It's Channukah!

So my husband would rather pay for jewelry than teeth!  Forget bracelets...I want BRACES!  Now my Chanukah gift list is out there for you...and Dr. Roth!

It's Winter Break and I couldn't be happier! I need a break!  PTA, Room Parent meetings...oh the list goes on...AND I have to work!

Some "Room Moms" crack me up. Yesterday as I was baking latkes for my daughter's classroom, a mom came in to "help." She brought me oven mitts. Thanks for the help.

This was comical: She was complaining how the other room-mom thinks that just because she shops and buys supplies for the class and brings them to school, she thinks she's done something.  Guess what?  SHE HAS!

I appreciate the moms who help out like that!  I HATE shopping but you do spend less time when you shop than when you help out in school.  I'd rather help out in school and baking frozen latkes is easy, right?  WRONG!

I'm using the school's kitchen and burn the top of my arm and say a few things that wouldn't be acceptable on sunda croonquist comedianJerry Springer.  Don't worry...nobody was there to help me so nobody heard me!  I rush upstairs to the class to find out that they won't need them for an hour or more!  I'm in a predicament.  I WANT a latke!  I LOVE latkes and thank G-d I only make them once a year as my cholesterol is at an all time high.  Why? I have no idea.  I never fry ANYTHING yet it's at a dangerous level.  The doctor tells me that if  it's not lowered two months I'm going on medication.  If it helps me lose weight..... I'm in!

I'm in on my youngest daughter's Hebrew class for her belated birthday celebration and for the first time in a LONG time I had "THAT" out of body experience. The infectious laugh attack! I love to laugh but this?  INEXCUSABLE!  I felt the giggles coming on while I was looking at the crazy things going on in the class while the teacher's back was turned.  A kid gave himself a wedgie for no apparent reason while another kid began to lick his hands!

I lose it. I'm at the point where I am trying to put my head in a bad spot... trying to think about sad things so the giggles would STOP! My daughter looks at me like I'm CRAZY and she starts to laugh.  Her whole table is laughing and it spreads. This teacher is looking at me like I'M crazy but she didn't see the whole scene!

Happy Hanukkah VJ readers and remember to exclude me from YOUR kid's class.  Not because I'm funny but because kids are funny!  Have a great winter break and thanks for tuning into VJ where laughter is always the best medicine...although it won't lower your cholesterol! JLTV's "James and Sunda" will start production in January.  VJ readers get first dibs at studio tickets and that's a great way to start a new year...with laughter! Just not in your kid's class!
