donderdag 17 maart 2011 Up with alarm. Turn on KOMO News. According to the weather report, things are finally calming down. Rice and egg salad for breakfast. Shower. Turn on Stephanie Miller. Stephanie Schriok - President of EMILY’s List - calls in to talk about the GOP’s assault on women’s rights. She refers to a petition on Stop The War On Women.

Steph also talks with Richard Lui about the dire situation in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Steph has good tastes in Daytime News Anchors.

Walk up Westlake to work. 10 - Planning time for Charmaine. Sarah covers for Patty. The 7 Seahorses play with play-doh. Then we get them ready for outside. The clouds are clearing. We're enjoying the sunshine. 11 - Over to Dance Class to give Sharyn a break. Raul and I escort the kids to the Bike Room. With time to spare, I visit the Trailblazers. In honor of St. Patrick's Day (when everything is green), they are play acting Green Eggs And Ham. They sit and eat some green scrambled eggs... and they give me some, too!


The green eggs are yummy. Thanks, kids! A teacher shows me a box - a trap to catch a leprechaun. 12 - Down to Sea Otters for Pam's break. She tells me "good luck." Oh, O. Alex is resisting his nap (as usual). I seems that Mr. O is tired, but he never goes to sleep. It's a fascinating game with him, and he challenges my creativity. 1 - Anne's lunch. Pam finally gets Alex to sleep. I take Odin to the Bike Room. We enjoy the stacking the traffic cones and tossing balls. 2 - Patty's lunch. The 8 Seahorses sleep. Check the spread upstairs. I see that some people tried my pesto couscous. The cookies are all gone. Walk down Westlake to my place. I'm tired and my back is aching. I listen to some of The World. Still, the top story is about Japan. Helicopters are dumping tons of sea water to try to prevent fuel rods melting at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. I appreciate this segment - Japan Tragedy Finds Expression In Cartoons. All I can say to that is... Wow. (A sad wow.)

Watch some Hardball. Report - Amid Frantic Fight, Much 'Fear, Mistrust' In Japan.

Pesto couscous and chicken for dinner. Watch Kyle XY - Psychic Friend. Kyle is haunted by a bad dream... an impending disaster. A fortune teller at the big street fair really is predicting futures. Kyle takes his prediction seriously and has unpredicted trouble with Amanda. Jessi is in worse trouble, but tries again to help Kyle. Then Futurama - Where No Fan Has Gone Before.
