Today is the normal day after Halloween.
It seems everything is quietly more than as usual.
Many trees on the road sides are very beautiful color so I can enjoy seeing them everyday.

I've cut my hair after a long time and felt refreshed very much.
It might be my feeling was lighter,too.

Hurricane Sandy has almost gone from our town.
But it made the weather get cold and windy still now.
I try to be good health for my children.

I was able to solve one of the issues so I was relieved today.
A positive attitude is very important.
I would want to be a smile what hard times.

ESL theme:Jack-o'-lantern

A modern jack o' lantern is typically a carved pumpkin, although originally typically large turnips.
 It is associated chiefly with the holiday of Samhain and halloween and was named after the phenomenon of strange light flickering over peat bogs, called ignis fatuus or jack o' lantern.
 In a jack o' lantern, typically the top is cut off, and the inside flesh then scooped out; an image, usually a monstrous face, is carved out, and the lid replaced. It is typically seen during Halloween.

ESL theme: My favorite Japanese music video

I learned to embed a video on my blog in ESL class today.

This is my favorite Japanese music video which is the song of the Japanese movie.
The group is RAM WIRE, and the name of song is AYUMI, its' rough meaning of "walking in own life"
I like this melody and words which encourage me very much.

It is drizzling right now and the sky is dark.
It seems a hurricane gets closer to North Carolina more and more.

I was very moody in this week and so tired.
But I can switch my feeling because I am diverted from my cares by doing something as a mother.

There were things to reflect on me, I can't agree with everything still now.
I've been growing more and more angry with him.

It is the fact that is different from the male brain and the female one.
The male and the female can't understand each other everything, absolutely.

He seems to have needless fear for me.
It is not necessary he think of it because it is my business not his.
Anyway, I told him everything to say on that day, so I try to forget it.
