Dragging my ass through these last weeks of school-in no particular order:  all of sudden:  PROM-dress shopping, makeup, watching hair videos and oh-need shoes, and need a salad for Saturday night.  From the same child:  I need 100 paper plates in an hour.  Child number 2: volunteer hours? how many?  how to get them quickly-let us schlep you around to do this.  Late pickup after school-I heard 4, he says he told me 4:30, and still kept me waiting until 4:45.  Tonight a concert.  Tomorrow night a school event to be attended.  Child #3-the fight where I then had to have a conversation with the kid's mother, the toga for tomorrow morning, "I need rope tomorrow morning", oh by the way-it's 10pm and I totally forgot about my math homework."  Then I get to watch them all perform in Greek plays for AN HOUR AND A HALF.  Surely they could pick the best one that's 10 minutes?  Really?  We have to sit through all of them???  Child #4-just baseball: practice, the last game, the party at Chik fil A.  Oh and MEALS.  And then this weekend-the bat mitzvah-everyone get dressed up, be there on time.  Lunch there.  Come home-change clothes.  Help E get ready for Prom.  Get us all redressed up-me formal-for the party.  Sunday school-last one, praise God, but treats of some sort??  Finish the damn Science Board and project.  G: birthday party.  Then hike??  Bring a veggie tray. And dinner?? Ay Yi Yi.   Next week is the same Crazy Town Express.  THREE BIRTHDAY PARTIES.  THREE THINGS TO BAKE FOR.
