Dear Tooth Fairy,

Please stop by our house tonight. Our Big Girl lost her first tooth today! We are very excited. You will find the tooth under her pillow.

p.s. Please don’t feel obligated to leave more than $1 (even though Popo says you should leave $10). We understand that at $1 per tooth and 20 teeth per mouth and 2 mouths at our house, it will add up fast!

I got suckered! A very persuasive PTA chairperson snookered me good! Now, I’m a room mom.

My first assignment: staffing 2 booths for the school carnival. No sweat! I just sent home the standard “sign-up for a time” letter. And surprise of surprises, I got 10 replies!!!! That’s plenty of volunteers–or at least it was, until I realized they ALL signed up for the SAME hour and the SAME booth!!!!!

Needless to say, I have spent several hours on the phone sweetly requesting parents to take a different time slot. It has all gone well, just taken an entire evening. Oh well. In the words of a friend: “Dust Bunnies Rejoice!!! The PTA has taken over!!!”

Okay, so it was nothing illegal–I just forgot the camera on the biggest day of my 2-year-old’s summer! But I’ll never live it down.

The Little Man caught his first fish today. Actually, he caught 2 of them. PoPo found a hot brim bed, and everyone was reeling them in. What fun!

Just as exciting: LSU vs. Virginia Tech Tonight!!!

GEAUX TIGERS!!!

You know, after last year, I really was afraid that the world was ending–after all, why else would the Saints take the NFC West and make it one step from the Super Bowl?

But, not to worry. All is as it should be. We lost. I won’t repost the score, as it is painful! So, let’s look on the bright side:

• We lost to last year’s champs, not some other losing team.
• This isn’t the first year that the Saints have started with a loss–and it won’t be the last.
• We still have 15 games to go. in the regular season.
• My 2nd favorite team won!
