Winter Wonderland
We had our first snow today in our little corner of the world. There’s nothing like snow to make you feel like a bad mom or dad. That’s because my thought is always, “Please don’t snow enough to make it a snow day.” And I bet this morning bad moms and dad all over metro [Read More]

An Experienced Bad Mom Word Problem
This picture has nothing to do with this post! But I like it. This is the kind of thing that reinforces just how awesome Moms are! It also reinforces why you should pay attention in math class.

Treasures?
Here’s a picture I took of our recycling recently. It was after I cleaned out Will’s “treasures” that he brought home at the end of 2nd grade. What was I supposed to do with that stuff? I saved some funny writings, but mostly it was just random stuff I had no use for. Do Good [Read More]

Every night Will now brings home a planner in which he has written his homework assignments and [Read More]

Are you kidding me?
The picture above was taken last week. It shows 6 days worth of 2nd grade paperwork sent home with my son. I know that teachers’ jobs are hard, but do they have to make my job as a parent so much harder, too? Really. These papers are all instructions to the parents about the book [Read More]

Experienced Bad…School?
It’s back to school time and Will is now in 2nd grade. Last night as he was getting dressed for bed, I started chatting with him about his day. “What was your favorite thing you learned about in school today?” He stopped putting on his jammies and smiled. Then he stuck his butt out. He [Read More]
