Rambles (I'm not gonna lie). However, I confer with the most brilliant minds of Eastern Iowa on a daily basis - and some of their musings are bound to turn up...
Maddie starts kindergarten Monday. We have an orientation Friday morning and I will meet her teacher - her first "real" teacher. I don't know if I'll cry on Friday morning, but I'm positive I'll lose it Monday morning.
So... do I send Madeleine to school with an apple for her teacher? A card? A gift package for a posh spa? With what do parents bribe teachers these days to ensure a positive impression of their children?
I am a single mother who finds outstanding joy in ordinary circumstances. I love my daughter more than anything else of this world... and she loves the Beatles. I like to play the devil's advocate - it's a characteristic I inherited from my dad. I don't have any cavities (or fillings) and I only visit the dentist once every 5 years. I have the largest extended family of anyone I know and the coolest grandparents any kid could want. I was adopted and know ALL my parents. I own very little because I know it can all be taken away at any time. I take great solace in washing dishes by hand. I am blessed!
