    Is it mean to call my daughter "Alanis" when she misuses the word "ironic"?

      depends on whether she gets it or not. :)

      I miss her! And it's weird to think that I won't know whether she's doing okay or not. Even if she writes, it will take several days for the letter to get here.

      I mean, I was a camp counselor in my youth. I know she'll do fine. All of them do. But this feels DIFFERENT.

      My DS goes to sleepaway camp for the first time this Friday. I'm already a mess.

    Nice to "meet" you! My given name is actually also Rebecca; Rivka is a nickname from the Hebrew for my name. I enjoyed your posts on the thread that got deleted last night. :-)

      I agree, a lot of movies, conditioner and patience...

      Worked on the kids for almost eight hours straight yesterday. Electronic lice zapping comb, then medicated shampoo, then nit combing. Thank God for my regular babysitter who came over and did many loads of laundry while I combed.

    Ooh! Ooh! If more people post to a thread while you're writing your response, it TELLS you! And SHOWS you! I take back everything I ever said about the upgrade; this is awesome!

      I noticed this yesterday - I'm impressed with the upgrade overall, but this might be my favorite new feature!

      That is a GREAT feature. Also, we don't know what you said about the upgrade, but thanks for taking it back.

    Our Christmas tree is so ridiculously huge this year!

    So how old do kids have to be before they catch on to "Daddy and I are going to take a nap now"?

      Right now I think they just feel super lucky that they get to watch a movie.

    SO tired of being sick! I knew it was a mistake to send Colin to a nursery school that had a dancing petri dish as its mascot.

    1. FairProspects

      FairProspects

      LOL! What an awesome mascot though!

      All preschools should have that mascot!

    Text from a good friend: "Just did an open house at the local elementary school. Holy hell, when can you come over and teach us how to homeschool?"

      Ha - homeschool consulting = $50/hour, no? ;-) I know that feeling well. I wish them luck!

  14. Rivka

    Thanks for weighing in on the vaccine issue. It's a hard world for people who understand science.

  15. Rivka

    Volunteer-teaching outside classes would be awesome except for two things: the kids and the parents.

      LOL - isn't that the truth.
