Random thoughts from the Mayor

I can't seem to wrap my mind around a complete thought for a post this week. Some days there are a dozen things I'd like to write about and no time to write. This week there is time, but.......sigh, nothing. So I thought I'd share some fun and funny things that have happened this week in "C-town"

Kate came home from preschool and when I asked how her day had gone she simply said "Not good, mom." This was a change from her usually animated descriptions, so I asked what had happened to make it not good. "I was bored." she said. "They just didn't have enough for me to do today." HA! Good stuff.

I went to pick up Tess from an after school activity and a teacher I hadn't met asked if I was her mom. Not sure whether I should admit to this or not (haha) I hesitantly said "yes." She then looked at me like she had the most delicious secret and said "I just love your daughter...she is just amazing. I didn't get to have her in my class this year, but I...JUST...LOVE...HER." Not to brag, okay forget it, I'm getting ready to brag......but this is the 2nd time I have had an interaction with a teacher about this! Tess's first grade teacher was new to the school, and she told me at Parent Teacher conferences that she just loved having Tess in her class, and thought it was fun that the other teachers were so jealous of her! My buttons are bursting with pride...and fat.....but mostly pride.

To give equal press time to the young residents of Crazytown, I need to type something about Baby Jane. I wish I could spell all the new words that she can say! She points and "talks" to tell us what she wants, she can shake her head to indicate "yes" and she just loves to scrunch up her face and give a cheesy grin. Such a funny girl. It will be interesting to see what she thinks of wearing a Halloween costume.

Happy Halloweeeeen! My costume is black fingernail polish that I applied during "Grooming & Hygiene" group yesterday at work. Pretty sure I am going to regret that decision when it's time to take the polish off. I have to say that I've felt pretty sassy though, with my freaky black nails.

It's almost Friday!
