Free puppy and Espresso

So we had a big day yesterday - CJ came home from school on cloud nine. The headmistress of the school called him to the front of the assembly and wanted him to talk about how he wanted to help Haiti- so CJ shared his plans of building a HUGE crane to drop off food and supplies in Haiti- (he of course has a prototype lego version at home)- For the last weeks CJ has been harassing his teacher meet with the headmistress (he would come home everyday dejected and say "She is still in meetings"- not a big deal but it was starting to annoy me that she couldn't pop in his class and listen to him for a nanosecond. (I know totally being a helicopter mom) Well patience and persistence has paid off- he was a bit disappointed that the school can't build a HUGE crane but they are going to do a mufti day for charity.

Other news- John Edwards- Hate him- think he is slime and AM so glad Elizabeth wised up and left him and his lies in the dust. Saw the movie "Brothers" with chris this past weekend- good flick if u want to be depressed about the war we are fighting in Afghanistan. Other news my friend that did that Bollywood dance-a-thon with me has purchased sari and headdresses for us to sport when we perform our live routine (I am assuming she is referring to a night in the future when I have consumed mass quantities of vino and all of sudden thinks tequila sounds good at midnight)

I leave you with a sign I purchased at Christmas that prevents people from dropping their kids off for lengthy neverending playdates (like ALL playdates in England)- did I mention that some of the nursery kids are having sleepovers (they are 4!!!!)- seriously it all makes sense why people here love boarding schools. To think that I may be camped out on the quad when I take CJ to college and folks want to let their 4 year olds sleep over. CRAZY
