The "sh" word

So last week I get Jessa's little duck paper out of her book bag. A duck paper is five ducks in a row that your kid colors green for a good day yellow for not bad but not really good and red for yea...totally not good. Yes, there is an ugly red duck amongst the other greens with a little note on the back from her teacher that say's "Jessa wrote the "sh" word in class today".....and the conversation follows:

Me : Jessa...Did you write the "sh" word today?

Jess: ummm..yeah

Me: WHERE did you write it and why?????

Jess: on the whiteboard in front of the class

Me: WHAT?

Jess: welllll.....

Me: WHY?

Jess: Mommmm...the teacher told us to write an "sh" word and it was all I could think of!!

In another nutshell.....

If you haven't posted for months and months you are basically reserving the right to multi-mega-post right? This is one big jumbly swirl of Christmas, Thanksgiving, Sledding, bowling and Santa all bundled up warm and snuggly like a wintery little smokey snausage in a blanket of Wal-Mart smiley faces.
