of days gone by. When man cub and I would sleep along the river under the stars . I miss those days.Oops guess who just came to snuggle up?

We taught about stress management in health yesterday and the kids said I'm always stress free. Hey just because I wear fun ties and aloha shirts on Friday, just because I'm usually smiling and don't get upset doesn't mean I'm stress free. The kids asked my ways to relieve stress. Hmm they said your always eating fruit, smiling and singing. They're onto me I guess. Funny thing is I'd just dropped an open brown marker on my white pants and my best aloha shirt had ripped. They saw me laugh it off, attempt to remedy it and continue smiling and joking. I'm human.

So I owe Mowgli an apology. Seems the pool was open until 8 all week and I assumed it closed at 7 as per usual. We left at 18:45 every night. Then again we maintained our school night routines. Last night we swam to a cacophony of cricket and kids playing in field next to the pool. Twas grand!

Ok y'all know the boy wonder has bean wonderful. (forgive me universe for bragging please don't punish us for it) I decided to work on a token economy with the lad. We will use decision dollars. He can earn dollars based on his decisions. He can lose dollars based on decisions. We are working out a specific dollar amounts based on actions and reactions and I supposed proaction. We are also working out the menu for spending the dollars. The menu thus far is mostly free things like additional Zander led time. The idea is to help lead him toward the path of being pro active and non reactive. I'll keep ya posted.

Folks enjoy your weekend, for us crazy Americans its Labor Day weekend. So enjoy your long weekend if you get it. It means more time to make memories.

Thanks for reading y'all !
