How is life so busy? When did people ever have time to grow their own food and bake their own bread and sweep mud floors to a high gloss?
(I know the answer to this is that they didn’t have internet. Or American Idol. Or The Hills. Or chick lit. Or YouTube. Or chronic laziness.)
This is the last week of the 2000-08 school year and I have to tell you, I was done months ago. I feel like I’ve been waiting for this week my whole life. No more homework, permission slips, meetings, lunch money. No more rolling out of bed at 7:25 every morning on days I don’t have to work before noon! It’s like I’m four days away from living The Dream.
Except. My beauty-precious-gorgeousness baby boy graduates on Wednesday. My Little Guy. My Last Preschooler. I thought the first day of preschool with my first child was tough. This last preschool day with the last kid is sure to turn me into a snotty, sobbing mess. His teacher and I couldn’t look at each other today without Kleenex hosting an intervention. I might require sedation for a preschool graduation ceremony.
I have high hopes for this summer. Our plans include t-ball, swimming, and a summer concert. We’re going to have an extended visit from faraway friends, a high school reunion and hopefully a gigantic chunk of downtime to watch America’s Next Top Model reruns.
We were just discussing how people managed gardens, canned and kept a clean house back in the day. It’s because they didn’t have work 40+ hours a week AND do everything else.. you know.. bring home the bacon AND fry it up in the pan.
Plus.. they had all those kids to work in the fields.
I agree. I used to be so much more energetic. Now? Bring on Top Chef and a great book.
Glad to see you back.

I was just search for a “GOT PMS” shirt with get the F off my back and somehow I ended up at your blog. Left you my own blog. I dont cuss as much and I am not as eloquently funny. Thought I was. I live in Charlotte NC and have a 5 yr old daughter. My hair is expensive blonde. And my teeth are straight and white thanks to braces at 10, Invisalign at 34, and whitening gel. Greetings!
I dont know how to pull that back and edit. To rephrase ” I was just searching…”
