We were talking about Jx’s aunties at dinner time and he was a bit confused about who was who (mainly my friends). His dad was telling him about his sisters and when he said Auntie Sx, I chimed in and told him that Uncle Lx (is your uncle). He looked at me and said – [...]

Only 1 day of first grade left before summer break and I feel euphoric. Looking through Jx’s backpack today I came across an envelope addressed to the parents of Jx: I instantly got an ache in my stomach as I slowly opened the inevitable Impending doom. I curse at the paper, “what did he do [...]

I am thinking that his early retirement is a good thing – really. _________________________________________________________ Thank you for your understanding of the delay in not only my investigation but in [...]

It’s Friday, and I’m thinking Woo Hoo, Taskmaster is on vacation until Wednesday and hopefully the homework won’t be that ginourmous. Well Jx walks in the front door and the first thing I notice is a HUGE black and blue mark on his cheek-bone under his eye. I ask him what happened and he proceeds [...]

With summer vacation soon upon us I am thinking, hmmm what exciting and outrageous things will I get to write about? Well low and behold my school decides to mess with the first grade parents again. When our kids were in kindergarten, they wanted to make 1 class with 30 kids. This plan didn’t go [...]
