My son borrowed a suit from his cousin which my son put on at the graduation ceremony. The suit was one of Burberry.
When I looked in the washing machine after washing, I found that suit!! Oh my God!!  Unbelievable!!
I stretched it, but it certainly shrank.
He just did his routine, he put his clothes in the laundry machine before taking a bath.
My carelessness made this accident.
Well, what is he going to put on at the entrance ceremony?
I should make him go on a diet, should I?

It was very warm and felt like spring today. I enjoyed playing outdoors with my daughter. I found some dandelions at my garden.

The one corner of my garden is going to be full of dandelions soon. I'm looking forward to seeing them.

I have to make lunch boxes for my kids tomorrow. What should I cook? Some of their friends may bring lunch boxes which are decorated after comic characters. I respect persons who make such pretty ones. I'm sorry for my kids because I can't. But I promise that their lunch boxes are full of my affection.

I always have stiff shoulders and neck. My husband massaged me because condition becomes worse these days. I felt very comfortable, so I thank him.
I've asked my English teacher who is American whether he had stiff shoulders. His answer was 'No.', and he told me also that most American don't suffer from it. Contrastingly, most of Japanese suffer from it. It is an unbelievable result.

The train I got on today was a few minutes late. The reason of the delay is unbelievable and funny. The train hit a deer!
Actually I have sometimes seen some deers beside rode and I've known crashes into cars and deers but I never known one into a train and a deer.
It was warm. I think spring is coming.

I went to the graduation ceremony of my son's nursery school.
He went to there for six years.
He might be so tense that he unnaturally walked in the hall, but he proudly received the diploma.
I couldn't stop crying remembering the past day when he was an infant. Congratulations!!

I went to the Koshien to watch the game of the National High School Baseball Championship with my family.
Although it was very cold today, but the game was really excited and we enjoyed it.
All of the players did their best.
My electronic English dictionary I usually use is out of order, so I just write easy English in my diary.

I ate a piece of baumkuchen which my father-in-low had given me at the White Day. It was very soft and delicious.
I like making sweets. I have made pound cake, muffins, cookies etc., but I've not tried to make a baumkuchen. I think it is impossible to make it at home. If it was easy to make, I would often make it.

I scolded my son tonight.
He was watching TV before his routine, brushing his teeth and writing a diary, had not finished.
I said to him that you did at first what you had to do but what you wanted to do.
Actually I didn't want to scold him today because it was the last day he went to the nursery school. The graduated ceremony just remains. I wandered whether I should scold him or not, then I did after all.
I think he became strong and gentle in mind during the nursery school life. I believe that he'll never forget today and  advance more.

I had a part time job today which is once a month. When I came back home at 9:30pm, my kids were already asleep. I cooked rice and curry for supper. My husband said our kids ate so much that their stomach became too big.
I have to wash clothes and prepare a breakfast from now, so that's all today.

2012/03/21

I always watch the news of NHK. There are little good news these days. I'm disgusted especially at political problems, so I sometimes object for myself watching news about politics. But I watched really good news today. It was about the National High School Baseball Championship. I listened to a player's oath of the captain of Ishinomaki High school. It was over two minutes and really impressive. I felt purified after hearing it.
I think most of topics about sports are pure and encourage us.

2012/03/20

I was sleepy in the day time today because I was awake till late at the night yesterday. When I almost had a nap, my daughter came and drew on my face with a felt-tip pen. Nevertheless I tried to keep sleeping, then she suddenly jumped on me. I was too surprised to keep sleeping.
By the way, she went to bed at 5:30pm today. How early it is!
Her sleeping face seemed really happy. I hope to sleep whenever I want like her.

My son is making a plastic model of a car these days. I sometimes help him to make it. Most of pieces are too small that we have to take care of them. I enjoy making the plastic model remembering the past days.
It is cold after a few warm days. Spring is coming and going away.

2012/03/18

I changed positions of furniture in my living room because books and toys of my kids are increasing. Furthermore I bought one more shelf today. There will be three bookshelves in this room after the one I bought today will come home.
When did items increase so much?

2012/03/17

My son starts elementary school next month. I heard that his grand parents would present him an astronomical telescope for entering a school. My son must be glad of the gift. I would like to look at the moon by the telescope. I wonder whether he will make me use it.
By the way, my parents probably gave me a dozen of pencils printed my name for my entering an elementary school.
His grand parents are soft on him, aren't they?

2012/03/16

My son likes chicken wings very much. When he had stewed chicken wings for supper, I said to him "How many wings have you eaten? About 100? If you have eaten this numbers, you have eaten 50 chickens." He said it was unbelievable. I suggested that we would keep chickens in our garden. Actually it is impossible of course, but we laughed loudly imaging the situation. My 1-year-old daughter looked stupefied beside us.
Anyway he likes it very much, especially the first wing segment!

