2 rooms down, 3 to go
The worst will be the cubs rooms. Or dens. I’ve been cleaning the other two rooms and dumping toys in there to be dealt with later. So it’s either the kitchen tomorrow or both rooms. Or even one room?
But I will say it feels super to get this out of the way as it’s been weighing on me for months now. Months. Cleaning! How silly. Get a real problem.
Great job cleaning, Mrs. Woolstone
Screwing around on tumblr and replying to LOA’s facebook posts with ridiculousness.
Where’s my manny?
And what is with hiding popsicle sticks and lolly pop sticks and other assorted candy trash underneath things? What is it? Our house is fairly tiny, the trash can is not that far off.
This used to be my home. It was cozy and nice. Now it’s a wreck.
Vacuum!
No, there ARE a lot of kids in the neighborhood
Not, “there is a lot of kids in the neighborhood.”

wow, thats really dumb. I’d lodge a serious complaint. If a kids in the district for the school then there should be busing available or at least have the option to add them on at a pickup spot
I know, I know. No option. If we lived 5 houses away on the other side of the street we’d get bus service.

i guess they have to draw the line somewhere though. Unfortunatlely its right by you. Can they not ride if they walk down the way and get on? I used to have to walk about 15 min through the woods to get the bus. didn’t come to my house either
Oh, it comes right down our street and the stop is half a block, a short half block from our house....

this happened to me. my neighborhood didn’t get a bus but the one right next to us did. the bus stop was literally 30 ft from my house. so if i wanted to ride the bus i would just walk over there and get on. can you just put him on there?
Nope. That would be illegally riding the bus. I guess they do a headcount and have a clipboard with lists...

I think you can get around this if you say they are at “babysitters” house and then walk them down the street to where they are picking up kids.
Yeah, I don’t know. I’ve made quite the fuss already talking to all these people. They’ve all said these things almost never get approved but the business office guy said he’d...
Ridiculous
Our neighbor’s son rode the bus for 6 years. My son does not get to ride the bus.
I called the transportation department and was told the neighbor must’ve rode the bus illegally. I told his mom that and she was so irate she called the department herself. They told her the same thing and she asked why they’d sent a postcard every year. “Must’ve been a computer...
Oh school bus department
You and I are going to have serious words.

Full circle
Big day, big weekend. Cub 2 and I watched 2012 and then they had a bath and went to sleep. I fell asleep shortly after that and woke up to find Big Trouble in Little China on the TV. Now that’s over and 2012 is on again. Guess that means it’s time for sleep again? Hope it doesn’t mean I have to stay up until the end of the world. School starts too early in the am.

USB cable?
Oh, well that would make sense, wouldn’t it? That could take the place of the stick thingie….I think.

makes sense, seeing all the other kids going to kindergarten WHERE DID THEY COME FROM MA
The stork!
Jesus, of all days to ask that kind of question. I mumbled something about “stomach,” which of course made him ask if they came out the belly button.
“Did it hurt when you had me?”
“No, they gave me...

Dropped him off, told him I love him, he told me he loves me, blew me a kiss, and ran into school with a big smile.
And I cried all the way home. Still pulling it together.
It’s all good, really, I know. It has been a tough summer discipline wise and I know he’ll respond better to a non family member and he’ll learn so much and not drive me bananas all day.
But oh my. What...
First day of kindergarten
Great morning to ask where babies come out. In the car, in the school parking lot.
First official day of kindergarten for cub 1
Weepy. He seems excited and that’s all that matters. I just hope he behaves.
Liberty Bell
I think. Hope the cubs like it.
