Heroes

So today was the first of the billion events for the end of the year. Brooke's grade had a performance all about different heroes from history. She had a speaking part and did a fabulous job (what am I going to say, right? - but seriously).

Does anyone else know who Nelly Bly was? They had like this whole segment on her - one of our heroes - but I'm not sold on that one. I think they might have just picked her because there was a song that went with that section. I guess she set a recprd at the time for traveling around the world.

oh yeah, and i have a head cold and am really cranky - I feel kind of bad for Robie and the girls because they definitely get the brunt of my unpleasantness, but do they have to all be so annoying?

Nelly Bly sounds annoying too. You are the real hero come on. You deserve to be cranky. You are sick and pregnant not a good combo. Plus moms don't get sick days. You should bring your kids over and they can swim and we can discuss things that annoy us.

Hmmm, I was talking to another Mom that had a similar reaction to the Heroes performance. Amen to Diane's comment!

Seriously, how much can they cram in at the end of the year? These activities can only be aggravating your condition:) I am with you - by the way, I am sure Brooke did beautifully on her speaking part. Nelly Bly, Nelly Bly, nope doesn't ring a bell.