2012/03/15

I bought a handy video camera today. I already have one that image is kept in a tape, but the one I bought today is in HDD.
It is really small and light. Most of electric machines which are used at home improve so rapidly that I can't catch up with the progress.
There will be a graduation ceremony in my son's nursery school the week after next. So I have to be able to use the video camera smoothly.

2012/03/14

It was fine and warm after a long time. I did a lot of washing and dried futon in the sun.
It was also good weather for a hike. Today was a day of hike in my son's school. My son seemed to enjoy it, and he said "Thank you for a lunch box. It was very delicious!"
I was very glad to hear that, although I couldn't make cute one he expected.

2012/03/13

I suffer from an allergy at this season.
I have a stuffy nose and a sore throat that are similar to symptoms of a cold.
I like spring, but I'm so sick of the allergy.
My son is going to go up a hill as a school hike tomorrow.
It is the last one in his nursery school life.
I'm going to make a box lunch imaging a hike.
I wonder whether I make it well, and I wish he would be glad of it.

2012/03/12

I had an argument with my husband about our kids. Whenever our children ask him to do something, he says "just a minute."
I always say him to do for them immediately.
I think children feel affection when their parents receive their requirements and act immediately.
Actually it is difficult to do that every time, but I think the feeling that we do our best is important.
I'm going to go to bed earlier than usual because I get irritated.

2012/03/11

It is one year since that earthquake disaster occurred.
There were many TV programs about it.
I remember that my relatives living in Tokyo and Chiba evacuated to my house in Kyoto and we lived here for about a month. We were all twelve.
Actuary it was hard to live with such many persons, but I thanked that all of us were safe.
I thank again today that we are alive with health.
I believe Japan will be sure to rise.

I suffer cracked hands every winter. It is hard to wash dishes because of pain of fingers these days. I apply ointment my hands every night, but the injury  doesn't be recovered.
I asked my husband to wash dishes after supper today because I felt a pain. He did that without any complaints. I'm deeply grateful to him.

2012/03/08

I had a English lesson today.
I always think after the lesson that I wish I had spoken much more. I would like to speak smoothly whatever I think.
By the way, my husband had two troubles of a delay of railway today. The one was because a car stopped in a level crossing.
Another was because a man was injured or dead by a railway accident. He was unlucky today.

2012/03/07

I have no idea to cook for dinner tomorrow.
I like cooking, but I'm always be worried what should I cook.
Maybe it is the reason that my repertory of recipes is poor.
Whenever I don't think of good recipes, I cooked a one-pot meal.
This has some advantages. First of all, I can take many vegetables and next, it need less dishes and in the end, I feel warmer during eat it. But the best reason is easy to cook.
Now I've decided to cook a one pot meal for supper tomorrow.

2012/03/06

It was warm today after a long time.
My son and his friends played at the nearby open space.
They found a bamboo there and put it on branches. It looked like a horizontal bar. They seemed really enjoyable hanging from the bar.
It was a heart warming scene that the kids was carrying the bamboo on their shoulders.

2012/03/05

I received a mail from Fruitful English a few days ago.
The contents of the mail was that they presented me four platinum medals as a result of my effort last month.
I was very surprised at the unexpected present and also happy.
I thought that I would study English much more.
I'm deeply grateful to their hearty support.

2012/03/04

My husband entered the Sasayama-marathon today. He completed a run of 42.195km.
I had thought he couldn't run the whole distance because the course was very hard and it was rainy today.
I respect him. I think I should do my best for everything.
He was so tired that he went to bed earlier than usual.
I hope he'll not have a cold.

2012/03/03

Today is the Doll's Festival. I haven't decorated a hina doll set, but I cooked chirashi-sushi and clam soup. I was very glad to see my children's happy face when I served them.
I'm going to cook grilled meat for dinner tomorrow which my husband requested. Why does a man like meat very much? Whenever I ask my husband and my son what they want to eat, they answer meat.
Anyway, I'm very happy because it is easy to cook grilled meat.

2012/03/02

I've not decorated a hina-doll set this year.
But the one my son made in the nursery school is decorated.
He made it using newspapers and a milk carton.

My 1-year-old daughter likes a piggyback ride. When I'm sitting on a floor, she often ride on my back herself.
She wasn't good at ride on my back a little before now.

I went to a beauty salon after three month intervals. My hair has been medium long, but I had my hair shortened today. I feel much better. My son said I became prettier when he looked at my new hair style. What a nice boy he is!
It took about two hours to cut and set my hair. I have heard that it took less time and the price of a haircut was cheaper in America. I don't mind about such a long time, but I think the price is too expensive. If the price was cheaper I would go there more often.
