Yesterday was the Boy’s Valentine’s Day Party at school. To prove that I am not the oldest, laziest mother on the planet, of course I jumped at the chance to provide cupcakes for said party.
*note to self – they are happier, apparently, with those tiny, nasty little cupcakes from Walmart. Next time, grab a bag [...]

The Times…They are a Changin’
Posted in The Sub, boys, kids, parenting, school on December 12, 2007 | 6 Comments »
So, ya’ll know how the Sub has been subbing pretty much on a regular basis since she graduated from college with a Bachelors Degree in Marketing and Business Administration and hasn’t been able to land the dream job.

Do y’all remember the days and weeks following September 11, 2001? We all drove around with our lights on and every car and house was sporting an American flag. We all seemed more patient with one another, more tolerant, more forgiving. Our world was so rocked, it seemed stupid fighting over a parking spot.

I can’t for the life of me put a cohesive post together, so we’re going the random bullet direction:

it was the collective exhale of thousands of parents across Texas who were dropping off their beloved offspring at school this fine morning after a long, wet summer.
to those of us who are stay-at-home/work-at-home types, it has been a particularly trying few months, since the majority of the time it was either:
