I just returned home from Expectation Night at school, and Dave and I had the following conversation: DAVE: How was it? JULIE: Fine. But: what do you think is the significance of the number 42? DAVE: The number of times you fell down at Expectation Night. JULIE: DAVE: JULIE: DAVE: Oh, come ON. You know you fall down all the time. JULIE: DAVE: All the time, [...] I think the first day of school is a total waste. Half-day, nothing gets done, they send home a bunch of new forms for us to fill out which they could easily give out at another time…. AND there’s Walk-Through day, AND THEN there’s Expectation Night. I honestly think these events could be consolidated to some [...]  email this post...Category: Birthday, Culture, Family, Food, School / Comments: 5 comments and counting Silly Bandz, as you can see from the photo, are little stretchy bracelets in the shape of animals. Or musical instruments. Or princess stuff. You know, whatever– and if you have a child under the age of 15 then I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know. As Cam said to me when asking [...] Not by my daughter this time; by my parents. And I’m not alone– as far as I can tell, my sister Jill and brother Mikey are also in the doghouse. You see, last night, my beautiful niece Emily graduated from the eighth grade. At the ceremony, my sister and her husband sat in the front [...] And here we have a photo of Addie J at preschool, petting a bunny. (Seems like there’s no way for this scenario to go south, right?) You’ll notice that both she and the bunny had a case of red-eye, from the camera flash… or so I thought. I was corrected by Addie J: ADDIE: Mommy, look!!!! JULIE: [...] A friend of mine was commiserating with me today about a note she received from a student. This student opined that their low grade in her class, after a semester of poor performance, must surely be a mistake– a miscalculation– made by either my friend the math professor or by Microsoft Excel. In the midst of our discussion [...] So I went bowling last week with Cam and his class (side note: I bowled a strike on my first frame. I texted a friend: “Hey! I just bowled a strike!” and the response was, “The bumpers are up, I suppose?”). On my way out– walking with a couple of moms I didn’t know very [...] Getting the kids ready for school in the morning is nearly impossible, and I don’t know why. They shower the night before, they pick out their clothes the night before, all we have to do in the morning is get dressed, brush teeth, do hair and eat breakfast. … yet we can’t hack it. And I [...] email this post...Category: Cameron, Family, Food, Gabby, School, The "J" / Comments: Be the first... Cam had an assignment to write an essay on his hero, and he chose Dave. Now, had he chosen me you literally would not be able to fit my head through the door, I’d be so full of myself– but Dave is taking it with much more maturity than I would have displayed. For example: [...] Here is the link to the last few posts before I actually had Addie J. The last entry was written when I was two days overdue and tried to shave my bikini line, even though I was too huge to see it. Major carnage ensued as you might imagine. I also included a photo taken on my [...] |
