big j had to give a speech dressed like a person from 1945 this morning.
i went to the goodwill and spent $12 on a pair of trousers, a skinny tie, a suit jacket, a dress shirt and a derby hat. he looked a little al capone.
this morning i went to hear his speech during "coffee shop" in his classroom,
he went to the front wearing blue jeans tucked into big clunky snow boots, the suit jacket and a tie sort of hanging loosely around his t-shirt.
so it goes. so it goes.

You were expecting something else from a 10 yr old boy? It was all in his backpack, isn't that enough? BTW - also in the backpack are the gym clothes he's been wearing since Sept.

I want to 'like' what KMOSS said. My life resembles that comment!

it took everything i had not to say "jace, what about your hat?" as he marched to the front of the room.

Remember your goal! I would like to say the helicopter ends-it doesn't. Currently big fry has to earn his kindle each day when the dreaded planner that "no one uses MOM", has to be signed by teachers. I sometimes feel to, it is a losing battle.
