@CBS – mine too. But my kid has the internet – which we did not have for research on such things back in the day!

I remember doing that when I was at school. Mine broke. I think the winner used jello…

We went paci-free for my newly 3-year old 3 weeks ago and promptly got two back-to-back colds, resulting in lots
Of nighttime coughing and waking. Mine has a tendency to sleep much worse when dad puts her to sleep – guess she misses him more than me when she wakes up – because she wakes up screaming bloody murder for him and did that for a week – the only way out is me going up there and ignoring the requests for dad. So I couldn’t resist the “mommy I need you to sleep with me” last night either. Hope you’re getting some weekend rest!!

Hah. At least I can *sort of* see it for your own school’s team – I mean, those are your colleagues, right? But wasting instructional time for an NFL team? Ick.

Oh man, it was crazy town when I was scrambling to find Seahawks T-shirts for my girls when they went to the SuperBowl in 2014 (ish). There were none to be had around town. I think I finally found a few kids shirts at a local grocery store 😀

@ARC – but you know, sports are *important.* Moreso than other stuff, right? The genesis of The Cortlandt Boys was my first high school’s over-the-top frenzy over our basketball team winning the state championship. There were life-sized portraits of the players put up in the gym.

@Meghan – congrats on being in the final editing stage! I guess no projects are ever truly finished, but at some point we have to abandon them!

@Ana – yes, one of my older boys asked for an Eagles shirt for Christmas and got one. The other did not, and has now been a bit miffed that he doesn’t have one.

Our school isn’t doing a pep rally, which I’m glad about. But we had a squabble this morning because older boy suddenly decided (after refusing several times a couple weeks ago) that he wanted an Eagle’s shirt to wear to school, since we got one for the little guy who had asked for one. Sorry buddy, too late.
I hope you get your nap. It’ll be a good weekend for one, brrrr.

And my almost-5yo has suddenly started wanting to sleep with us, too. “Because I love your snuggles!” Sigh.
Exciting about the writing streak! There’s nothing like that flow of brand new words, even if you know they’ll all get deleted a few months later. I’m at the other end — final revisions (final final; for real this time!), and then who knows?
