What we do for our children! Just think, if you homeschooled you wouldn’t have to run that gauntlet, plus Big-Eyed Boy would get an even better education.

I totally understand! We called them the flip-head parents or the dance card moms at our old school.

Some how I can’t seem to get with the program. I figured getting my kids there dressed in clean if not matching clothing with a nutritious lunch was more important than make-up. I still think that volunteering to do science enrichment is a better use of my time than selling candy in the lunchroom to raise money to buy uniforms for the cheerleaders.

I just try to find the other ‘geek’ moms. Their houses might not be spotless and they don’t teach aerobics, but they tend to be smart, witty, and creative. I guess those hair and make-up alleles overwrite some pretty interesting traits.

Don’t I know what you mean! We just moved, so I don’t know about the new school, but at the old school – I was…and I’m quoting…”Phillip’s weird mom.” It didn’t take long for me to decide to fill the role. I dyed my hair bright red and let them choke on that. Too bad you don’t live near me – we could beat up the cheerleaders together – well, not literally maybe……

French mommies do that thing, too, when they drop off and pick up their kids from school. And you don’t talk to them unless you know them, of course. Once you get over being eyed, it can be fun to watch them priss around. That sentence made no sense, but I figure you know what I mean.

Where does the time go?

Enjoy, Kate. I just dropped mine off for his first year of college.

Oh, man. Add silicone and a thong into the mix and I’d be home-schooling my son in a heartbeat!

HaHa! I know what you mean about the ‘Mommy Mob’! CINCHouse (wife for nonmilitary types) has made this observation before. However I assure you it is nothing compared to the civilian San Diego school mommies where we currently reside. In fact, I am just about banned from dropping the girls off at school anymore – apparently the silicon levels are at toxic levels for most husbands, and the “just-rolled-out-of-bed-and-threw-on-sweats” look coupled with “perfect-make-up-and-a-thong” look are bad for our marriage…. Funny, I found everyone friendly and nice to look at… Glad you are on the mend Kate! Sure enjoy reading!
