ANOTHER REPORT CARD

Saturday, February 18, 2006


Becca got a report card from preschool! This is a first in our house. It's sort of a crack-up. Plenty of improvement left, though I would say pretty good for a kid who had so much catching up to do. She did score Outstanding in "shares and takes turns with children," making me think perhaps we got the report card for some other more benevolent Rebecca.

The teacher comments say: "Rebecca is very friendly and plays nicely with the other children. She's continuing to work on sitting at circle and paying attention to the teacher's directions. She has made a lot of progress since the beginning of the school year." (Right. At the beginning of the year, "a good day" meant one in which Becca did not hit, pinch, push, punch, kick, or otherwise malign her classmates...)

OUR STUFF GOES ON A MADCAP ADVENTURE

Thursday, February 16, 2006

Our belongings left Lisle this morning. Who knows what crazy times they will have along the way, stopping at scenic overlooks and weigh stations, meeting new and interesting people, riding the roads with other people's stuff. If only I could be a fly on the wall...

TODAY'S WEATHER

Wednesday, February 15, 2006

I think I might have felt a raindrop on my morning walk.

EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE

Sold the Marco condo (hoo-ray). Packed up the house. Don had his official last day at work. Sold a bunch of our household goods. Moved from Carol's to the new apartment. Bought a bunch of stuff to make the apartment liveable. Went to IKEA 3 times in 3 days. Walked up 3 flights of stairs 1100 times (there is no elevator at the new apartment). Registered Sarah at school. Might have eaten a couple times in there.
