After worrying that the homework was going to be hard, it turned out to be more reading. We were already reading and tracking the books we read in a daily journal. Now, we are reading more books that the teachers hand pick specifically for each child. The good thing is that Alex can pretty much […]
How the h**l is homework going to fit into our routine???
I just got an email from my daughter’s teacher that the homework log will be coming home in the backpack. The infamous backpack. I have no idea how homework or anything was communicated in the olden days. Now a days, if you don’t check the backpack you are s**t out of luck. I can not […]
Look forward to waiting for 8 hours to see the 44th president
I along with probably millions of people tried to get one of the 5000 bleacher seats that were sold to the public for next week’s inaugural parade. My friend Elaine and I spent most of the morning strategizing on how were going to try to buy the tickets. I even called American Express to see […]
The Teen Years are going to be ugly
Look at that face? Its the face of a smart aleck who seems to have all the come backs. Somehow, I have lost control of this child. The listening has gone the way of the wind. I just don’t get it, I know she is testing me. Give me a f, ladies and gentlemen. For […]
Sinking in the Quicksand
Instead of starting to look for job, I am buying a pair of slippers at Filene’s Basement. Afterwards, I sat looking out at the square overwhelmed by the task at hand and where to begin in my search. There is so much whirling around in my head that I feel like I am sinking.
A Day at the Museum
After our playdate with my friend and her adorable daughter, we braved the bitter winter cold and headed to the Natural History Museum/Hayden Planetarium. Since my friends lives uptown, I try to get a quick museum trip in so I at least get some culture in even if its only for 15 minutes. I also […]
The downside to living in a full service building
It is Jan 2 and I have yet to give out the bonuses to the workers in the building. Frankly, given my financial situation (no job), I shouldn’t be giving out tips this year. But seriously, just giving the minimum $40 for a years worth of services seems like a paltry sum to withhold. Right??? UGH!!! […]
A Trip to the movies Happy- Go- Lucky
Just came back from seeing Happy-Go-Lucky. On the one hand, I was surprised that the theater was packed but on second thought I am sure that many people were looking for a pick me up movie on the first day of the new year. I was certainly looking for a movie with a happy message […]
2009 New Year’s Resolutions
Here we go again. Like everyone else, I have a whole slew of resolutions that I would like to start and every year and each year, they go the way of the wind. So again, we will try to accomplish something. You guys can keep me honest as to how I am doing. 1. Lose […]
My first post
Finally!!!! I have been talking about this for month and I really don’t have a lot to report. It is week 2 of winter vacation and I probably going to need time off for myself after having to spending 2 solid weeks with my daughter. This is the downside to being a single mom, its […]
