----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tennis, anyone? Phew! That Labour-day-weekend, get-ready-for-school thing can really take it out of you. You know what I love? (said most sarcastically)I love when the school sends home it's annual list of what must be purchased for your children. The list I get includes crayons, paper, duotangs, craft supplies, pencils, pens, markers, glue (stick and bottle), ruler, and most importantly 4 tennis balls. Tennis balls? you say. They go to no such school. The tennis balls are for... ...wait for it. Noise reduction and scuff mark reduction. Can you frickin' believe it? My multi-million dollar Catholic School Board requires me to buy 4 tennis balls so that they may place them on my child's chair at school so that the noise from the moving of said chair is reduced and so that the scuff marks on the floor from the moving of said chair become non-existent. And on top of that - tennis balls come in packs of three not four. This is because they are tennis balls not floor protectors or chair accessories. So, in order to buy 4 you have to buy two packs of three. I suppose I could spring for tennis lessons and that would take care of the leftover 2. Anyhow, the kids are settled in to school. The oldest has a man teacher, her first ever and her two best friends are in a different class. The middle has a woman teacher but one that I have no prior knowledge of. I hope she's nice ...and patient. That's good, I hope. I'm off this weekend to my motorcycle rally with friends who have bikes. The hubby and I do not but we thoroughly enjoy watching the show that is involved with this rally and it is for a good cause. We will also be celebrating my 40th birthday so I'm sure I'll have some fun stories to tell when I get back. Have a good weekend, P.S. Did you notice I have a comment thingy now?...hurtling into the technology frontier, I tell you, HURTLING!!!! 9:47 p.m. - 2006-09-06 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- what you missed - what you're waiting for | |
