After hemming and hawing about what type of snack to bring that hasn't already been broughten, Pickles and I came across a recipe for Orange-Blueberry Bread. Turns out preschool children ages 3-4 can polish off almost two loaves of homemade bread in under 5 minutes. I ROCK the homemade bread snacks...
But enough of the snack. What amazed me today was that the daughter of the EPC mom (a GINORMOUS thank you to Crissy for coining the phrase) was begging my daughter to play with her. Not just a "Will you play with me in the kitchen area?" but an all-out "PLEEEEEAASE play with me in the kitchen area! Oh, and you have pretty hair!" All I can say is wow. I highly doubt that EPC would appreciate her "perfect" daughter playing with my "average" child. (Picture taken AFTER a hard day of preschool.)
This woman literally flies into the parking lot, parks in front of the preschool doors, leaves her large white Suburban with the vanity plates running with her younger daughter inside, rushes her daughter in by shoving past the other parents who are patiently waiting in line, then rushes through the coat-hanging/hand-washing process. I have honestly seen this woman shove her daughter through the above-mentioned process AFTER I've arrived, only to watch her squeal out of the parking lot BEFORE I've even made it back to my car. All of this so she can make it to her tennis lesson in time.
I’m sorry, but if you can’t make the time to bring your child into school then don’t bother.
On a happier note, Bubba got to visit the WIXX Studio with Scouts this evening. Grandpa Maurie was kind enough to bring him, as I had no sitter for Pickles. He had a blast!
P.S. Sorry my second post had to be so boring. I'm very tired and full of homemade potato soup.

Ooh...Disney Princesses on Ice? Be sure to wear your Wanda Chrome shirt and scare all the yuppy moms. And send pictures as proof you actually went, because I don't buy it.
Pickles will be wearing her Cinderella costume so it's only fitting that I wear the Wanda shirt. Mother will be accompanying us so we'll find her a something appropriate too.
Why are you calling me Mother? I don't bear any resemblance to that dried up old lady in Psycho. I also found your evil word for the day. I'll tolerate "broughten" because the picture of Ash is cute and offsets the bad word, and for no other reason.
I call you mother out of affection. Would you rather I called you Grandmama like the Addamseses? Oh, and here's the "been broughten."

Okay, then Mother is fine. I also do like Grandmama, since we are kind of like the Addams Family anyway.
That's right, she done brought it mother.
