Did You Know That Your Car Is Not For Storage?

Posted by: queenbee950 on: September 29, 2009

Ok – now that I’ve had a rant out how my husband obsesses regarding the outside of my car and all of the dings, scratches and dirt; it’s time to talk about the inside of the car. As the main chauffer of my house, my car is full of stuff.  Kid stuff, paper, water bottles, [...]

Bubble Wife of Schaumburg

Posted by: queenbee950 on: September 29, 2009

I drive my car in what I call my 10 mile radius around my house; to the school, to the grocery store, Target, doctors, the vet and work.  Everything I need to do is around this comfort zone.  I have no clue why I have settled in to this circle of suburban sprawl but it suits [...]

Constitutionality of Banning Peanut Products in School

Posted by: queenbee950 on: September 25, 2009

I am starting to wonder the constitutionality of not allowing peanut products eaten in my son’s 1st/2nd grade class room.  According to the Peanut Boy’s Mother, the other mothers that send peanut butter for lunch are trying to kill her son.  Now who ever brings peanut products must eat their pb & j’s in the [...]

Sick 2nd grader = Quiet House

Posted by: queenbee950 on: September 18, 2009

Ok, we are into week 4 of 2nd grade and my son Jx comes home with a virus.  No it’s not the swine virus or the regular flu virus but instead a knock you on your ass for 6 days kind of virus.  My son was so sick that he just lay on the couch [...]

Letter to New Principal – Drop and Go

Posted by: queenbee950 on: September 12, 2009

Dear New Principal: I wanted to say thank you for the “drop and go” system, it is a great new system for getting my son to class.  I would however, like to let you know of a snag in your system. My son is in 2nd grade and his classroom door is in the back [...]

New Curriculum/New School Year – Good?

Posted by: queenbee950 on: September 12, 2009

I am very happy with Jx teacher this year.  We just received a curriculum outline and this is what is expected of the kids:  “If your child’s homework takes more than 20-30 minutes to complete, please let us know.  Homework should be a review of the skills that we have been working on in class.” [...]

Dogs or Husbands – Who I Love More

Posted by: queenbee950 on: September 12, 2009

Why I like my dogs better than my husband.  Now you’re thinking what a whack-job she is but really there is logic involved – albeit girl-logic that I am putting into play.  My husband comes home after a long day and barely says hi as he grabs the remote and plops on the chair.  I start [...]

So Far So Good In 2nd Grade 2009

Posted by: queenbee950 on: September 10, 2009

11 days since school started and we are off and running in the 2nd grade – along with a few snags (of course).  The school smooshed the 1st and 2nd graders together this year in efforts to save money (the board only gave them enough money for 2 teachers and there were only 15 first [...]

I would like to share with you our nick-names for the people we run across daily in the 2nd grade. 1.  Veggie Mom – walks to school everyday with her 2 kids and brings a gallon sized Ziploc with lettuce and other crudités for their afternoon snack. 2.  Cry Baby – mom that causes the [...]
