And Ching's 40th birthday is lurking...I joke, but there is no way I am twerking for that mo'fo.

As I kneel....

To whom it may concern in the heavens,
The autumnal Gods..who am I kidding...Goddesses.
Dear Autumnal Goddesses,

I don't know what I have to do to get this right, but please let me have my act together for the school year. This time of year always feels like a make it or break it time.  If I don't start out on the right foot, I feel like I am behind well until March.  (By then, I just give up.)  I believe I am on the right path...

I have made the necessary lists of tasks that I need to get started right now (with an exclamation point):  I have the next three months mapped on for any events, holidays that regular people don't take off and early dismissal.  Picture Day is marked down along with that sucky non-holiday known as Halloween.

So that leads to tasks that must get finished by the end of the month:  Halloween costumes need to be chosen and ordered--because I don't make them.  An inventory of jackets, hats, mittens and boots needs to be done to see what the girls need.  (I guess I will wear the same coat that I have been wearing since 2004.)  Nothing sucks more than that first cold snap and not being able to find a matching pair of mittens.  Laurel's school clothes shopping needs to be finished--I did warm weather stuff first.  Warmer clothes will be done mid-month.  And Ching's 40th birthday is lurking...I joke, but there is no way I am twerking for that mo'fo.  (He has been pissing me off lately.)  But I need to plan something.

I have also mapped all the weekend activities--3 different activities for each girl with separate times.  I am not sure when I am going to have to time to do basics like peeing.

And then it's football season.  I don't think it would be too much to ask if we could have one winning season with either the BC Eagles, Miami Hurricanes or the Minnesota Vikings...but this is a stretch because they really suck.  So Ching will be pissy and I will quell his sorrow with meatloaf or heavy pasta dishes.

I have all ready tried to get on your good side.  All the girls new school year forms have been filled out with exactly the same information that I have the school that last year and the year before that.  Regardless of that...they are filled out and all ready packed in their bags for tomorrow.

I am trying.  Come on....throw a sister a bone.

Regards,
Jude Carlson-Wang
