[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Burrell, much getting~into~good~kinder~ma for Frances. That issue is actually why I went to a Catholic school for K-3 - the public schools were overloaded.
sj, that is such awesome news. YAY!

Huh. The carpenter just left. Didn't say good-bye and left all of my doors open. Hopefully he doesn't need to get back in because I'm locking everything up and running off to the farmer's market before it closes.

Oh, that's obnoxious! Thanks mister, hope you weren't expecting me to read your mind!!!
I have an enormously dark hickey on my neck. Who wants to make bets on what sort of obnoxiously annoying things the GILF will say about it tonight?? Hmm????

You should practice your smug smile!
My ears are all blocked up from a cold and I have to get on a plane tomorrow. Please to cross your fingers that the decongestants do their trick and I don't suffer exploding eardrums. Oi!

School ma~~ Burell-- and actually, it is worth being anxious about.
and I'll aim a kick in your sister's direction. This is the place where if she can't help in a practical manner she should be sympathetic.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I remember well the incredible stress over finding the right schools for my kids. There was some serious trial and error there too. It isn't petty; it's being a loving mom.
I'm sure you remember my epic struggles with the SFUSD.
Fortunately, the neighborhood school closest to us has improved dramatically in is API scores over the last several years. It takes a while to learn how to parse the details to realize things like: the overall scores are down but that's because the school takes in a significant portion of immigrant kids still learning English or very poor kids. And that drilling down you can see that the level of teaching at the school that Matilda would get is probably a notch higher than reflected in the overall score.
