- 8 days until the first day of school. Yes, this does translate to about 9 days until my blog and I get to know one another again.
- Is there anyone more wonderful than the front office staff at an elementary school? I love those ladies. (Sorry to exclude you, men, but our two schools have been guy-free in the front office.) They are always happy smiles and comforting hugs. Just genuinely great people.
- They are also the people you want to get to know. Even if you’re working two jobs and just don’t have time to be a school volunteer, get to know the front office ladies. Having a relationship with someone who has their finger on the pulse of the whole school can only be a good thing for your kids’ educational experience. Plus, they are usually, like I said, just neat, neat people with a true love for the kids. There’s my unsolicited advice for the day.
- The boys are on a Harry Potter kick, thanks to the Lego game that came out this summer. They are currently running around the backyard, casting spells. Conversation snippet that has me losing it:
Kalen: Halt, Bloody Baron!
Nicolas: I’m not Baron!
(Say it out loud.)
- Jason and I have kidcare (yay for kidcare swaps!) for a movie date this weekend. What shall we see? Inception? Scott Pilgrim? The Switch? It’s a huge choice. This kind of opportunity comes but once or twice a year, after all. I’m leaning toward Inception. I hear we should make another date for a second viewing, so we can glean some understanding of it.
- Time to stop procrastinating and make some phone calls. While I’m doing that, you go ahead and click that purple button up top for more randomness, mm-kay?

My vote is for Inception. I haven’t seen the other two, but we really liked Inception.
