school
Let's start this off with good news. First, I am off today, so I could sleep in as long as I want. Which lasted till around noon. When I finally got up, I only went as far as the end of my bed though. Turning on the TV and tuning into Olympic coverage since there is really nothing else on.
My mother got home from work around 3 PM. They brought home corn. Oh boy, Corn is ok, but let just be honest . Um, it's just corn isn't it? What so special about it? Other then corn for dinner which I only ate one ear anyway. I had a couple hot dogs.
After dinner it was lawn mowing time. My father had got gas when he went to pick up my mother. Good, no arguing about it this time. Guess his back was feeling ok, or he didn't feel like arguing with me. So, before he finished eating , I went out and started doing the lawn. I was almost finished with my part of the front yard, before he got outside. I finished my part of the lawn long before he finished his, and was inside with my mother, helping move furniture around so she could vacuum.
While finishing up vacuuming, he even said "thanks for helping with the lawn" which was sorta shocking. Guess he woke up on the kind side of the bed for once.
Anyway, now that all the house work, and yard work is finished. It's back to Olympic coverage for the majority of the night. I'll be visible online when I feel like chatting, and on as late as I want, as I don't work till tomorrow afternoon.

I explained to them, they will try to look for a way to need less money, though I suppose if it really comes down to it I don't mind losing a little bit of interest - or they might offer to reimburse that. They'd be reluctant to draw from my grandma because she wouldn't want the money back (because my uncles borrow), and we're honour bound to repay what we borrow.
Couple told mid-flight they'd left child behind
Israelis remember duty-free and luggage, but forget 3-year-old at airport
JERUSALEM - An Israeli couple going on a European vacation remembered to take their duty-free purchases and their 18 suitcases, but forgot their 3-year-old daughter at the airport, police said Monday.
The couple and their five children were late for a charter flight to Paris Sunday and made a mad dash to the gate. In the confusion, their daughter got lost.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said a policeman found her wandering in the duty-free area at Ben-Gurion airport, Israel's bustling main international air portal. He said the officer alerted airline staff, but the flight had already taken off.
The incident happened on what Israeli media said was one of the busiest days of the year at the Israeli airport, with thousands of people leaving for summer vacations abroad. The Haaretz newspaper reported that 2.6 million passengers are expected to pass through the airport in July and August, an increase of 12 percent compared to the same period last year.
Israeli media said the parents of the forgotten girl were an ultra-Orthodox Jewish couple but did not give their names.
Rosenfeld said the parents were unaware they had boarded the aircraft with only four children instead of five until they were informed by cabin staff after 40 minutes in the air.
The child, accompanied by an airline staffer, took the next flight to Paris, where she was safely reunited with her parents.
Running the story on its front page Monday, the Yediot Ahronot daily quoted an unnamed police officer as saying, "A very cute little girl grabbed my leg and asked 'where are my parents, where are my brothers?'"
A female police officer identified only by her last name, Ben-Eden, checked records for the girl's family. "I saw her parents and brothers were on a plane that was set to take off in three minutes," she told the paper.
Ben Eden picked up the girl and rushed to the gate for the flight to Paris. "I ran quickly because I knew that every minute mattered. At the same time, the police tried to contact the flight attendants to get them to stop the plane. When I reached the gate, the plane was no longer there."
Rosenfeld said police would question the couple when they return from vacation, on suspicion of parental negligence.
Haaretz quoted the girl's grandmother, who took the family to the airport, as saying, "We're in shock. They're very responsible and organized, top-notch people. Apparently one relied on the other, and this is what happened."
The paper recounted that several days ago, an 8-year-old boy traveling alone boarded a flight to Brussels instead of Munich, and two weeks before that, a 10-year-old boy was left behind when the rest of his group flew to Copenhagen.
Israeli media often play up stories about mistreated children. Recent prominent reports have concerned toddlers left in locked cars or buses on hot days or abused by caretakers. On Monday, Channel 2 TV devoted a segment of its early evening newscast to an infant who was severely burned when a pot of boiling soup fell on him at his home.

What is it?
Founded in 1957 in New York City, Parents Without Partners is a non-profit organization that provides single parents and their children a platform to connect with each other and build their self-confidence and personal growth.
Jim Egleson and Jacqueline Bernard, the founders, felt isolated from society because of their marital status and decided to form an organization that would cater to the needs of single parents like them. After a newspaper advertisement titled "Parents Without Partners," several single parents showed interest. Today, the organization has more than thousands of members in the United States and Canada.
Why should I join?
Almost every single parent, at some point or the other, feels the need to connect with other single parents to discuss issues and seek support. Moreover, the strong sense of community that such organizations provide can actually be beneficial for children as well as the parent.
Members of Parents Without Partners come from all walks of life. Divorced, separated, or never married parents participate in a range of social and educational activities for parents and children.
How do I join?
To be a member, you must be a single parent. The reason for being single can be death of spouse, separation, divorce, or any special case that Parents Without Partners deems as acceptable.

I don't have custody of my children. Can I join?
