Would You Do It?

It doesn't look like this.
Miss Brunette and Blonde Girl have been working very hard at school.  In addition, Miss B has had to take a lot of classes regarding being lifeguard and swim instructor.  She also got her license, although we are not letting her drive all over.

The first night she had her license, she and Blonde Girl went to the good-bye party for the old elementary school.  I watched them drive away and BG had the window down and her elbow sticking out!  She thought she was very cool.  I told them to drive there and where to park.  "By ourselves" is what I heard.  "Yes, it is just down the street."

Last night, we went to the movies and the girls drove down to the local pizza place and picked up a pizza.  They also collected their movie from (still my favorite) Red Box.  All within the confines of our neighborhood.

The next subject that I want to discuss if one you know I hate.  Chickens!  They are dissecting chickens in Miss B's biology class.  The mass emails/phone calls went out to collect crock pots.  I got out  my old one for her.

"Mom, it is a whole chicken with all of it's parts and feathers.  This crock pot won't work.  I need you big, oval one."  OMG.  Are you kidding me?
My nice, beautiful crock pot holding a chicken with feathers!  I protested and left the other one out.  "Make it fit" was my only comment.

In the end, I was in the shower and she asked through the door if she could take the black crock pot.
"Go ahead, but you will be scrubbing it to death."

Ewww.  I may be in the market for another crock pot.

Appreciate This

It was a zoo.
 
Today was Teacher Appreciation Day.  I did get a Starbuck's card.  I forgot completely about an email I needed to do to have the children bring a ball to school.  Completely forgot it.  I lost my list with that reminder on it and recreated it.  But, that little fun fact was left off.

Then, I handed out the May calendar from 2012.  I don't know why or how.  Maybe it just happened to be in the file folder I was taking things to school in.  I am at a loss.

It was a little confusing. 

I fixed up my May calendar, sent it as an attachment and am having copies made for tomorrow.
