During school, out on the field, I remembered good old Mrs.
Wheelock from Goddard Junior High. This
woman was a stout black woman with curly hair and glasses and the coolest long fingernails I have ever
seen. Her nails were beautiful – often with
peach nail polish. I wishwishwish Mrs. Wheelock were here to
get this kids into shape.
Lawdamighty.... She woulda NEVER have allowed such behavior on the field
as our coach.
It came to my attention that I had yet another clothing
malfunction – and this was after asking my children if everything was in
order. I noticed, during a visit to the
ladies room, that my shirt, which looks fine from my viewpoint, is essentially
see-through in the right lighting. Black
bra there for all to see. I need help.
I headed to The Kid's School to watch The Girl during her
practice. I will not be able to make it
to tomorrow’s track meet (held at my workplace on the track I’m on every day),
so I told her I’d cheer her on this way. It
was nice to sit there and watch her while I helped Ethan a bit with his
homework. Soon, I’ll be able to hang out
with my kids and support them at their games and meets and school events.
At home, Ethan and I got to homework. I’m close to finishing up my
4th section of The Big Paper, but
kept being distracted by this kid named
Ethan. Actually, it was Google…we’d talk
about things (for example, he brought up WW2 and the sinking of the USS Indianapolis
<which made me think of my friend Dorothy’s dad Bruce!!!> and then we
spoke of politics <the cold war> , then I showed him Puerto Rico and the zip
line, then I showed him what the baby I had in my dream when I was 6 looked
like. Her name was Noodles and she
looked like a pre-cabbage patch kid who walked and talked as soon as I gave birth, then we talked about sirens in Europe and
I showed him how they sounded <via youtube>…then we talked about Klosters and I showed him the
Gotchna Bahn and my sweet Gaudy’s Grasströchni.
Then Maggie came in and sang for us and I was dazzled by her amazing
voice. I need to get this kid some
singing lessons, absolutely. A voice so
beautiful should be trained so when we both learn how to play guitars, we are
ready. How in the hell did I manage to get my paper <mostly>done? The most exciting part??? We looked up his coin again, the umpteenth time
in years and FOUND IT!!!! It isn’t
Ancient Greek or Roman, it’s pre-Roman Britain and the king Conubelin, who
ruled from late AD to about 40BC. How
very exciting!!!! We need to get that
sucker insured, asap.
4th section of The Big Paper, but
Pictures: This morning, I found Inuit Dude chilling in his native habitat. He looked pretty damn happy; My girl, running like the wind at her track pre-meet; A pencil made from recycled papers that Ethan was using his homework while we watched Mags.
