Son's hair is too long
Battle of the Bands upcoming
But visit to U is also

Mom would like to cut
Maybe the middle of night
Haircut fairy visit

My own is bad too
However my reason is great
Visit and cut soon

A NYC trip
Time with D and stylist too
Till then bangs in eyes

@oregon101:
Hey, what '09 thread?
A nagging voice in my head
says I've missed something....

Prom dresses special
Even at eighty eight years old
My mom still has ours

Four daughters she had
Finally birthed one lone son
He had long curls too!

I let son grow his...
now it's short as short can be:
He hated tangles.

My small victory:
Got it out of his system --
knows hair care takes work!

oregon, your trip
is the perfect antidote
to shaggy-son Angst.

S1 consented
to trim two inches last week.
I'd rather five more!

Oh how you forget
Where you met these friends of yours
Historymom's post

Do you now recall
How addicted we once were
Just a page over

Eventually
Graduating class of '09
Original place

Oregon, my bad --
So long, intimidating,
I didn't post there.

Tell your sick hubby
he needs sleep to recover --
no shoulder-surfing!

My senior boy's mood
About clothing
Is hard to be understood.

Most of the days
Dark unbuttoned long sleeves
On top of thermals.

On some good day
A flamboyant tie
With a neat white dress shirt.

I love son two's hair
Long waves down to his shoulders
I loved the sixties!

Mathson sports geekfro
It also looks pretty good
If only he'd shave!

Why so sad, Dear Son?
Common App is not yet done
More schools want essays.

I am a turtle
Calm, placid, undemanding.
Who is this DRAGON?

(ps, above a lie, but I see it coming, DS is in class of 2010)

Son skips dining hall
to make ramen in his room
breaking all the rules!

he needs to eat meat
not just msg and salt
eat protein son PLEASE!

fresh veggies are good
four glasses of milk you need
swedish fish are fake

oh, why won't he eat
food that will make him grow strong?
he needs to gain weight.
