misc & co.: That's My Daughter
http://miscandco.blogspot.com/2009/07/thats-my-daughter.html
My little girl will be 6 years old in 14 days. And every day she asks me "How many days until my birthday? Which just about gave me a heart attack. Other days Flynn's content to be five for the time being and she doesn't want to be six. I know exactly how she feels. Some days I don't want to be 40, but I am. I just can't help it, especially since my birthday was last Monday and I said "Adios, 30's, it was nice knowing you.". After hearing this song, Flynn asked "Can you do that Mommy? 12 July, 2009.

I've had something in the works recently that I chose not to write about until now. About three weeks ago, while reading the church bulletin after Mass, I noticed that the local Catholic high school was looking to fill two full-time teaching positions in their English department. I ain't stupid. I know when Unseen Forces Are At Work. So I began the many-hooped process of seeking out a teaching job in the Catholic Diocese of Peoria and sent off a cover letter and resume to the high school's principal.

My Apologies Unca' Stevie. I've been reading a long time. According to my mother, I began reading independently when I was around 3 and after that never wanted her (or anybody) to read to me again. I wanted to read it myself. Fast forward seven or so years and, courtesy of my best friend and her older brother, I'd already read the. Lord of The Rings. Trilogy (a couple of times). Fantasy and Sci-Fi ruled my reading life. Stand out in my mind. But I've never been able to finish. To my Kindle (one of the mo...

I overheard this on the way home from school:. Flynn, I dare you to say weenis. No, Evan, I don't want to say that word. I dare you to say it. Say weenis. This from the children who never shut up about penis. Around here from those two. Makes me laugh out loud. Benign" Is A Beautiful Word. And consistent with my current diagnosis of Hashimoto'sThyroiditis. How do I know these things when I'm not even scheduled to see my doctor until tomorrow morning? The US. Postal Service. Today was my biopsy. So now I ...

Adventures in Modern Medicine. Flynn's temperature has been steadily creeping up since Wednesday night; 100 degrees, then 101, then topping out at 103 this morning. She slept fitfully again last night, tossing and turning and she'd developed this raspy breathing that reminded me of her. Bout with pneumonia last year. So I thought to err on the side of caution today and take her to see the doctor. The strep test came back negative. A virus. But we'll see what the lab says. She's now eating from her tray f...

This is exactly the way Flynn's saying "sorry" these days, though she's not anywhere near as evil as Gilly, the amazing Kristen Wiig's SNL. I love my little girl. Oh my goodness. what a laugh out loud sketch. And that is how Kaylee says sorry as well. :) Thanks for your response! Hopefully I can catch up with you sometime at the park or come Volition event! 05 August, 2009. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Shampoo-Banana, IL, United States. View my complete profile.

http://miscandco.blogspot.com/2009/07/shame-on-you-cnn.html
Shame On You, CNN. OK, so I'm at the gym this morning doing my thing on the elliptical machine; huffing and puffing away and I glance up at the bank of TV's on the wall. The Price Is Right. You probably know the clip I'm talking about; Michael's 11-year-old daughter, Paris-Michael, addressed the assembled crowd and millions of people watching around the world. She said she loved her Daddy and missed him very much, then collapsed in tears. It was a tribute to a dead man; a way of honoring his life and a w...

Lazy Hazy. You Know The Rest. So gently reminded me on Saturday, I haven't posted in quite a while. I've had ideas for posts floating around in my mind, then they'd get jumbled up with ideas for my upcoming classes and when I'd sit down to write I'd just get tired and/or frustrated and I'd just play a round of Bejeweled instead. I haven't really been even reading any blogs or leaving any comments. I've been AWOL. AND planning and executing two birthday parties for my daughter, who recently turned 6.

To Quote The Fairport Convention, "Who knows where the time goes? In the span of eight short years he's gone from this:. Frankly, I look at these pictures with disbelief and awe. How did he get to be so big? He was so tiny, weighing a mere 6 pounds, 4 ounces at his birth, to this beanpole boy who will be taller than his mother by the time he's 10. My first born, my little baby boy, is eight years old today. Happy Birthday, Evan! This Time 8 Years Ago. Um, OK, can I call my husband? Once we had been admit...
