Too funny. That recipe looks great. I can always go for some rum punch. Well, maybe not always, but you know what I mean. Thanks for linking up to the hop this weekend.

With budget cuts everywhere, people blaming them for the country being in the toilet, they'd probably appreciate it a lot more than a giant bottle of hand sanitizer (although I know they like that, too).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18427562250034222584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034529155352563520.post-73089970831628575652011-09-16T22:41:32.028-07:002011-09-16T22:41:32.028-07:00Haha!

How many other Mums get "stuck" with this joyous duty? My husband seems to be "conveniently" out of town for all these things...lucky guy! I am a pro now...it's practically a covert mission now to get in, introduce yourself to the teachers so your kid isn't singled out as the one with the parents too lazy too come out, and get out before some overly enthusiastic PTA mom tries to volunteer you for something. 1down, 1 to go ;)The Unexpected Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00467755895086463711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034529155352563520.post-77530890750101145612011-09-16T15:23:30.423-07:002011-09-16T15:23:30.423-07:00Oh my god, you are hilarious.

I would totally try this.<br /><br />I've found that 1 part apple cider (I used soft, but hard could be interesting as well!) to 2 parts nuun is a FABULOUS combination. :)Angela @ SF Road Warriorhttp://roadwarriorrunning.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034529155352563520.post-44869662393001281092011-09-16T12:14:17.084-07:002011-09-16T12:14:17.084-07:00The problem with back to school night is that, 90%...The problem with back to school night is that, 90% of the time, the people who REALLY need to hear the information aren't there. And are never there. Now that my youngest is in his third year in the same school that his older brothers went to, I don't feel a huge need to hear the same stuff AGAIN. This year, we went to the BTS night but skipped over the schoolwide stuff (been there, done that) and just waited to meet his new teacher. My husband was all, "But we have to go listen to the principal!"<br /><br />No, no we don't.

It was the day after Labor Day and I completely FORGOT. *sigh* Mother of the year, I am not. I DID manage to make the 3rd.

Our boys were all in the same kindergarten class and we met each other then so last year we went out after 1st grade curriculum night and this year after 2nd. We've promised to do it every year until Middle School.<br /><br />You made me think, though, in a few years I will have 3 separate ones to go to, as well!
