Dilemma of the Day...to go or not to go?
It is 7:23 AM. Upper School Parent Day starts in less than an hour. I am happily working at my computer when Mate stumbles in, bleary eyed. He had the post-movie pickup duty last night... Mate: So, what are we doing? Me: About what? Mate: Upper School Parent Day. Me: You are NOT actually cons...
He's asleep!

The Last First Day
An email from Oldest arrived in my inbox today... Subject: Last First Day of School What does it take to get a boy who grows up to be a man ( a Senior in college!) that is this sweet? I really can't tell you. All I know is that, if you are very lucky, there comes a moment when all the long ...
And a pretty awesome boy, too!

I have found at least one good thing about Middle's departure. I got to ditch the following from our Tivo Season Pass list: Superjail. Does anyone know what this show means? Nitro Circus Cause I know you want a taste, here is today's Daily Download. MANswers OMG, if I had known what this show...
Well that makes me feel much better! And it is a toy vintage race car - definitely a toy!

Lost and found
Middle, yes, Middle, is leaving for college next week. Don't. Get. Me. Started. In the course of filling out the endless stream of paperwork, I came across his childhood immunization record on the form I had to fill out when we ditched our old pediatrician and found a new one seven years ago. ...
Thanks Mizmell. It HAS been a while...

Parenting advice from a CEO? Who'd a thunk it?
I read this interview today in the NYTimes. I highly recommend it for parents for its applicability to parenting and for kids who will someday soon venture into the job market. Take-home for parents: Be patient. Be calm. Be thankful. Be a problem-solver, not a problem-creator. Value emotional in...
Thanks Rahul! And yes, I agree that the idea of developing "operational awareness" is a worthy task for all of us. I always like the idea of fairness prevailing. In fact, that is what my new non-profit is ALL about. Here is the reason I have been such a slacker in the End of Motherhood department.

Meno, what does "the best you can" mean to you? For me it means trying to find that elusive shade - to believe in them just at the outside edge of their belief in themselves. And the fact that they are all different - well that's what makes it so challenging and fun.

Day 5: Oh, well, at least it's the New Yorker...
Let’s start with the bright side, shall we? It’s the New Yorker. And it’s the only thing on the floor. It is even possible that the object of my son’s attention was the article and not the cartoon. What?!!? I didn’t say it was “likely.” And even if it was the cartoon, it’s still a step u...
