An April Fool’s Day Story
Around the first of February my son spent quite a few days home from school with some sort of virus that the rest of us did not contract. It’s the first time in all my years of parenting that the school nurse called to have me pick my child up from school. Not once, but twice…in one week! When I break a streak, I really break it. And, yes. I felt the judgment of school nurses all over the land.

Friday Funnies #2
Here are a few items that put the happy in my dance this week. Enjoy! via GIPHY My son started taking fencing lessons. If you have a little boy or girl who is obsessed with all things swords and lightsabers, then this is the sport for them. Here’s a conversation my son and I had when we arrived at fencing practice last week. Son: Mom! Did you see those lunches last week? Me: Lunches? They had lunch here? How did I miss that? Son: No, mom. The lunches I made with my sword. Me: Oh! You mean lunges? Son: Yeah. That’s what I said. At that point I started laughing…
