Well, last week was a doozy. My middle son who is 12, had appendicitis last week. It started on Wednesday with a slip-n-slid accident that hurt his stomach and somehow ended up with him getting his appendix removed. Strange happenings, but a slip-n-slid accident does not begat an appendix flare up. The young man is a trooper.
The Bishop and Young Men leaders came for a visit which I know cheered him up a lot.
He came home today after being away for almost a full week. At the end he was complaining of missing his family and wanting to go home.
I am thankful for the great hospital we were at and the wonderful help we received from friends in the ward.
Needless to say, getting homework done was difficult. This is my last assignment and some others were turned in late.
Without further ado, here is what happened in school for the week:
1 Portfolio turned in for B-100, it was the culmination of 9 weeks worth of work. Nice to have it finished.
1 Book report turned in - Seth Godin's "the dip" An excellent book about quitting, yes really about quitting. Mr. Godin brings up the value of quitting and the value of knowing when to push through.
$100 Challenge, almost there, have some labels to prints and emails to send. Soon the product rolls out to the market...
I really enjoyed the process improvement study from HMM we did. Improving processes is an excellent way to bring about great change within a business.
I also really enjoyed the case study about Roxanne Quimby and Burt's Bees. What a great rags to riches story and a testament to hard work and perseverance. Ms. Quimby really dove into learning how to run a business and grew Burt's Bees into a multimillion dollar corporation.
That's all for now. until next time.
