Hiding in a closet? Wow, Peachy, sounds like some of those people need to volunteer for the looney bin. What do they make you do at school?

Tomorrow I have volunteered to walk around this scintillating European village with the teacher, 2 other moms and 27 little kids so the kids can show each other where they live. Frau N. (who wears much too much eye makeup) is going to take a picture of each front door so she can make a collage for the classroom. Guess what I've been doing all day? Sweeping and scraping the slugs off the walkway, that's what.

Ds6 has this student teacher who is, dare I say it,a real hottie. She looks about 20, has a pixie cut and wears hipsters, wide belts and tight t-shirts. I mean, really. But actually, she is extremely nice and perky and apparently has some wonderful ideas to pep up this booooooring school, so I don't care what she wears. Wonder how long it'll take before all the 6 yr old boys are in with her?

Kiwi, I hear the best way to make people think you are a cleanie is to dab a little of that pine cleaner behind your ears! Now you've made me want to scrub the cr*p out of MY bathroom floor. I did it once and it hardly made a difference because the tiles are from 1969 and very groovy, baby.:hypno2:

Hi Daphne! Nice to hear from you again. Those little girls in England were also found murdered and the prime suspects are the school caretaker and his girlfriend, a former subsitute teacher at the school. How lovely. The guy apparently had a history of mental problems and they let him work at a school.

Bagzie -

CU all later!

Your town has even worse misfits than mine, Peachie! And more suspicious, I think.

I am so sickened by all these cases of wackos preying on children that are all over the media these days. There was a big spread about the bodies found in Oregon in our newspaper. Wabbit is probably glad she is away this week. What a nightmare for their town.

Sugar, you just have the weirdest school things going on over there. I would die if DD's teachers and class wandered by our front door.

DD seemed to be pumped right up about her first day of school. My forceful intervention last spring to get her out of basic computer/typing class into a possibly interesting computer course has paid off. The class has only 5 students in it so far, DD and one of her friends (who followed her lead last spring) and 3 older guys ( ) and they will be working on the school's website 2nd semester.

One bad thing was that there were so few 8th graders who made it through algebra last year --only 10 -- that they put them into the geometry classes with sophomores. So, instead of being in an accelerated class, they will be in with the average 10th graders :sheep:, hardly very motivating, I should think.

Well, life goes on. Tomorrow we are taking our cleanie dietitian friend and her dh and going sailing for the long weekend . DD is going rock mining with one of her friends. Fun fun fun.

Later gators.

thanks for the group hug,sugarpie----we just had the burial today,so it is exactly one week since we went to PEI---last Thursday night i was enjoying my amaretto and milk with my dear brother in law George and his wife and the rest of the gang---we all try to get together at least once in a summer-----this was the second time----we had a great time----today we are particularly upset as we have just read a piece from the Island Paper that describes how two people aware of the Undertow {which we weren't} almost drowned the day before George was drowned---- I know I shouldn't go on about this on this site,but it's all I can think about these days----i just wanted to thank you all for your sweet notes to me and my family---you guys are so sweet,even though you are big cows {i need to laugh} talk to you soon xoxoxoxo

to go sailing the ocean blue. Hope everyone has a good Labor Day weekend.

Hey, get this: I lost a few pounds just reading about fasting! What a deal!

Sugar told ME ONCE to dab vanilla extract behind my ears to catch a man. She's a expert on this ear stuff.

Bagzie, I was talking about what happened at work today and a woman there who works at the beach said the same thing .. they don't do much to warn tourists. They bring them to the beach to make a little money (or a lot of money) but don't bother putting up signs or passing out information on the dangers of riptides.

Kiwi, ds has been in high school for weeks and I can tell you that nothing happens there. He sees no one. He speaks to no one. Apparently, he's in suspended animation the whole day. I took him to get a haircut today and the barber asked him if there are cute girls at school. He said he hasn't seen any. I threatened to repeat that at school just to see if they girls would run him off and make him go to a different school.

*kiss* *bye*
