Friday Night/Saturday Morning

Failed horribly to write anything of note.
It was Cesar Chavez day here and thus no school.
Have you heard of him?

No?

Really?

How uncomradely of you.
The fact that I hadn’t either until I moved here and then only really because about 50 streets and a public holiday are named after him is of no relevance and I sit in mild, superior judgement of your ignorance.  

I was not really aware of this public holiday having crept up on me or its full implication  (ie preschool is closed) until yesterday at 2pm when we went for the children’s parent-teacher conferences that I will post about at some later point because

a) They were slightly surreal.
and
b) I can’t resist boasting about my children, especially if I can pass it off as something someone else said.

However, you’ll be relieved to know that  I won’t do it now because I am too exhausted from supervising Four and One-who-thinks-he’s-two (judging from the high-level-on-the-Richter-scale tantrums thrown approximately every 23 seconds).

For those who are missing my literary accomplishments (all me of you) there is a new post by me over at Bambino Goodies. It’s a reflective piece about our recent “holiday” in Colorado and it also gives some insight into some of the fine dining establishments we toured while there in case you want any recommendations. Mmmm!  

Coming very soon:
The Scintillating Tale of the Parent-Teacher Conference

Also, next week I faithfully promise to throw in one of the previously advertised

(stories for another day).

Which one and when, you ask?  Tune in every day or Subscribe and see!

Most interesting about him might be the fact that he was vegan. Or rather that this is mentioned on wikipedia. What on earth are his alimentary preferences doing on his bio? And what do we get out of this information? (Speaking of writing about anything of note…)

Went to parents eveing the other evening (actually they are called consultations now, new one on me…been out of teaching too long) and was told by the lovely Mrs B. that d#1 was quite good at numeracy, of course this translates as mathematical genius in her proud mothers eyes; she also won 1st prize in today’s Easter bonnet parade, good job really as she’s highly competitive and would have probably sacked the parents if she’d lost. It’s good to boost about one’s children and I look forward to the post (apologies for spelling errors; writing withthe s#2 on lap…the baby that DOESN’T sleep anymore!)

Hoping it’s the “grown-man-cry” story…
