Mothering Many

I went out Saturday, all by myself. I had a splendid time, just rejuvenating. I got my hair cut and walked around looking at clothes, and then I went to the bookstore. I was amused by some of the clothes I saw. One brand (I think think it was Liz Claiborne???) had a line they called golf, and it truly was golf apparel ladies, as in, it had little golf bags embroidered all over it. Golf bags! I elected not to buy any of those capris, since my little fashionistas already tell me I look like I am about to go play tennis anytime I wear a skort and tennies. Heh. I never thought I’d get to the point that I saw my clothes through my kids eyes, but………if I say to them “I’d prefer you not to wear that, because it would embarrass me”, and they acquiesce, then maybe I can think about whether my clothes embarrass them. Besides, it’s fun shopping for myself and blaming them, LOL!

Hmm, I am aware that I should have a menu plan here today, but alas, I do not. I seem to have slipped a gear where my memes are concerned. I’ll try to do better.

AND! I found out this weekend that my 5 year old does not know the alphabet song! We used to sing it everyday in school, and then all the students learned it, so we stopped. We’ll be starting up again so Batman and Drama can learn it, and then we’ll stop again or awhile. The summer of math is going well. I think we’ll be done with the book by the end of August. I should probably order the new one sometime this week.
