I’ve been banned.

My wife has declared that I am no longer allowed to go to PTA meetings, Open Houses, Parent Orientations, or other similar group functions. The middle school declared this an open house, and last year it was in the true sense of the word with leisurely student guided tours of the building and impromptu discussions with the teachers, but instead put on a scheduled orientation with a 30 minute meeting in the auditorium and then an hour+ presentation in the classroom by all the team’s teachers. So when one teacher addressed how makeup work would be done in conjunction with absenses and cited "obviously if they are out for a week having an appendix removed we are going to work with them" I chimed up and asked "so how many times can they use the appendix excuse?" I miss being a student 🙂 My wife feels I’ve lost my mind.

Special Thanks to Michael

Thanks to Michael’s August Challenge my google ads to the right have turned down right cheery! Currently showing for me are:

"A Positive Attitude Is Everything. Become Positive and Powerful with this Free new system,"
"Feel good about yourself.Surround yourself with positive, Christian people. Learn how."
and
"Why aren’t you happy? The reason’s simplier than you think. Find out the answer at Paul’s tips."

Thank you for being my wife! Thank you for our kids! And thank you for supporting my whims and lunacy and believing in me during the hard times. I have enjoyed all our adventures and I so look forward to the times ahead of us! Happy Anniversary!
