Hi, everyone!!
It has been a comfortable warm day today, and I hope such weather continued forever!
Last night I was asked to get in bed together by my kids in their bedroom, complaining about unwillingness to go to school next morning. They sometimes ask me to do so especially on Sunday night, and I always feel it a childish idea. But they requested me to comfort them so eagerly that I couldn’t reject it. They managed to get sleep calmly last night, but I had a problem. I don’t know why I do so, but I always can’t help waking up many times during the night, even though on another futon. Though they were almost sleeping soundly, I woke up at every one hour from two o’clock…
Is it probably because I was caring about them without intention at night?? I had to recall the days when my kids were little babies, been wakening for milk. I think my kids are fairy nervous because they are often concerned about next day’s event. When I was a girl, I was barely afraid of tomorrow’s school time… Or am I too easygoing? Maybe so. I’m a happier person.
So, see you later, good bye!

Hello, Cherry and my precious friends.
Plum, thank you for making a program for the Aichi Seminar on July 21. It's a good advertisement to let our friends know our seminar next month. I'm going to send this program to some of my friends who seem to be interested in presentations given in English.
I have a good news today for you! Bev will try to get to the seminar again this year. Its so exciting to know that she'll come to listen to us. Keep fighting and don’t give up!!
I started to read some books about her, thinking how to organize my presentation about her life.
Good-night, my precious friends.
Hi, Cherry and dear friends,
The program of Aichi Seminar that Plum beautifully made would attract people who are interested in womenﾕs studies. Each title demonstrates the very existence of capable female social activists (reformers) in different periods and fields. I would like to listen to your presentations, but I am in hospital on the day to my regret.
I am going into Okazaki Municipal Hospital on June 23, and staying there during July. I feel I have got invalid rapidly recently just like Victorian mothers who got exhausted themselves after bearing over ten children.
I have been undergoing preparatory tests for the operation of my coax arthritis since the last week of May; blood tests, X-ray tests, urine tests, measuring blood pressure and lung capacity, storing own blood of 800 cc, and having intravenous drip. The doctor in charge explained possible risks that would go with the operation in order to get the consent of the patient and family on Thursday before last week. Consultation of the anesthetist is scheduled coming Thursday. Procedure to get a certificate of a physically handicapped person and exemption of medical expenses to some extent requires me to attend related offices in the City Hall. So I went there last Thursday. It took time because I can manage to walk at a very slow speed. Well, I need a great energy to do anything. It is the time to overhaul to me. Sighﾉ Since I know that Plum is also possessed by some health problems, her fortitude is a great encouragement for me.
Well, lively ladies,
hang on your task while you can maneuver your body.
Good luck to your presentation!
Dear friends,
It is Tuesday June 17th. I have my first essay almost finished thanks to Bev-sensei and Plum. I extremely happy about that. I exchanged e-mails with Bev sensei more than 4 times. Sometimes her advice sounded too good to follow, but she is patient enough to wait for my idea to come. Plum, I will pass it to you as soon as I finished it.
Glorisa,
Please take care. Thinking positively, you can stay in the air-conditioned room without any worries about meals.
Cherry,
I recommend you to follow your kids request as long as you can. There must be some reasons why they aske you to do so. The important thing is whether they feel secured and loved. I still wondered why they are so reluctant to go to school. If there is any possibility of being bullied, you migth as well face with another problem.
One more thing, if we are too tired and bothered to accept childrens' request or dependings on mothers, and if it is unbearable, we should tell them with good reasoning. If not, we are too depressed and frustrated,which is not a happy thing for both of us.
Keeping balance and finding out the reason behind the deed and taking actions are essential in child rearing, but to know and to do is a different thing.
