Random rants

Annie lost her second tooth this week. Unfortunately I was out of town, and her daddy's tooth fairy brought significantly more cash than my tooth fairy did for tooth #1. At least she hasn't quite figured out the full value of the numbers on the bills yet, so my $1 doesn't seem too puny. Here's the toothless wonder herself.




This May is going to be chaos. I literally had to make a separate schedule for myself for the kids activities (besides my normal calendar) between now and when school gets out so I don't miss anything. So far we've got:

Kindergarten field day
Kindergarten picnic
Elementary school carnival
Kindergarten math day
Mother's day brunch with Will
Will's book fair
3 birthday parties
Two dance recital rehearsals
One dance recital
And one cousin's baptism

I need three months to get all that done! I mean seriously, is it all necessary? Can't they combine the field day, picnic, and math hour into one relay event that's a hot dog eating, potato sack race where they count their hops? And two dance rehearsals? Seems extreme for six yr olds who are going to mostly stand there anyway... I mean we're really only there to see them in costume anyway, right?

On that note, I swear my daughter's ballet costume looks like a Playboy bunny outfit. It IS a bunny costume, tutu, tail, ears and all. If she was 16 instead of 6, it would be obscene. Yikes!

Speaking of obscene, Annie has recently noticed her "ribs". That's what she called them at least when she asked me where mine were and looked down the front of my shirt. I had to explain to her that her breasts were not her ribs, however absent they might be at the moment. Hopefully she'll inherit her "ribs" from my sister or my Aunt Margaret and not from me, as she searches desperately down my blouse for them to appear...
