The possible demise of the Zoemobile

Lots going on, as usual. I’m beginning to think that I must’ve been a huge slothy bum for the last 30+ years, given how busy I am now. Oddly enough, I’m loving it, really. Too busy to feel bad or get sick or feel sorry for myself about anything, I guess. And if you never feel bad or get sick or feel sorry for yourself, then life is pretty damn good.

TechnoTeachers

As I posted yesterday, we visited Zoe’s new preschool for her enrollment visit. Two of her three teachers, Ms. Maria and Ms. Lisa, explained that their classroom, the Elephants, has a digital camera and that they like to post photographs on the preschool’s web site almost daily for parents to be able to see that their children are actually having fun (as opposed to the last image most of us will have of our children wailing as we leave them at school). They gave us a little packet titled “Welcome to the Elephant Room!” that is essentially a parent’s handbook for that specific classroom. Which is way cool, given that we had already received the hefty parent’s handbook for the entire school.

Doctor, doctor, give me the news…

A bunch of people I know and love are undergoing surgery this week, which is crazy, because none of them really interact with each other and it’s so strange to have three people I know all have surgery in two days. Two of them were today, which, needless to say, has had me on pins and needles for most of the day.
