President's Day 2

The morning yoga class went well. Keeping the windows open was a good idea because even though it was 12 degrees Fahrenheit, it wasn't windy. Stretching is really important when you do yoga, Thanda Yoga. My husband is home with the kids. I burned the pancakes, mostly because I wasn't paying enough attention. Joachim, my oldest son, should have worked on his science project but instead his girlfriend spent the night. At one point, I asked my husband to go tell them to be quieter because we were trying to sleep and his brother and sister were also probably trying to sleep.

Tonight there is supposed to be a snow storm, so I have to remember to close the windows of my yoga studio. I'm sure I won't forget. Later, my daughter and I are supposed to have a mother-daughter night. She wants to go see 50 Shades of Gray, which she says is her favorite book of all time. You know how kids are. Last year, her favorite book whatever Harry Potter book she was reading, but once kids, and especially girls, get into high school, their tastes begin to change. I suppose the one area we are different from American parents, is our attitudes towards sex. I like sex and so why shouldn't my children, after they go through puberty of course. As they say, you can take the German out of Germany but never the German out of the German.
