well, I did think it was over, but nope, not quite. I thought a call from the principal would be enough. Apparently I was wrong because the next morning I got this. You are going overboard with your attitude. Mary Goodson has already taken the game on. I said if you wanted to send in [...]

Rather than paraphrase, I’ll just include the emails intact. Room parent: No the candy does not have tree nuts in it. I will not send a list home because I have everything I need now and the parents gave the party money, they don’t need to be nickeled and dimed to death. I will take [...]

Sighs….Muffins with Mom was a disaster. Now it’s time for Doughnuts with Dad. I have tried to call the coordinator multiple times but she’s yet to respond. I can only assume that the doughnuts will be unsafe for Dorothy and that her teacher will need to insist on handwashing upon entry to the classroom tomorrow [...]

When Dorothy started the day lolly-gagging along, I should have just decided to forego the Muffin’s with Mom, sponsored by PTO at the school. But no, I pressed on and forced the issue, prodding her to hurry up and get moving so we could get there right when it started. We raced out the door [...]
Nuts are not weapons

Sorry for the downer post Nuts are not weapons, and we will not play war games using pretend nuts like hand grenades or M16s. Yes, I actually had to say that last night to my boys because they were upsetting Dorothy. Dorothy suffers from anaphylactic allergies to all tree nuts, so everyone here knows that [...]
