All About Me

Not sure what this is to be called. I got it from my mom's blog. And since she has put me down as one to respond...I'll fill it out.

Four place I have worked.
1. Jolee's Lil' Dipper when I was 15...small icecream parlor...which is probably why I have always wanted to own my own icecream place.
2. Brunos Pizza before it burned down 1/2 a block in downtown Oxford, OH...50 cents a slice! The kind of pizza that only tastes good at 1am in a college town!
3. American Greetings...greeting cards...what else!
4. Gibson School for the Gifted where I taught art and music to the most sassiest kids I've ever seen!

Four places I have lived.
1. Sheffield Lake, Ohio...aka...Paradise
2. Oxford, Ohio...another lovely place to live as a coed!
3. Bamberg, Germany
4. Orion, MI

Four places I have been on vacation.
1. Florida...with the band, with friends, with my own little family
2. Woodstock, NY
3. Europian Countries...touring around on the weekends.
4. Hawaii

Four of my favorite foods.
1. Orienta Pepper Steak
2. Salads of any kind!!!

4. asleep

Four friends most likely to respond.

Well...I honestly don't know. The first four to respond will have their names immortalized in those 4 spaces!!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...peace and quiet and down time...

Only because my husband has taken the kids to soccer practice and I have a few minutes to wait until I leave for Curriculum night. But as Depeche Mode sings:


"Enjoy the silence."


(Too bad the neighbor's lawn is being mowed...hehe.)

First day of Preschool...

Yesterday at dinner, my youngest told me:

"Mom, tomorrow, I want to you drive me to preschool and then leave. Don't stay. Okay Mom?"


With that...I knew there wouldn't be any problem of my leaving him!

We arrived a few minutes early, as did most of the parents, and congregated in the hallway. The teachers came out a little early since it was getting loud with talking and the elementary classes were in session. E* weaved and squirmed his way into the room, as only a 4 year old can...leaving me trailing him and waiting for the time and space so I could get inside the classroom. He hung up his backpack...by himself. We put on a name tag and traced his name and answered the question of the day. I showed him where he could "play." And that was that....he was so absorbed with the gears. I could barely get his attention to look at me and tell me where the potty was...in case he needed to use it.

After that, I went to 3 stores, alone and had plenty of time to wait in the parking lot for his class to be led out of the building.

Needless to say, this new preschooler was pooped out...couldn't eat his lunch he was so tired. After a show and 1/2 on tv, he went upstairs and put himself to bed! Now if only he could do that at night too!
