Please Pay Attention

Melanie wrote: You're asking the wrong Mother. Remember how I suggested something for a few people a few years ago, and it all went terribly wrong. Yeah...I don't even surprise my children with stuff any more...too much wasted money and effort if I do. 

I will ask them later when they get home. Mel

I should just return it and send the $25 and you could buy one back there (as a family). What do you think?

I think you should get Mother of the Year! That is what I think, if anyone asks. If they don't ask, tell them anyway.

You should call and ask Mary about school. She has been in time-out twice in the last two weeks. One boy teased her and she took his cap during recess and threw it over the fence. Then, yesterday, he tried to squeeze in between her and her girlfriend and she belted him. (Same boy!) Poor Julie! There is she as sick as a dog and she is having to go to school all the time.

I am sure glad that I am done with all of that. It is MUCH easier to watch my kids deal with the things I used to deal with. I understand and I have NO ADVICE. NONE! I think I am still the person who burns the last batch. I tell everyone that, had I known how much fun getting old was going to be, I would have skipped being young.
