Hope those antibiotics do the job, fast, Nora!
There must be a stand-up comedy camp for CJ...

Oh, Nora! That's SO sucky! Hope you feel better soon.

So, turns out I didn't need to start doing my homework for class yet. Oh, well. No wonder I was so lost! We haven't covered this stuff yet!
It's not too early for ice cream, right? Good.

What is even happening?
CJ gets out of school on Thursday and I have made NO plans for his summer. I'm a bad mom. GAH!!!!
Our kindergarten mother e-mail list has been full of, "I signed Johnny up for this," sorts of messages.
We're a one-car family right now, and the dh's job has transferred to a place not accessible by public transit (the 2nd car died the week he was transferred and would cost more to fix than it's worth). I have signed my kids up for nothing, and I don't even care.
Maybe it's just me, but I remember the summers of my childhood as this magical time when I could just go do nothing (cf Christopher Robin), and I actually think I'm giving my kids something by giving them a season of nothing.

OMG, that would be perfect. I was just thinking about how to channel that energy. He needs a Jim Carrey school of comedy.

I do believe I read a certain Nutty one reporting ice cream for breakfast.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Wow, Fay, 1000 pounds a week?
I know, I know. I'd have to rob a bank.
But, dude. Did you SEE the ship? I didn't have any idea that this kind of thing was attainable. I mean, I spent £700 getting out to San Francisco from Egypt, so £1000 seems less horrific than it would have done before. Because - pirate tall ship!!! While I'm being a TEACHER IN SIAM!!!!!

Suzi, there's a list of Berkeley/Oakland/El Cerrito camps here: [link]
Maybe you can sign him up for some drama, or something.

I think I will be ready for ice cream after I get myself some coffee. I know I will be ready for ice cream after this morning's meeting.

For what it's worth, we're seeing the first wave of "over-scheduled, over-protected" children in colleges and universities and lack of independence (and initiative) is a common complaint among professors.

I think that there's over scheduled, and then there's energy to burn. Some of my nieces and nephews -- well, let me say it like this -- my sisters need a break from some of their kids. One of my sisters once described her son as "like having a dog -- if he doesn't get out for a good run every day he'd chew my furniture." When she's working full time, she doesn't always have the time to get him out for that run.
