This is how Spencer Rolls these days.


This is my buddy Spencer. We have always been friends. Well, lately we are mostly friends but sometimes he likes to use me as a punching bag. He is cute so he gets away with it! He was rather funny on Sunday night. He went from cuddle buddy to The Hulk. Hilarious!

His brother Henry also made me laugh when he said: "Alice, thanks for coming. I kind of like you!" I love four year olds.

I also love teenagers. The first day of school went very quickly and smoothly. Only 179 to go!

Off to School


Well, today is the day...the first day of the new school year. It doesn't feel any different than yesterday or the day before but I am still just sitting in my bed. The view from here is often the same as any other day.

I don't feel as prepared as I could be, but I think that is the same way I felt last year at this time and the year before that and the year before that... I am excited to meet my new students today. I hope my PowerPoint works when I get to school and that all goes well.

I am actually pretty excited to get back to my Weight Watchers meeting tonight. Funny how that can be a highlight for me as well.

I better get motivated and dressed. What a day it is going to be.

I thought the photo of my brother from another mother with his new backpack would be appropriate for the first day of school. Doesn't he look ready?
