random thoughts

My wild, wonderful daughter graduated preschool on Friday.  Her amazing preschool teacher has been teaching for over 30 years, she is thoughtful and warm but but overly fuzzy. She is sweet but does not sugar coat, she loves our kids and gives them a lot.

I still have a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that kids need to be prepared for kindergarten.  When I was a kid it was all about playing, doing art and singing songs.  Now kids learn how to read and do math in kindergarten.

I cannot believe I am going to have a kid in elementary school.

My daughter is crazy.  Occasionally she goes berserk.   She is sweet and cute and smart, I enjoy her most of the time but on occasion she looses her damn mind.

When other peoples children loose their mind, I am thankful that it is not just mine.

Now to digress, 

I have a steam mop, it is the best thing ever.  No bucket needed, just fill, plug in and steam mop.  I should sell them I like it so much, if you have hard floors you should have one.

Clearly my life is a thrill a minute.

Do you watch Chelsea Lately? She is funny but why doesn't she wear mascara on her show? Every time I am flipping channels and pause on her show and wonder how she missed hair and makeup again.

I like mascara.

I new rug can pull a whole room together, I love my new rug and its unplanned location in my house.

Iced tea, lemonade and vodka are a really good combo.

I need to go to the gym and go running, the holiday is over.

Happy Tuesday,
