The information seeps into everyday conversations and is a new lens through which I see things. I&#8217;ll look at a photo and think, that&#8217;s a great example of mechanical energy, or, that trampoline has too much potential energy for that group of kids trying to jump on it together. Mark received a rubber band car for his birthday, and Richard pointed out that this\u00a0would be a great energy experiment. All I could feel was gratitude that\u00a0I didn&#8217;t\u00a0need to come up with a science lab this week.<\/p>\n<p>Timothy forgot his gym clothes yesterday and by some miracle I noticed it. I ran them down to the school and left them in the office. The receptionist added his name to a LONG list of students who would be called to the office to retrieve their forgotten work. One of the receptionists said that it was an especially &#8220;forgetful&#8221; day at the school and the office had seen a long stream of parents that morning, and it was only 8:30. It&#8217;s no\u00a0wonder we forget things these days. There&#8217;s too much to remember.<\/p>\n<p>HOW many more days until the schools relent on their activities and baseball comes to an end? WHY does the middle school think that it&#8217;s a good time to hold student body elections? We have to produce a video&#8230; immediately?!\u00a0I&#8217;m trying to peel myself off the floor this morning and face this day. I wish I could handle this busy time, but I can&#8217;t. I canceled violin lessons yesterday and read the Bible instead. I couldn&#8217;t do another thing. I&#8217;m mostly okay with that decision. Mostly. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Mark is studying energy in science class.
