Then after planning like crazy (about all the things I think I should have control over), I go and make a ridiculous, completely preventable mistake. For some reason, I had decided that THIS Sunday was going to be Father's Day. Meaning, there was only one week of school left. I would only needed a certain amount of boxes of chicken nuggets and tenders for James' school lunch. Of course, he eats the organic, free range ones with stone ground whole wheat coating. I know, how did he find out he liked them anyway? His mom has bought every kind out there and these are the only ones that he eats consistently at school. Of course he would eat Burger King too but that's not going to happen! It also means I need fruit tarts for breakfast. Yep, organic, real fruit. And Hebrew National hot dogs. I have enough of all these. But not for TWO weeks! Yikes. That goes the same for other groceries and toiletry products. Not to mention my depression in finding out that our mini-break (before the summer school session starts) is two weeks away. SOB! Talk about mental anguish. I am truly crushed.
So James better step up to the plate here and, especially for his mom's sake, continue his amazing streak. His astonishing accomplishments include: writing his name recognizably; consistently using words and approximations, including sentences; climbing the grown-up rock wall; AND, perhaps not coincidentally, sleeping through the night again!
