5 lost his first tooth. Two questions: Out of nowhere, I started totally sobbing like a baby about this. Is this a normal reaction? (Does not bode well for the impending first day of kindergarten.) And, what’s the going rate on first lost teeth at your house? The tooth fairy left $5. But we made a point of noting that we think the fairy may pay a little more for the first tooth.
I am going, all by myself, to visit hot little sister. I told her I don’t need to be too extravagantly entertained as, really, any significant time during which I am responsible for wiping only my own butt, and not three others, is a vacation. She sent this e-mail regarding my visit…
In honor of my sister coming and getting an entire weekend of “quiet” with her little sister, we are planning on having an incredibly blissful day/evening of activity. This is including but not limited to going to at LEAST one of the following movies: Music and Lyrics (Drew and Hugh), Catch and Release, (Jennifer Garner and that hottie from GO) and/or Because I Said So (Diane Keaton and Mandy Moore.) I would guess that post movie activities will include wine…maybe a margarita…maybe a martini…maybe ALL 3. Who knows. Either way, we will be OD’ing on movie popcorn and gigantic Diet Cokes and following it up with a nice buzz and some good guy free convo. Anyone who is interested is more than welcome!
Besides trying to make you jealous, I am also posting this to get your input on 1) which of the aforementioned movies should we see, and 2) faced with a rare, kid- free weekend… what’s your drink of choice?
Time for a reader poll. My teenage babysitter, a new driver, put all of the three (2, 3, and 5) in her car, no boosters or seats, and drove them to her house to get a movie. It is literally seven houses away from my house and around one corner - so not far, but still the idea leaves me with heart palpitations.
To fire or not to fire - that’s the question for you. And, what’s the scariest thing a teenage babysitter has done while babysitting your children? What level of judgment can/should we expect from this new generation of sixteen year olds?
