A Little Time

I have a little time this morning because the entire school is in testing mode, and for some reason (for which I am very happy), I have no testing responsibilities today. Yesterday was spent with the highly entertaining task of sitting in a hallway and occasionally sitting in classrooms to give teachers a break from their equally entertaining task of watching students who have nothing to do because they weren't scheduled to take a test that day. Sounds like fun, right?

Anyway, I feel compelled to say something about American Idol. Last week I actually enjoyed Sanjaya. His spanish on "Besame Mucho" was quite good, and he delivered the song in a subtle way, which was effective. Like Randy said, he was very smart with his song choice, and with the smirk he gave to the camera at the end, making me laugh and every pre-teen swoom. This week, however, he quickly returned to the Sanjaya that more than deserves to be voted off. Please, oh please, let this be your last week, Sanjaya! Still, he may stick around for yet another week. Chris gave a very poor performance last night and may be the next to go. I've never been fond of his nasal delivery - planned or otherwise!

In Charlotte news, she is happy to be out of daycare and is thriving with her grandma, and I mean that literally. She has put on roughly 2 pounds, is crawling everywhere, talking her own special language, and eating rice dream (rice based ice cream, since she's still allergic to dairy). She loves to eat peas, and often won't eat anything else until she sees peas with it. She is the funniest, sweetest, fiestiest little girl, and I just love her so much!!! I still miss not spending every minute of everyday with her, but I'm relieved that she is doing so well now.
