I’m feeling really scattered, so today’s gonna be all about the bullet points.
- Today I chaperoned a 1st grade field trip to the zoo. I actually enjoyed it. (Yes, that’s Jones in the dinosaur head)
- I also volunteered as the class mom for Shoo’s class next year and accepted the nomination for PTA secretary for Jones’ school.
- It looks like I may also be organizing the end of the season party for Jones’ soccer team for the third season in a row.
- I’m still wondering how I became a “soccer mom”, but at least I don’t drive a minivan (instead I cram kids and stuff into a Civic. My “green” side is happy).
- I’m throwing out the rest of the box of FiberOne bars. Yes, I do learn from my mistakes – sometimes it just takes more than one try.
- I heard from a friend who volunteered at the race that as far as she could tell, the water we drank came from garden hoses. EWWW! Good thing I subscribe to the “exposure to germs strengthens your immune system” method of parenting.
- There was also some sort of problem with the mixing of the ‘ade at the race. I told her I didn’t want to know.
- I ran a really hot, windy recovery run this afternoon. Afterwards I looked at Garmin and discovered I’d run the three miles in 9:12. 9:06, and 8:36. Where did that come from?
Every time we go to the zoo, we take a picture of Jones at the same tree to show how he’s grown. Today he insisted we needed a picture of me…
so will we be able to compare your height at your next visit? Sounds like a fun few trips! 🙂 BTW, I can’t believe my marathon is this close either!
I lovde the Woodley Park Zoo! Have they finished the elephant walk yet?And as far as I know, tap water from a hose is just teh same as tap water from an indoor facet; it’s just the hose itself that could be suspect. Still, like you said, germs are good for you.
You need some germ exposure! Love the pictures 🙂
Wow – room mom! Our kindergarten room mom was phenomenal & super-organized. I think I'd disappoint a lot of little tykes if I ever tried to take that on 🙂
Nice job taking the room mom and PTA secretary role. Too bad we don’t live closer, you would do well at our school (we go out for beer after meetings)I am in the same category….germs are good!
Why is there a T-Rex head at the zoo? Shouldn’t that be at a natural history museum? Holy moses, did you visit Jurassic Park??
Wow! You are a brave, brave Mom!! Look at you going all soccer Mom on us 🙂 That’s fantastic ;D
You are super mom! I agree that exposure to germs is good. Builds immunity.
But would you drink beer from a hose?Could you image if there were such a wondrous thing? A magical garden hose that only sprayed beer? Why, you’d have your own beer garden!But you wouldn’t invite ME, would you, sister? Just Teh ‘Bride.I’m a little bitter…. Mmmmm … bittterrrrr …And who the HELL is “eddie” because my word verification is “eateddie”?
