I absolutely love the fact that we have Jack in Catholic school. It is the right place for him. His teacher is wonderful and we are part of a terrific community there. It kills me that we’re moving away and that our future is so up in the air right now.
I would [...]

Homework

Do you think he’ll be this excited when it’s his own homework in a few years?

Pride
December 4th, 2007 · 4 Comments · Family, Hidden Talents, Milestones, Parenting, School
Well, if pride is one of the Seven Deadly Sins (and I’m pretty sure it is) Maria and I are six feet under.
Maria’s grin couldn’t have been bigger yesterday when I picked her up from preschool. Proudly, she thrust out her chest and across it were three stickers: “I know my birthday!” [...]

Pajama Party
November 15th, 2007 · 5 Comments · Dads, Parenting, Picture Taking, School
It’s always some kind of party when we get a box from Maddog and Gran. Today it was a jammie party, as we received a boxful of new jammies for everyone.
As you can see from the photos, my new camera isn’t quite the miracle I was hoping for. Don’t get me wrong — it’s [...]
After all that…

After all that guilt I inflicted upon myself, Jack said absolutely nothing about missing out on show and tell.
Glutton for punishment that I am, I had to mention it.
“Did we forget something today?” I asked him.
“What?” He said.
“Ummm… show and tell?”
“Yeah, you should have snuck in my room last night while I was sleeping to [...]

I’m SUCH a loser
September 12th, 2007 · No Comments · Parenting, School
Right now… RIGHT NOW - 1:10 p.m. on Wednesday, September 12, 2007 is Jack’s very first show and tell.
And, HE HAS NOTHING.
Ugh. I am sick to my stomach. Jack is going to be just crushed. Sign me up for the Worst Mom of the Year Award. All last year in preschool there was never a [...]

It Happened
September 7th, 2007 · No Comments · Family, School
Well, it was bound to happen eventually. Kind of like a ding on a new car. Somehow, once it happens, you can relax just a little, knowing you got it out of the way.
Any guesses as to what I’m referring to?
THE PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE.
Yep, Jack crossed the line today at school and was sent to the [...]

*&%$#@!!
August 30th, 2007 · No Comments · Parenting, School
Yesterday, Jack came home from kindergarten with a note from TBTITWW:
“Mr. and Mrs. Hemmersmeier,
I have asked Jack not to use the word “freakin” in the classroom. Thank you.”
Well, sh*t. At least it wasn’t the real f-word. I have improved a little.
This is seriously embarrassing. As you all know me fairly well, you know where Jack [...]

We All Cried
August 25th, 2007 · No Comments · Parenting, School
I could tell Jack was in a mood yesterday when I picked him up from school. Usually he bounds into the car with a big grin and tells me what a great day he had. Not this time.
The librarian walked him to the car (okay - minivan) and sorrowfully explained that she had had to [...]

I’m a member…

…of the PTA!!! (Okay, at Jack’s school it’s the HSA, but same thing). Me. Susan. Formerly known as I’m-never-going-to-have-children-as-long-as-I-live girl.
My name is Susan and despite my first 27 years, I married a law-abider. I had kids (not just one or two spaced out, mind you, but FOUR in five years). I drive a mini-van. And, [...]
