Putting gym clothes on actually counts as excercise. True story.

And MERCY when did summer become such a tangle of children' activities? Mom used to shove us out the door at dawn with, "I don't want to see your face until dinner." Now she accuses me of being a neglectful mother when my kiddos have a day without golf camp.

For real you had swine flu in your house? I swear, it's like you're a celebrity! Only the sick, quarantined kind of celebrity.

I hope your family is feeling better!

Wow, I'm getting exhausted just reading how your summer is going. I think when Peanut gets old enough for swim meets, swine flu, and emotional and behavioral testing I'll just be doing as I'm Julie's Mom used to and sending her out the door with orders not show her face until dinner

Wait . . . what? I nearly missed this post because I read the Turducken one and *assumed* (with reasonable cause) that was the only one and there wouldn't be another for about a month. Said the woman who last posted on June 26th : )
