An Update

Written by Mir :: :: ::

Again, it's been awhile since I've written in the blog. I'll have to think of some original subject matter to entertain the few who still read the blog...I can't think of anything to write about except the quirky things I've started to do since I started staying at home, and maybe some observations about stay-at-home-moms who volunteer in their child's classroom.

So, here it is...the one quirky thing I do...Daughter's school is only about a block away from the house, yet I, like Steve Martin in L.A. Story, drive that block to drop off/pick daughter up. It's very handy because I can throw on my big furry pink robe from Victoria's Secret that was sexy in 1991, but because of numerous washings, is now just a gigantic furry pink robe that hides everything well. All I am missing are the curlers in my hair (alas my hair is too short). Don't have to get dressed, can just drop her off and come back and watch my beloved West Wing Season 4 DVDs.

Have started to volunteer in Daughter's classroom one hour a week, much to her delight. Mostly I make copies and staple things together. It's pretty cool, being able to keep a finger on the pulse of school life. What surprises me though is since I had to dress business casual at work...volunteering means...being able to wear jeans and a t-shirt...and no makeup!!! And just being totally casual!!! Surprisingly, many sahm's (stay at home mom's) come in totally done up...full makeup, hair and nails...just to volunteer in the classroom...

"It's nice to get away from the house a bit each week," I heard one of them remark.

More as I can think of things to write later...
