We thought we'd use Skype
internet slow, speech delayed
MOM, Skype $ucks--won't use!

five cents per minute
our long distance rate to Eire
cheaper than at home

baseballmom

how would we survive
if not for cc advice?
thank you faceless friends!

BBmom-

Too bad about Skype!
It was a godsend for us.
But cheap calls are good!

College counselor
Asked my eleventh grade son
"What's your major, kid?"

How the bloody heck
Is he supposed to know now?
He's still in high school!

The pressures kids face
It just makes me want to cry
Tough boy's lip quivers!

baseballmom

thoughts now turn to spring
green grass, red clay, white chalk lines
baseballmom can't wait

each game brings new hope
can he hit out of the park?
eye on the ball, son!

son's ready to pitch
shhhh, focus. one pitch, one strike
two strikes, three. he's out!

Each boy stands alone
every eye upon him
heavy weight to bear

swing that bat, be strong
not too fast, not slow, just right
A hit! He runs! SAFE!

One more hit, they run!
Feet on fire, heading for home!
Run like the wind, boys!

The whine of Jet Skis
The tube skips across the wake
Spring on the lake

OR 101
you will surely see us there
Jeans and sweatshirt gals

I asked my D this
Are you more excited now?
"Yes" but then "and no."

son's facebook status

My boy, seventeen,
Next week you will be a man.
How did this happen?

Harold and Kumar
We watched with our teenager
Hope he didn't take notes!

Go ask your teachers
For your recommendations.
Time to get going.

Please write that report
For your Girl Scout Gold Award
It needs to get done.

Do that last essay --
Application’s nearly done;
Press “submit” and pray!

It’s time to write notes
Saying “thank you” to teachers:
It’s only polite.

Stop by the office
Have them send midyear report:
You’re almost there now.

After the nagging,
Coaxing, persuading, and tears,
Ev'rything is done.

Nothing left to do;
But watch the mailbox, e-mail;
Waiting, together.

Oh you braggy mom
You're giving me a headache
Yeah, you're kid is great

I am so tired
Of having you brag about
Honors and AP!

Yeah, yeah, yeah ... he's great
He's so Smart and popular
But here's a secret

Everyone else thinks
Your kid is just a mean jerk
Here's a tip for you:

Next time you have one
Try to teach them some manners
That's more important!!!!

Sometimes hard to understand

LOL RT! Here is my snarky one.

You were my kids' friend
Their best one until 6th grade
Then you blew them off

Guess they were not cool
And you were Regina George
Sad, you lost yourself

Popularity
Was your quest years nine and ten
Ooops where are your grades?

Now my "uncool" girls
have oodles of great choices
But you, not so much

LACs and States
It's a Cafeteria
Options are so cool

I really like you
and have gotton over it
Choices have results

Calculus no Way!
How can this be my baby?
Math is not my friend
