THE Mommy
...you're getting your gel nails filled at the local mall the day before you leave for vacation. You have your 5 year old Princess with you. The only way you can keep her occupied for the full 45 minutes is to pay $5 to get her nails painted as well.
On the way there, you drive through Dunkin to get a cocoa for each of you...it's snowing and FREEZING outside and you're dragging her to the mall...it's only fair that she gets a bribe treat.
During her nail painting session, she takes a drink and looks up at you, cute as can be with a cocoa mustache...Mommy, I like Starbucks much better than Dunkin Donuts

Princess, the future Diva, is in bed with her Mimi...and she says Mimi, this bed is way too hard.
Note: she was referring to the 250 thread count sheets on the bed. She's used to Egyptian Cotton.
Can't say I don't agree with her observations...but, seriously, she's 5 years old people!!!

I'm seriously considering homeschool for 3 months of the year. How much would that mess up my kids with school? I don't want to homeschool at home. I'm not that patient. I just don't want to experience winter anymore.
Right now, I'm sitting at our favorite tapas restaurant sipping a latte outside. Hot with a steady, nice breeze. Heaven.
They're going to have to throw me back onto our plane kicking and screaming.

You're blogging from Aruba? Is there any activity more perfect than that? Funny, you're raising a Starbucks snob. Me too...
Wow. I'd say go for it, homeschooling in Aruba. Get here assignments for the coming months and cover them. Hey, I'd let you do it! In fact, I'll volunteer to tutor her! Wait.... dang! I do have my own family to take care of. Never mind. Crud!
Have a great time, hon!
At least she has good taste! Better taste than me...for sure. :D
