a visit with molly


sara and i went to visit our friend molly since she just recently had surgery. we were able to spend time with her and her mom, who was in town to help her get around. she is healing well and was in very good spirits. we had a great time with the two of them. molly is a kindergarten / first grade teacher and does something in her classroom called the tattletale notebook. in order to discourage tattling, she has her students write their "tattles" in a composition notebook. she has one for every year she has taught. so sara and i read the tattles aloud to molly and her mom. they were HILARIOUS!! a theme ran through most of the tattles..."ana was being men." "men" being MEAN. there were pages saying that. my favorite was "Nicholas wants to kiss the girls." nice. too much fun.


i realized the other day that i mixed up the days for Todd and Chrissy's birthday. i called Chrissy a few days before her birthday, but celebrated Todd's birthday too early. i have known Chrissy since my senior year in college. i basically forced having a connection to her. she was really quiet (at the time). i've been very blessed to have her in my life. her sarcasm matches mine. and i think i knew from when i first met her that we would be friends for a long time. i love when i can get her to laugh out loud. and i'm glad that she's willing to be goofy with me. happy birthday, Chrissy!

Hi Ann! I finally got a google account so I could post comments to your blog instead of just reading and staying in the shadows. Anyway, I loved the reading of Molly's tattletale book and the excerpts. And it reminded me . . . I was recently sorting through Nicholas' first grade work and came across a little spiral notebook (which I think they gave to him to write his "feelings" in or something like that -- I guess if I was a good mother, I'd ask.) Anyway, on the first page he wrote: "Abby is not my friend." Then, you turn the page and he wrote: "Camryn is not my friend." On the third page, the student teacher was the target: "Ms. Lozano is not my friend." No spelling errors (of course not, the little spelling genius), but I sure wish I knew what those three had done to end up as "not his friend." LOL! Oh, and another random note - we had our detailed ultrasound -- everything looks great and IT'S A GIRL!!!
