When you just can't wait for trash day...

This is what it looked like in the backyard around the corner after the fire engine showed up to ask them to put out their backyard shed bonfire. Nice.

Our resident school bus
Thursday, March 1, 2007
So, every weekday this school bus parks down my street. It doesn't really bother me, but I think it probably would if I were the person who just moved into the house right across the street from it's parking spot...yesterday there were 2 police cars camped out right behind it, and I thought the driver would be getting a talking to, but here it is right back there today. I think the driver hangs with a friend around the corner in between morning and afternoon shifts. Of course, he wouldn't want to trouble his friend with parking in front of his house...Labels: complaining, school bus, the hills

In my search for some more fun Play-Doh accessories, I keep finding the selection very limited. So I just made a visit to the website—Who knew that Hasbro had annual and seasonal releases of gadgets? One of the new 2007 items (this is one of the few items I keep seeing in the stores) is this "Confetti Maker." Hunh? Would someone actually spend money on a toy that's only use is to make thousands of miniscule pieces of Play-Doh to strew about your house? Seriously. Jasper does that on his own anyway, so I guess I just saved $16.99.Labels: complaining, jasper, play-doh, toys

It's out of my hands now...
Thursday, February 15, 2007
We received our JCC preschool application two days ago. I stopped in there this morning to turn it in, where I was able to hand it directly to one of the preschool folks, who checked it and blessed me for having it all in order. So, now we wait (potentially until after Passover, I am told, which is, well, I'm not sure when, but more than a month away) to hear about his placement for the Fall.Labels: complaining, jasper, JCC, preschool

To the parents of Jasper Lester
Saturday, February 10, 2007
Well, Jasper received his first preschool admissions letter this morning. Actually, it was addressed to his parents, but nonetheless...He's on the waiting list at Beth El. This was not entirely unexpected b/c we are not members there, but it would be nice to have the option--especially b/c we don't know of any other acceptances yet. We have yet to even receive the application from the JCC, which is starting to make me a little unsure about them for next year too...this leaves us with Garrett Park Nursery School, which we should be hearing from soon. Here's hoping one of those works out! Mommy needs to get back in the gym.Labels: complaining, jasper, JCC, preschool

Radio Slack
Friday, February 9, 2007
Just got back from running to Radio Shack, among other places, b/c the adapter on J's sound machine crapped out. I know it's the cord and not the machine 'cause the batteries still work...anyway, run over to Radio Shack, dead adapter in hand. Wait for about 20 minutes while other customers are helped and an employee seemingly on break walks back and forth about 5 times with his Campbell's Soup-in-hand. Jasper is taken with some sort of reptile robot-type thing they have on clearance. Finally get helped, only to come home with the new adapter and it doesn't fit. And even if it did, the part that goes into the wall is so big, it won't even stay in. It falls right out. Of course, I happily handed over the old one to the guy behind the counter. It didn't even occur to me to compare the plugs. You would think maybe it would have, b/c this kind of thing seems to happen to me every time I go to Radio Shack. Guess I'll be visiting them again tomorrow!Labels: complaining
