Below is an excerpt from an email I sent to my parents about the after-school plans that Connor (my near 8 year old) had for the day.Today Connor came home from school wanting to build an airplane. He came in jabbering about needing to "collect all of the electronics in the house" to build the plane. Fans, lamps, refrigerator, cell phones, ipods, tvs. All items necessary to build this plane. Not just a TOY plane but a REAL plane. In fact, he was going to have it built by "tonight at...

From Memoirs of a T.S.U.N.A.M.I Girl, 4 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
OK. So I am determined to write more often, even if it's about nothing. Apologies in advance. I have been thinking lately that all I seem to say about my new career makes it sound like a walk in the park (no pun intended!). But it's actually exhausting and sometimes draining work. The average day might consist of a 7.30am start to help get the kids ready for school, making sure that smocks are on, sports bags contain sports gear and not a princess dress, teeth are cleaned, shoes are on (and on...

Toe Jam
From A JapanAmerican Family, 4 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Everyone has a quirk. Some are weirder than others but not many are weirder than Maika's. I have no idea where she picked up this idea from but she does it quite often. She has developed the habit of checking for toe jam. Yep, that nasty junk that develops between your toes. She will not only check her own but will also check yours, and if she finds some she will remove it for you. It really is quite funny to see her so intently doing this.So happy to start the 'toe jam' checking.First,...
