So, now you all know about my fondness for fluff television. I might as well come clean. I like Big Brother and wish Janelle would have won. I love American Idol and tape it if I’m away from the television. I’m not crazy about MTV’s Real World anymore, but I watch enough so I know who the new kids are on the RW/RR challenges. Speaking of new kids, I was supposed to marry Donnie Wahlberg. And then Guns ‘N Roses happened. Sigh.
My son is struggling with balancing school responsibilities with play time. Tonight I sat down with him and developed a strategy for getting his project done by Friday by skimming the book. Then he’ll have to re-read the last bit over the weekend to pass the quiz. And THEN! We won’t slack. Ever again. From now until college graduation, there will be no more procrastinating. All projects will be done long before the deadline and then I will have to call the hospital and ask that they give me my child back because certainly there was a mix-up in the nursery because this child who completes assignments on time could not have sprung from these loins!
I introduced my daughter to Pippi Longstocking tonight. She wrinkled her nose at first, but then I told her that Pippi was the Junie B. of my day and she warmed up a bit. I heard her reading out loud in her room and she was really getting into it.
I had something else I wanted to write about, but I can’t remember now. I just ate some ice cream and my teeth are suddenly smarting. Ouch.
