JAR's on The Defenders with Jerry McConnell.
Go Grace!
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

JAR has fallen off my radar. At first I was like, jars is? How is that possible?
As Grace gets more mobile, more communicative and more developed, she also gets naughtier, more demanding, and more stubborn (if that's even possible). She's exhausting me. The twins are winning.

Because books.
Hanna Andersson is like kids' clothes porn. It's very distressing. And expensive.

True of every child ever, really.

Out of context, and even in circa 3 years ago, this delights me. Reality me offers you my sympathies, though. Three is hard, from what I've seen. Three with Noah and Grace has to be especially interesting. Noah's precocious and very Mister Pickup from what I've heard, and Miss Gracie has always had an attitude, so surprise she's ramping it up to eleven.

Yeah, it's true of all children. What makes me happy and ashamed is how surprising all of this. I mean, she's so different than she used to be and so much better in some ways. It shows how low our bar was and sometimes is.
In other news, I have made it through a week of PD, classroom observations, back to school night, WASC crap. I have District level people visiting my classroom (look! here's the dog! look! there's the pony!) tomorrow and a boat load of grading. AND then Saturday I'm proctoring SATs. Good times!

sara, they are pretty wonderful, I'll say that much. But they are killing us. At preschool, Noah's teacher writes an accident report out whenever he has an accident, like bumping his head or getting hit with a door or falling off the wall. This week we've had 6 of them. And that's with 2 days with none.
I think I should start saving them.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I forgot to say yay for Suzi's job. That's wonderful, out-of-today's-ordinary news.
Matilda's new school is great news too.
I am having a wee dram. Of Drambuie. One should only drink Drambuie in wee drams. Sometimes more than a few wee drams, but always wee.

Also, sara, did you get your tickets?

Kat, it's always beyond wonderful to hear how Grace is doing. Noah too, of course. But I sympathize with the moms, having to keep up with the three-year-olds.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)
So I'm sort of drive-by posting here because I really should have been in bed an hour ago, but I posted yesterday in delurking that I was 75% sure I had a job on a cruise ship?
MAKE THAT 100%! Princess Cruises just hired me!!!!
I love my job right now, I really do (substitute teacher), but I am so so so so so excited about this!!!
