I’ve been thinking about the incident with H’s schoolmate (previous post on Oct. 29th)…I’ll call her Sara. She is the one who was with a friend (we’ll call her Lynn) and they decided to sneak out of the house and bike across town in the middle of the night, across busy streets and through several …
Well, I am officially freaked out. Had an interesting conversation with some other parents today and found out some things that have been going on with some of Hannah’s classmates. I knew about some of them, but did not know all the details. A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine who has a …
Basketball tryouts are today. This morning, J asked H how practices have been going, and she said, “Fine, but you know, I probably won’t be starting for the A team this year.” Knowing her as I know her, I think she said that because she’s preparing herself, “just in case”. It’s a protection thing. If …

Thank GOD for the rain today! I almost forgot what it’s like to have rain all day long…makes me want to hop in bed and curl up with a good book. I don’t even know where my umbrellas are…it’s been so long since I’ve needed one. Back to school and H has a ton of …
After we got home tonight, H had to re-connect with all her “girlies”…friends who went on their own fall break trips with their families. It was a very rare Sunday night…since they had no homework for a change, they were able to IM freely. We didn’t see her all night, I kept hearing her chatting …
I picked H up from basketball practice today and was halfway home when we remembered we were supposed to pick up her friend and take her home! Yikes. Turned around and it took 30 minutes to go 5 miles because of the traffic around Vanderbilt. Luckily, friend was very understanding and wasn’t upset. She didn’t …
A girl at H’s school had a surprise birthday party this past Friday night (well, her parents threw it for her). She and H are not very close, although they have a lot of the same friends. The circles of friends just seem to overlap quite a bit. When H found out she wasn’t invited …
Stepped outside to walk the dog and I felt a blast of cool air like I haven’t felt in forever!!! I think maybe the weather will start to feel more like fall…at least, I hope so. I need to get some of those arm and leg warmers for biking, though. It’s cool in the morning, …
Typical day around here. H was up at 6:30, to school until 3:15, then home. After playing with the dog for about 10 minutes, she started working on homework. Fed the dog, ate dinner, watched a repeat of “Friends” (which takes about 22 minutes, since we fast forward the tivo through the commercials), then back …
