Things the princess said to me

"If I don't get some dental floss right now my back is going to bleed." That I'd like to see,not really.

"There are ice cream stains on my brownie, I'd like another in a separate dish" Talk about foods not touching. If she had't been at school I'd swear she was watching "The View."

"I only asked once, nicely and didn't nag, can I have"it" now?" This question I get regularly

Eeny,meeny,miney,mo tell me where I'm supposed to go

Really wanted to go and meet Craig Ferguson at his reading/signing of American on Purpose. If I'd missed open house night at school, the princess would never had let me hear the end of it. I'll have to wait for the book to come into the library next month. Going to catch him now on Letterman. Late night TV causes me to be sleep deprived.

Alligators in the sky

"Mom do you see the alligators in the sky?" "No, I'm trying to keep my eyes on the road." The princess was watching clouds while I was was driving.

Fashion week,Lady Gaga and more

OK, I know what you're thinking,fashion week. What's going on here. Well it's fashion week at my house everyday. She has been unveiling her latest collection,including accessories,one outfit at a time. Her taste is eclectic provided it's pink.
Lady Gaga is now the front runner for the Halloween costume. Where am I ever going to find that nest mask from the VMA's?
Captain Chaos and I are celebrating our wedding anniversary this week. The princess thinks we're having a wedding ceremony and asked some of her friends to be flower girls. Sorry to disappoint her but we don't have anything like that planned.

What does beige smell like?

The princess told me yesterday I smelled good and she smelled beige. She wanted to use whatever I was using. The combination of soap,shampoo and deodorant must have been appealing to her. At last she was giving me a compliment,what a good girl.

The week went well enough. The princess' dance teacher asked her how her first week of 1st grade went. Her reply "Good, I didn't get in trouble yet." That's my girl. She has learned that the goal for the day is to stay off the evening news.

Pretty typical week...school,dance school,skating school and a few playdates sprinkled in. I don't think I missed anything.

Never Forget

Please take a moment to remember those lost on 9/11.

First day recap

Moo went along for the day

The princess laughed as she told me they did nothing all day,she knows that annoys me.

Lunch:Race Car shaped chicken fingers,dinner roll,golden corn niblets,fresh fruit/fruit cup,choice of milk. Not the school lunch you remember.

Here we go again

I'll be waking the princess shortly. Wished the weather was better. Nothing beats a rainy day to start off the school year.

The night before school starts

T'was the night before school starts and at my house
my princess was wound up and being a louse.

she was squirmy and anxious and really uptight
nothing a warm bath won't fix,right?

as story time approached I called to her higness
told it was time to get out and put on her nighty

She had other thoughts when I entered the bath
I was greeted with a gigantic splash.

I was not amused but contained my wrath
next time she'll shower as this was her last bath.

"Get out of the tub" I hollered, she scampered off to her room
waiting to see what might await her upon my return.

Much to her surprise I continued our routine
We read several books then she went off to dream.

today is over, tomorrow she starts first grade
o'night to all, make it a great day.

119 Days until New Years Eve

Oh, what I meant was 6 days until school starts; silly me. There will be celebrating just the same though. Missed out on meeting with the mommy mafia,sitter canceled at the last minute.

7 days and counting

Got the letter today with the princess' classroom assignment for the upcoming school year. FYI she's with the teacher I don't know from dance school. There are only three first grade teachers and two of them have children in the same dance school the princess attends. I mentioned this in a post a while back. If I was a gambler I would have cleaned up on that. She's chosen her outfit and I have everything else ready.

She's pooped, we went to the park twice today. The weather was much too nice to stay home. Ran in to a mommy from the amusement park adventure. We chatted while the kids played. The princess was trying to recruit a parent to be the assistant to the fire breathing dragon in their game; No takers. I missed the head hunting as I was in the restroom. I usually get asked to be the evil witch or wicked step monster in these games. Stop back tomorrow...

Happy September 1

Here we are, counting down to the beginning of the next school year. The princess goes with MIL on Tuesday's. Today she informed her grandmother that this would be the last Tuesday they would be getting together,(even though she doesn't start school until Wednesday.) She says she will be too busy preparing for school LOL. She's going to even more surprised next Tuesday when she goes with her grandmother. LOL
