cool or cheesy?

Jordan is in Grade 1 this year without any of her friends from last year. Privacy rules being what they are, we as parents get no class lists or last names of the kids or phone numbers of other parents. It's kind of annoying. Jordan has played with a couple of the kids from her class, but half the time she doesn't remember what the kids names are, never mind the last names or who their mothers are.

A friend of mine suggested looking up mommy business cards online. I looked. They're cute. It's something you could give to a mom on a playground instead of looking for a pen and paper to exchange information, or tuck inside a birthday invitation or give to Jordan to send home with a new friend at school to give to the other parents. This is what I found. Not sure if I'm going to do it or not. What do you think, cute or cheesy?

i think they'd be neat for you to have on hand as you pick up Jordan from school, if you do meet any of her friends and parents that Jordan seems to want to get together with or is genuinely close with, they have an intro to you. Would it be bad to have Steven's name on there somewhere (just so they know, there would possibly be either of you caring for their kid if they were at your place??). I think sending them in birthday invites is good too...altho by the time Jordan's b-day rolls around, you'll prob be well acquainted with her friends and other parents.

Well, I've given out my actual business card to some moms and I hate it because my job is on there and the Department I'm contracted through is our children's protective services and I hate that they think I might be a DHS worker. (Dept of Human Services). I have blog business cards, but I didn't want the moms to know about my blog.

If I would have had a mommy business card, I'd have been all set. I love them.

dinnertime/breakfast time woes

Suppertime is such a performance sometimes. Why is it so hard to get kids to eat their supper? Last winter I started cooking all these fun meals out of these healthy living cookbooks. There was pasta, cheese, cooked spinach (I love spinach in foods), stir fries, fun burgers, etc. The kids would see a hint of green and spend the next twenty minutes moaning and choking it down. That's the older two. The younger two wouldn't even pretend to try. Eventually I kind of gave up and went back to the regular five dinners that I remake over and over and over and just made sure to serve them with salads and veggies. Jordan eats. Tennyson whines about not liking noodles, potatoes or vegetables but usually we can bully him into eating his dinner. Who doesn't like any side that goes with beef or chicken? Seriously? Not liking pasta? Or potatoes? Or rice unless it's floating in sweet and sour sauce? Good grief. I'm so glad that their pickiness is so individual to each child. Tha

two things: one to do with running, the other with my fastly-deteriorating fashion sense

I've started running again. I'm not sure if I ever "officially" stopped, but I only ran twice in August, totalling about nine miles, so I kind of felt like when I restarted in September that I was, well, restarting. This is probably not even blog-worthy. It would probably be better served disappearing into the chasm that is facebook, but I need blog topics, so here it is. I once had a friend (coughcoughangelacough) who said that she didn't run outside because she was afraid that just maybe, she ran "funny," and people would see her. Being an awesome friend, I insisted that surely she didn't. I lied. I have never even seen her run. I have just recently decided that she does run funny. Wanna know why? (as if spell check didn't underline 'wanna') Everyone runs funny. Quite seriously, everyone . I prefer to run outside, because the treadmill sucks my will to live, and a mile or two in I turn into a sighing, eye-rolling teenager, o

today's to-do's

Things to do: dust. As if. It's been on my list for weeks, I mean, days. prepare income tax stuff. Too bad it's all scattered within different piles of papers throughout the house, garage, back lane, trunk of the neighbor's car. sort piles of paper (see previous). cook carrots and sweet potatoes. Puree into a delicious paste to be fed to the baby and sneaked into my family's dinner. make dinner (or "supper", if I don't want to sound all hoity toity ). Add "orange puree" and "white bean puree" to the pizza sauce. Wait to see if husband notices. daydream of the day when Steven's scurvy clears up. pick up the big kids from school (it lets out in 8 minutes. I should probably go now). okay, going . . . . . . okay, back. You'd be pleased to know that although school let out only 8 minutes after I posted that last bullet, I first went down and switched my wash into the dryer and started another load in the washer. I remember, once upo
