Back to School Night - We went to Cedric's first Back to School night at the High School. It was really neat to see all his classes and meet his teachers.

His school is huge, Eddie and I got lost more than once. We were saved by the fact that his fifth period teacher wasn't there, so we had enough time to get to that class and back to the next class.

We ran into one of my friends - her son (who Cedric knows) is in a class with Ced. Why didn't you tell us? Well, I didn't think about it. Rolls eyes. It was a pleasant surprise nonetheless!

And, in the I feel old category (even more than the fact I have a high schooler) since it is Spirit Week - they have 80s Day. I shudder to think I have things in my closet that could be worn for this day. Eeek.

Have a fabulous Thursday!

Lots of Little Updates!

Xavier Thank you for all your kind words and thoughts about Xavier (9). He seems to still be kind of cranky, but hopefully he's getting out of it. He did find himself grounded after he pulled it with his dad. We'll see if that gets through to him.

Cabbage Keep the recipes coming! I'm loving all of them and looking forward to trying them soon.
Eddie, who is our main cook in the family, made a cabbage soup with falsage (tofu sausage) on Saturday night. We sat down to eat it and Cedric said "I feel like a peasant". But, he was a well fed peasant. It was wonderful.

It's a Good thing I'm not a betting woman San Diego went down in three games.

Of Mice and Men, Part II Cedric told me on Sunday that at the end of the test, he could choose one of four questions to respond on. The one he chose? "Where does the title come from?" Score one point for mom!
