Vital Signs

It's been another long winter that we're happily emerging from. An absence from posting usually means business as usual in life, or it feels like I've written that one already. Sometimes I really get a thought brewing but I don't want to make a pot-stirring editorial page out of my family blog space. Then, other times, it's just laziness and your mother has to tell you she's tired of looking at the snow fort...

Thanks again, Mom! This one is for you and the other 2 or 3 that read here occasionally.

 

This I found on the kitchen table after I dropped off Josh at school this morning. It's his personal gauges. If you can't discern what all he's measuring, it's tank levels (food and hydration), mood, and energy levels. From my assessment, he was satisfied with his breakfast and went to school in a good mood, with adequate energy. Good to know. If only we all had visible gauges, people would know whether to stick around and join our company or not, right?

Just please don't suggest to him the possibility of a "yuck-o-meter". I already get enough grief over the food I put in his 'tank'...
