Some days begin with scramble . Flustered details aside , I skidded onto main campus just as the last car was pulling away , crammed my instruments ( flute + piccolo ) below the seat in front of me just the way I was taught by countless airline stewardesses , and went back to sleep . In my dreams , I congratulated myself on my good fortune and promised to blog about this .

A: What may happen after I leave class ?

I talked about the $ 196 I paid to get my daughter ready for school . I wish that was the end of the school expenses . I just paid another $ 195 for after school activities for this semester . Last year she participated in an after school art program called Young Rembrandts that she just loved .

A: Why did she participate in an after school art program ?

At a pinch I look , if anything , like I might have a pen I could possibly lend someone in a post office or something , but opening beer bottles with my teeth ? I ' m not that badass . I shook my head slowly " No , sorry man . No can do " .

A: Why did they refuse to open the beer bottles ?

Sadly , though the BIG Green Tree in our Great Room is up and has the lights on it , I just ca n't muster up the desire to decorate it . This is my first Xmas without my Mom and it is a struggle to just get through the day without crying . My Mom always decorated the stair bannisters and wreaths for my doors as well as help me do the tree . This year my bannisters are n't decorated and I got my white wreaths at Target !
