Today, I’m working from home. In the morning, I took Tina to the oral surgeon, Dr. Shabazian, to have her 4 wisdom teeth removed. She had a Valium before the appointment. I expected her to loosen up, be druggy. But Tina was Tina. The whole thing took only 45 minutes. We got there at 10, and got out at 11:00. Have been taking care of her. She almost passed out when she got up too fast. She’s OK now. She waited for him to come by, and bring her flowers. I’ve been telling her that she had decided that he is her choice. If so, then take him as he is. Or tell him what she wants from him. To expect is to become disappointed.

I hope Eric will pay more attention to his studies. Everything is more important to him than his studies. Why is it that kids nowadays hate schools so much? Is it the school, their friend, society trends, or the fault of parents not disciplining them enough?

I made vegetable puree soup, and cha’o ga` today. Everytime the kids or someone in the family gets sick, I make these 2 soups. It has become customary. Without these, they do not get better :))

Weigh 120 lbs today! YEAH! It seems that I couldn’t get down to 120 the last 6 months.

Oh! And Tina and I started on our first Belly Dancing class last night. Isn’t it cool or what? Mother and Daughter doing belly dancing. It is difficult. The way they move their body looks so easy. But I couldn’t even move my finger right! We bought the finger cymbels. Hope Tina will stick to the class. It’s an 8-week class.

I hope I will not give up on writing the journal. This is not my first time I started writing a journal. I never lasted past day one though.
