Yeah, Yeah, I Need to Blog
Summer is almost over and I’m trying to use it all up. My baby is turning 5 on Sunday and I’m trying to buy her stuff and wrap it all pretty and ignore the fact that my BABY is turning 5! She was supposed to remain a baby. Fail!
I’m trying to get Kids Know Stuff going which involves lots of emails to PR people in which I’m supposed to sound authoritative, like what kids think matters and stuff. And I’m supposed to do all that without using the phrase, “like, kids are important and stuff, you know?” And I’m supposed to do that without getting diarrhea, which is hard because ***TMI ALERT*** I have anxious bowels. I really don’t have time to have anxious bowels right now. Fail!
Fall will be here soon and then I’ll have to switch from feeling good about doing math with the girls all summer, to feeling bad that all we (officially) do is math all during the school year. Unschooling everything else is hard for people who like to check things off of a list. Fail!
*sigh* How we’re using up summer today: water gun fights at a friend’s house. Yay! Goodbye.

Do they type their own blog/website posts? Writing, spelling, um, um, modern technology, I’m sure you could think of a few more to add.

Don’t feel too bad. All the babies of my acquaintance graduated from high school and college this year. Which is weird, because just a little while ago they were all toddlers. Just a couple of years ago, I’m pretty sure I remember that.
I also have nervous bowel. Very pleasant for air travel.

I too have a “nervous bowel” except mine is a tease…will rumble and topple me to my knees with colic-like pains but nothing materiazes….in case you were feeling bad about sharing TMI…figured I’d share too!LOL
The site sounds great…will check later (along w/ my daughter)…I’m finally able to catch up on my reading…house repairs and two weddings later and I’m just about done with this summer… then again…we don’t have cold winters here so I can always wait to have my summer in October (don’t hate! Is not my fault my state is beautiful….ahem…and poisonous…you can look at us…just don’t breath us!)

Kids Know Stuff is a great idea! I can’t wait to see where that goes. I am so behind on your blog lady. Must catch up.
