When we told her father, he didn't even yell at her for driving recklessly (which she was) but instead he insisted on walking down the block in his bathrobe (it was late at night) and showing all of us how to change the tire. What a guy. I've never forgotten that. I'm kinda hoping one of my kids punctures a tire so I can drag my husband out of bed and make him live up to my "cool dad" expectations.Julie Q.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13737557893649934725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-1101898588554013972008-07-12T11:32:00.000-04:002008-07-12T11:32:00.000-04:00When the kids were little I used to sort of "kite"...When the kids were little I used to sort of "kite" books between the cards.

I saw his eyes light up in anticipation of the sarcastic ribbing he would be able to dish out the rest of the evening. That is, until she finished her sentence.."about Thomas the train coming to NC." She was referring to a flyer we got in the mail. Poor Lincoln was visibly disappointed. He has gotten MANY traffic tickets and I've never gotten one. Of vourse, he then said, "Mom just runs into things, she doesn't speed." I keep it close to home.

Do you have your accounts set up for email, so they email you a few days before the books are due? They'll also email you if your books are a few days late, not that I would know anything about that. Ahem. Also, when we get back from the library, I go on my Outlook calendar and immediately put reminders on two dates - the day BEFORE the books are due, and the day they are actually due. I think I'm safe in saying you get on the computer once in a while so those reminders should help you when they pop up. If all that doesn't help you, then okay, maybe you are hopeless.
