Been running so hard - what I need is to unwind...

Today started out a great day. The Boy didn't sleep well last night (he boycotted dinner and probably kept waking with a grumbly tummy), but he still woke me at 6, just after Chris left for work. It wasn't too terrible; I managed to pull it toget...

Such an unhappy boy!

2008-05-06T16:01:46Z

I dropped off a very unhappy little boy this morning. In fact, as soon as we got into the classroom, he started to scream in terror and cling to me for dear life. He settled down a bit while I was signing the roster sheet (still holding him, mind...

"He really likes food, doesn't he?"

2008-04-29T15:08:04Z

After dropping The Boy off at his regular classroom, I went across the building to see his new teacher and check on how he did the previous day. "He did great!" she told me. "And he's such a good eater! He really likes food, doesn't he?" I had to...

Letter a Week: "A 'C' is not a grade - it's a body of water!"

2008-01-15T23:05:34Z

I'm going to do my best to specifically write about myself when I do my Letter a Week posts. I've found that I write way too much about my son and motherhood and not nearly enough about myself. So this leads us to this week's letter: C. There are...

Fire drill at school

Baby C had a fire drill at school this morning. I was there to witness it, as I was midway through my morning drop-off routine. It was really neat to watch; his teachers collected all the kids (6 total this morning), put them into 2 rolling cribs...
