Jinni has been working on her next installment of Jinni's Journal for the News & Record and she let me read parts of it before submitting it to the paper today. (The link to the first one is already dead - oh well) The part that caught my eye was the solution to every elementary school parent's dread - what to do for a science project. From her Journal...
"Today, Jesse (my ten year old son) came home with a reminder that the dreaded Science Project is due after the Holidays. A light bulb went off in my head. "Jesse", I said "Have I got a science project for you! This year you might even win an award, heck you might even go all the way to State. We'll call it 'The Effects of Chemotherapy on my Mommy'..."
State my eye... he might just make it to the national level by virtue of the sympathy factor alone.
I'm not sure when the next publication date will be, but I will keep you posted.
