Edgy Mama

I’m off to Atlanta for my, gasp, 25th high school reunion. Damn.

I’d planned to hunt down some photos from high school, scan them, and put them up on the bloggie. But did I mention I’ve been single parenting all week?

I’d planned to get a pedicure and shave my legs, but that hasn’t happened either. Luckily, my middle sister will be in Atlanta as well (it’s her 20th reunion), and she went shopping for me yesterday and told me exactly what to pack and what I’m wearing. Sisters rock.

In reality, I have no clue what I’ve packed.

Anyway, I’m taking my camera, so I’ll have some fun 25 years later photos. Some of which I might be able to compare to high school shots. One day.

Have a great weekend!

Today was the second day of school for my kidlings. The second day of “big” school for the boy. They both are loving it. And Mama is loving it.

I’ve written a column about the first day, but I can’t share it with you until it’s published (Monday, I hope).

One of my highlights from day one was waking up the boy. The first thing out of his precious mouth was: “Mommy, I’m going to learn to read today!”

I told him he might learn some new words, but…

He interrupted me. “I’m going to learn to read and come home and read all the books in my room!”

After school, he said, “Well, I didn’t learn to read today. But I will soon.”

Gotta love the drive.
