Great story here.....

[I]Like Mother, Like Superhero[/I].

I've never read this blog before but a friend sent the link to me and I really enjoyed this piece. It's timely, considering our own woes about our kids going back to school, fitting in, being liked ......

Love it, CC! I wish I would have read it last week, so we could have made our own superhero necklaces! She has her first Honors Biology test today. It has the rep of being the test that makes people cry. I was thinking that hot fudge sundaes would be in order after school today.

Wooohoooo, Luv! Congratulations. Never too much time. I'm sure JHB is welcoming you with open arm. I wonder if she has anything like the Lollipop Guild or the Lullaby League?????

First time to post here-- always on the other blogs posting--
Had to go out of town for work the day after school started-- what a crazy week- my poor husband had to jump into the schedule immediately while I was gone-- the poor thing-- he had to do what I do everyday-- not including my PTO work, the laundry, my club activities and so much more-- the the day never ends-- I love to go out of town for work-- this is my paid vacation.... where I can have a martini, put my feet up and I don't have to put the clothes away-- they can stay on the bed all week long..... miss the kids though!

Welcome FoxMom!!

That's what I need...a business trip. I wonder if I could figure out a reason why I need to go to the corporate office.....hmmmm. It won't happen. Instead my hubby has a business trip next week and the fundraiser I'm chairing is due back. My dining room will be covered with order forms! Maybe it will be better if he's gone, so I don't have to see him rolling his eyes at me! I think there will be lots of takeout next week.

Okay--well I guess first I need a business...then I'll get a business trip. I always smile when my hubby fusses about going out of town...hmmm, dinners out, clean beds that are made every day (and I don't have to make them). It's tough I'm sure.

He did buy me a laptop for my bday so I'm starting a blog. I'll let you guys know when it is up and running. It's entitled "Random thoughts while parenting". I hope it'll be fun...

Can't beat the fact that someone else will make the bed when I leave the room-- however all the box tops and campbell's labels that I bring to cut and count while I'm out of town covering the other bed is a bit much to look at-- I can just imagine what the maids think when see a pile of soup labels on the second back with a note-- please do not throw away-- or a pile of cookie dough order forms on the desk to input into the computer at night-- I wish I was a fly on the wall some trips.... Margarita's help a lot!!!

Margaritas make everything seem better. It's not just the alcohol, it's the whole thought of sitting back with a fruity, icy drink to sip while you quietly reflect on your day or while you laugh hysterically with your gal pals!

Can't wait to read your blog, d! We got a laptop as the family Christmas gift last December. I can barely get on it, and when I do, invariably someone starts looking over my shoulder wondering how long I'm going to be. Last week I was giggling and typing feverishly back and forth with a friend and my daughter looked stunned that I, her mother, and my friends could possibly have such amusing things to say to each other.

Hey FoxMom! Welcome to page two.... pull up a deck chair and grab a drink. This place serves everything from lemonade to margaritas. Hmmm, I think I'll have one of those margaritas!

d, some day you'll be touring the country - and then the world - on massive book signing tours. Visit Luv in JHB land along the way. She'll be chair of the Bakery Bureau or the Pina Colada Panel.....
