Miss Deanna and I are still getting to "know" each other and she seems to be less accepting of my lackadaisical parenting, at least less accepting (helpful) then Miss Jessie was. We are working on it. Give us time. We have ALL year. Lucky her (me).
Last week when I picked Lucy up from school, Miss Deanna reminded me that it was the responsibility of the parents to bring in snow clothes. A concept I am still struggling with. It is 3 degrees in Wisconsin right now. Shouldn't the kids play inside the gym, what ever happened to Heads Up Seven Up??? Anyways. So, today, I remembered snow pants, a snow coat, boots, and a hat. Miss Deanna smiled and thanked me. This is where I get back to our meeting in the hall way.
"Mrs. S! Do you have a minute?" She hollered down the preschool hallway.
Turning, sigh, "Suuuuuurrree..."
"Thank you for bringing in Lucy's snow clothes, now she wont have to keep borrowing the extra set Layla's mom brought in, but I noticed you forgot to bring in gloves..."
Annoyed and secretly hating Layla's mom, picturing her stepford wife-ish, patronizing ways. "Seriously. Thank God for the extra set of snow clothes!" I say to myself. Seriously!
Smiling, I cut Miss Deanna off with a wave of my hand,"Its okay, if her hands get cold, she can put her little paws inside her coat pockets. She looses gloves anyways. Thanks Miss Deanna, see you at 2:30!"
I jogged to the car, where I had the heat blaring and Hudson waiting, he and I both NOT wearing gloves either, by the way.
Maybe, instead of judging me, they could just be happy that I didn't drop Lucy off wearing this-

| Personally, I see nothing wrong with this picture, do you? Yes, that is her swim suit, at least she has the snow boots on. I cant wait to pick her up from school today... Mis Deanna is probably going to remind me to take Lucy's sleeping bag home to be washed, again. Seriously!?! |
Tee hee hee. Love it. Miss Deanna sounds like loads of fun. And I think you and Lucy need some mommy-daughter bounding toilet papering Layla and her mom. (Is she too young for that?!)
ReplyDeleteBalls! Being a parent is hard. Although, I'm taking my 28 students (from my very-high-in-poverty-school) skiing on Tuesday... so I might be the one fretting about no gloves. (And don't judge me, but I rallied together a spare snow clothes tub.)
Note: Being a teacher, indoor recess is the BANE of my existence. I already have zero time to pee all day! Thank God my students have iPods to keep them busy!

P to the S: I've been thinking... Our lime green shirts... we should trade those in for lime green bikinis and take a tropical vacay... I need another.
