Hey, Alanis Morissette! I have a new irony for you!

Our kids attend a charter school. They have their own calendar, apart from our school district.

Today is the first day of my kids’ spring break. The rest of the schools in our district don’t have break until next week.

Today is the first snow day we’ve had this year. Schools are closed.

I have been waiting ALL WINTER for just one snow day, and it happens on a day my kids have off, anyway.

Anytime, almost anywhere

I can’t say I’ve nursed in Air Force One. Yet.

But I’ve nursed my babies in interesting and mundane places: A pier in San Francisco, on a beach in Florida, in the seasonal aisle of our grocery store, at church, during a parent/teacher conference at school, at 10,000 feet above sea level and timberline, on a bench at the zoo whilst watching mountain goats bounce off rocks.

Just last night, during a Mile High Mamas gathering, I nursed Archie while a blues band jammed about 10 feet away. I covered his left ear. His right was scrunched against my arm. Maybe he’ll forever associate warm, sweet milk with wailing, sassy harmonica.

My latest post over at Mile High Mamas is up today. I wrote not only about nursing in public but how I feel when baby is hungry and we are very much in public. I expect people to be jerks about it, but they never are. It’s a relief, but it also makes me sad that I assume the worst and feel like I must brace myself for a confrontation. Just in case.

Go say hello and share your experiences.

Pajama Day

Why is Pajama Day at school the hardest, most drama-filled morning?

They are putting more thought into what to wear to school than I’ve ever witnessed on Picture Day. They wore pajamas to bed, but only the most special and fashionable pajamas can be seen in the halls of their school.

Ryley actually traded several small items for the right to wear a pair of Sam’s pajama pants and Toby Mac t-shirt.

Suddenly, the monkey slippers (which havn’t been missed for months) MUST be found or this last day of school before spring break will be the WORST DAY EVER.

I think it will be Pajama Day for me, too.
