I came to your blog and saw you had commented on your last post, so I figured you were alive! :-)<br /><br />Hmmm, TTT...how 'bout the worst (best?) secret we ever kept from our parents. As in, they still don't know about it. And hopefully don't read our blogs. *cough* Worst date stories? How we deal with the most annoying habit of our significant others (and hopefully they don't read our blogs, either :P )? "Things I wish someone had told me before getting married"? <br /><br />I don't know, I'm bad at coming up with topics. This is why I come to you! :-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484148947744118811.post-6283866954808139492010-04-15T07:28:59.633-05:002010-04-15T07:28:59.633-05:00Yes! I too was wondering what happened to TTT. E...Yes! I too was wondering what happened to TTT. Even though I'm a spotty participater (I need prep time and warning on the topics!) I do look forward to it.<br /><br />And I bet you being the only mom earned you an extra gold star or something in Teena's estimation of you. <br /><br />Our YMCA has family swim on Sunday afternoons and my kids always want to go. But, they have this dumb rule that "family swim" as opposed to "free swim" requires a parent to actually be IN THE WATER. So...I put on my bathing suit, wrap in a towel, sit on the edge with my feet dangling and read my book. Works 9/10 times. I hate swimming too, and my kids think that's lame. The 1/10 times it doesn't work, it's not because of the lifeguard making me get in, it's the kids.Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992203896914180674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484148947744118811.post-1932495778812778742010-04-14T22:12:46.907-05:002010-04-14T22:12:46.907-05:00Oh shit!

The stupid teacher made the moms come on the floor at the end and learn part of the recital dance with our four year olds. In a room covered with mirrors and dads and grandparents standing behind us video taping. Every other mom got up to do it, I couldn't leave my kid hanging. Now I wonder how many of those cameras have my giant behind multiplied infinate times by the wall mirrors dancing like a white girl with my daughter. I hope I never have to see anyones copy. <br />Note to self: Do not befriend any of the dance class moms on facebook.Amy C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04015064785847499573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484148947744118811.post-28058662062094542382010-04-14T09:07:15.289-05:002010-04-14T09:07:15.289-05:00Yeah, I gotta go with Lisa.
