A Couple Random Updates

1. Becca is fully recovered from the flu. She went back to school Friday and I enjoyed about 2.5 hours of peace and quiet Friday morning before Caroline's teacher called to say she was complaining of having a stomach ache and not feeling well. So I picked her up and was sure she must be coming down with the flu, but apparently she just wanted to come home early and hang with Mom, because she never developed a fever and was fine by mid afternoon. Apparently she later told Becca that she must have confused being hungry with having a stomach ache. Sigh.

2. I paid the balance of our Israel bar mitzvah trip, and then promptly bought a $650 travel insurance policy in case World War III breaks out before June. You never know, these days. Caroline's preschool was evacuated for another bomb threat today. As in, again. For the second time since January. I don't know what this world is coming to, but it's not good!
