I need some ideas of what to do with Lena today. Something inexpensive, but fun.

She and her friend in the hallway on the floor, crawling around like infantry in a battle. I can hear the whispering and the static of the walkie talkies. Go go go go! Retreat!!! Oh man it's hard to not laugh out loud at them. Jane Llanto-Huff

My daughter just came into my room to ask me if I wanted to go do something fun. It's 9:15 at night. What?!

via Facebook

Watching, what I think is the original pilot of the original show: Wonder Woman, with Linda Carter. Who knew that her mom was played by Cloris Leachman? Also, very funky 70s music!! Lol

It's the quiet. Early Christmas morning. Daughter still asleep. Dog puttering. Mmmm coffee. That's a good idea. Happy Christmas to everyone out there!

Forgot about all the extra candles at church tonight. Headache.... Commence!!! :(

Radical nun says answering her Christian calling landed her in prison | Al Jazeera America

Sister Megan Rice is an anti-nuclear activist and Roman Catholic nun of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus. On July 28, 2012, Rice, at 82 years old, and two fellow activists (Michael R. Walli, 63 years old, and Gregory I. Boertje-Obed, 57 years old) broke into the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, spray-painted antiwar slogans, and splashed blood on the outside of the heavily guarded Highly Enriched Uranium Materials Facility. The three are members of the organization "Transform Now Plowshares", a part of the Plowshares Movement, which references the Book of Isaiah's call to "hammer their swords into plowshares", i.e., convert weapons into peaceful tools. Justifying their infiltration of the Oak Ridge facility, the trio cited both Biblical verses calling for world peace and the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons as justifications. The New York Times reported that nuclear experts called this action "the biggest security breach in the history of the nation's atomic complex."Rice, Walli, and Boertje-Obed were charged with misdemeanor trespass and "destruction and depredation" of government property (a felony) and may face up to a $100,000 fine and up to a year in prison. However they were charged with damaging a defense facility under the sabotage act, a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, and charged with causing more than $1,000 damage to government property, up to 10 years in prison. On May 9, 2013, the three were convicted. In her testimony Sister Megan said "I regret I didn't do this 70 years ago." (Source: Wikipedia)

Here are a few pictures of Lena at her recital last night. As you can see she was reall focused. LOL in one she is actually singing. It kind of started off with her singing her heart out, and went sideways about half way through. It was pretty damn funny! :)

Useless fact of today.... The following sentence: 'A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough; after falling into a slough, he coughed and hiccoughed.' Contains the nine (9!) different pronunciations of "ough" in the English Language. English is so weird.

Not feeling very mom'ish today. In fact feeling a bit .... >:(

Need to come up with something amazing to do with Lena during her winter holiday break. Something really memorable.
