i'm off on the Road to Reno...

i'm not coming back till i'm done. (a very weak attempt to do a Bob Hope/Bing Crosby "Road" movie impersonation)

oh, for those of you who are too young to remember: Bob & Bing were entertainers in the '30s, and beyond who did a series of buddy pictures - the Lethal Weapon series of their day. Road to Rio, Road to Morocco...you get the idea.

i'm really good at digressing, huh.

so, i leave today for Reno - the Nephew is graduating from Kindergarten Thursday so Hubbs & i will be attending. but tomorrow...is The Field Trip.

ah, yes, i'm going to help be a Room Mom for the Kindergarten field trip to a local petting zoo/wildlife rehab facility. so many photo ops, i cannot stand it.

did i mention that it's the combined Kindergarten class? about 60 kids. oh, and the amount of kids i get is directly proportionate to how many adults come?

it's OK - you can laugh at me.

cannot believe he's six now. his birthday was last week, the party was Saturday, and luckily, the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine i won on eBay for him, arrived just when he started opening presents. he was totally excited. he wants to come pick me up at the airport today. how can i say no (like i would - duh.)?

it's good to be six.

**breaking news: my SIL just IM'd me (isn't technology wonderful?!) to let me know that the Nephew took a swan dive off his sister's bed, and caught the edge of the playtable in her room. luckily, it's a round table, but still good for a trip to the ER. no stitches, but a nice goose egg on his dome - should provide two black eyes just in time for graduation pictures! now there's a story to scrapbook!**
