I just knew I loved Carrot! (good name, ophie) I hate those questions though. The answers rip your heart out.Middle school! Wow that seems so far away - but I am sure it will be here before you know it! We have Back to School Night tonight. Yippee.
Katie - try not to panic about the teacher. Maybe her DD and the teacher just didn't hit it off. Your DS may think she is the cats meow! I will keep my fingers crossed.
Bets - how is the water damage? Rain over yet? Looks like the Wonder is going out of Ft. Lauderdale today. That would be weird. What if you thought ahead, booked that limo, and were staying at the Radisson - then what do you do??
DD had homework last night - it was a get to know you better kind of thing like the friends email - and one question was "What has been the saddest day of your life" - DD answered - the day you have to get off the Disney Cruise!
Our back to school night is next week, but we've been at that school for 10 years so I kinda know the drill. It's still nice to go and listen. That way if child comes home with, "but my teacher said we'd ony have homework on Wednesday's" or other such cinderella stories you know the real story.
Not sure I'd like Babs goin' to middle school next year tho. Those 8th graders are BIG. HOOGE, I TELL YOU!
3 of the 4 Croutons left for BuildYourOwnAirplane University yesterday. They made it to Needles (it IS as beautiful as it sounds - if'n you like desert, catci, lizards, snakes.) Today they will get to BYOA U and get that Bob-boy all checked in. Continue to send good thoughts their way.
I could have used that when I was stuck at MCO. 
Hope all is going well for you guys. 
We still have 2 weeks so Im not quite in panic mode, but that will be kicking in soon Im sure. I did find out his teachers and I have had a couple people tell me his main teacher is very hard. One (my hairdresser) was devastated that I said he had this one. I guess she was a nightmare for her DD. Her comments scared me big time.
We live in SUCH a growth oriented area. There is a "Master Plan" that calls for something like 30,000 new homes in 10 years or something absurd like that right around us. They are building a new elementary school down the road that has everyone in an uproar 'cuz our development will probably get thrown into it - and it feeds into a not-so-good middle school (rough they say). Like there's probably some ankle bracelet material walking around down there. WE should be grandfathered into our MS and won't have that problem but some of our neighbors will. We also feed into a new HS that's only been open 2 years - another really nice school that we want to STAY at!! The crazy thing with these boundries is that we can literally SEE both the MS and the HS from our upstairs windows...but we're rural and there's no sidewalks on the main road to get there so we're get bused. But re-districting COULD mean we would go to the schools that we can't see. 
But I went shopping today for some "office supplies"!
...a couple solar calculators that have a TAX button (thought that might be handy dandy now that our tax is 6% not 5%), ummm...some clear address labels so I can label my catalogs....oh, and a label maker so I can label my "taster cups" AND most importantly (drum roll please...) a money bag!!

rolleyes1 ) some more of those Drink o' the Day glasses. Babs won't share hers. One of her school friends is going in October but I'd feel funny asking the family to "pick up" 5 or so glasses for me.
