Ok so here's the thing. I am not going to my own daughter's kindergarten graduation and neither is Jay. We both feel pretty bad about this. I have school and can't miss, and Jay has work and can't miss. BUT my wonderful dad and mom and my best friend Debi are going in our place. I have been feeling like the worst mother and then my good friend Sheri reminded me that Tara was only 1/13th of the way through school. And that's why I love Sheri. She keeps things in perspective.
Anyway, I was thinking of giving Emily a one-time-use camera to capture the moments that her parents won't see. I am curious what an eight-year-old's pictures might turn out like. Being shorter than the crowd, she'll probably capture the back of someone's head.
Debi and my dad will use my camera, I hope. It only likes me, though. Everyone else gets blurry pictures from it. Jay does have a video camera from 1987. I wish I were kidding. It looks like a newsman's camera compared to all the video cameras of today. We are so unhip.
I'm not a bad mother, just a busy mother. I'm not a bad mother, just a busy mother.... I still feel bad.

You are most certainly not bad parents!
Now if you skipped the graduation so you two could catch a show…then you’d suck.
Besides, I keep telling you to forget about putting money away for college and set up a therapy fund – they’ll thank you for it later!
You are so funny! From now on, when they complain about us we'll tell them to save it for therapy. ha ha!
It's humorous and in reality also true. I mean, college (for me) is overrated in general. All college did was teach me how to accomplish things in very little time. But you could learn that skill at work too.
Not that I'm complaining though. I married my college crush! Her name is Joann. :)
I definitely have a LOVE/HATE relationship with college.
Once you get past the egos, the politics, and the inane hoop-jumping, I'm all in to a liberal arts education.
"Seek wisdom" and all that.
Which has amply prepared me for any number of upwardly mobile positions in food management & waste disposal.
