Now tagless for your comfort.

DO IT, GUD!

Owen starts next Tuesday. All day, every day. Getting on the bus at 8:30. I'm completely freaked out.

Not sure about Liv's preschool schedule just yet. Need to figure that out.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Not until 9/10, but that may not happen for us anyway.

I have just as many calls to make as I did on Thurs/Fri and none of the adrenaline to help me out. Should I chug caffeine? (only half joking)

Our wings are not tired.

In general, how do kids handle it if their team gets beaten badly?

For the most part my boys have handled it well, but when kids on a team (either side) cry it kills me.

Doing the dance of 2nd week of school here. My life has something resembling a routine and everything.

We are into week 3 here. Almost have a routine for mornings and homework in the afternoon.

Today - he has to make a sockpuppet for his French class. Seriously. Ummmm, I'm clueless, so this will be fun.

Well, first, he has to have internet access...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My theory - they don't want the kids to swear in French, so their solution is for the kids to make their sockpuppets swear.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Emmett can walk away from even a championship loss and be laughing and goofing with his friends minutes later. Not that he's lost a lot of championship games. In fact, I don't know that he's lost in a game for a championship. We've come in third and lower, but never second. Huh. Anyway, he's still lost important tournament and all-star games and it doesn't faze him.

He starts school on Wednesday. They start with a short week, and then they've got another short week with Labor Day weekend to help ease them into the year.

He's in 8th grade. His last year of middle school. Next year Emmett's going to be in High School! Yikes.

Coding and Sleeping

Next year Emmett's going to be in High School!

Heh. Good one, but it's pretty obvious that can't really be true.
