Poor Neily Bear

      Comments Off on Poor Neily Bear

Every soccer season you can bet that we will make at least one trip to urgent care. This year it was Neil’s turn. A thirteen year old girl tripped him at practice on Tuesday night. After two days of saying, “Ah, it’s only a sprain,” he finally couldn’t stand the pain and swelling anymore. He had it looked at today and was told he has torn ankle ligaments. Will he ever learn that he is not a kid anymore?! It is really gross-looking so I won’t subject you to actual photos.

I think it’s funny, though, that he looked at my blog and said, “Hey, how come you didn’t write anything about my foot on there?” So this post is just for you, Neily Bear. 🙂


School Projects

      Comments Off on School Projects

I love, love, love school projects! My kids have to beg me to leave them alone. I just want to take over and go to town! I can’t help it…creating things is what I do for a living, right? Not letting me help them with their projects would be like a plumber not fixing the pipes in his own house, ya know?

Here is “Erica’s” latest project. She had to write a memoir and create a scrapbook page for a scene from “Lord of the Flies.” Okay, give me a break!!!!!!!!! She had to create a scrapbook page…and I’m not supposed to get involved????? Impossible!! I would absolutely break out in hives knowing that a scrapbook page was being created in my house and I couldn’t be a part of it!!

On the bottom is a dead pig and a blood-stained (with red craft ink) spear on the beach. Ahhh…I love having girls.

Hmmm…What Title Would YOU Give this Post??

      1 Comment on Hmmm…What Title Would YOU Give this Post??

Here are my top ten choices of possible titles for this post (puns and tongue-in-cheek intended!)

10) “Yes, the sole purpose of my blog IS to brag about my children! So what are you gonna do about it?”

9) “Adrienne, behold your future!”

8) “I now officially pass the celebrity photo-op torch to Adrienne”

7) “What did your kid do today? Here’s what mine did.”

6) “Adrienne, if there was ever a time to set aside your political opinions and be politically correct…the time is NOW!”
5) “Mom, I have nothing to wear!”

4) “Yes, Adrienne, you have permission to cut class today”

3) “Say “Cheese!””

2) “Instead of calling the movie “My Date with the President’s Daughter” Disney should rename it “My Daughter’s Date with the (Vice) President”

AND MY NUMBER ONE CHOICE FOR A TITLE FOR THIS POST……..DRUM ROLL PLEASE….

1) “No, you cannot wear your ‘Vote for Obama’ button!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
What on earth am I talking about, you ask? Adrienne and my parents attended a political fundraiser today with the sole purpose of meeting and having their picture taken with President George W. Bush. Unfortunately, President Bush canceled his appearance so that he could stay in Washington to help with the major economic turmoil going on right now. (I could say so many nasty things right now, but I will take my own advice and be politically correct!)

Vice President Dick Cheney filled in for the President. So yes, my baby spent the afternoon chit-chatting with politicians and having her picture taken with the Vice President of the United States of America. President Bush called and apologized to the crowd on speaker phone for not being able to attend.

I don’t think life can get much cooler than that for a fifteen-year-old girl with a major interest in politics. As a matter of fact, regardless of what your political opinions are, I don’t think life can get much cooler than that…period. I’m sure Adrienne will look back on this day as one of the top ten best experiences of her life. (Unless, of course, she takes his place one day.) Thank you to Uncle Johnny for making it all happen!

The actual photo with the V.P. was taken by the official White House photographer so we don’t have it yet. In the meantime, here are some candid shots.

The event was held at a home in Jupiter. It just so happens that Sarah just started working as a nanny for the girls whose father owns the house. So Adrienne and Sarah got to hang out together. I remember many moons ago when Adrienne and Erica had there first sleep-over at Leah and Sarah’s. Now they are schmoozing with world leaders together! (Remember…light mood!)


You can rest assured knowing that being the obnoxiously braggy mom that I am, I will definitely post THE picture when we get it! I know you will all be holding your breath!!!
