Jonah was not well enough this morning to go to school, so John cancelled his morning classes so that I could go to school with Hannah for my weekly volunteering ("They need me there this morning [please, oh please, oh please I need to get away from Jonah]--I promised the violin teacher I'd help her do, uh, something...really important that she needs help with, that only I can, ummmm, do."). Then the power went out at the school before the first bell even rang and they wound up sending everyone home at about 10 am. The violin teacher and I never did get to work on our big project.
Jonah was, however, well enough by this afternoon to get his hair cut. Hannah surprised me by telling me that she wanted her hair "much shorter". All the better, as far as I am concerned. She has this gorgeous, thick hair that she's been growing out for quite a while and all attempts at keeping it fairly tangle-free are met with protest and tears. Besides, the shorter 'do just suits her better--and keeps her looking more like the nearly-six-year-old that she is rather than a short teenager. Well, see for yourselves.

I have 2 recent conversations with my kids (genetics and homelessness) to report on--I'll make a point to get to at least one of those before the week is out.
