<p>Oh indeed pack-mom
a sad true correlation
stresses lead to pudge.</p>
<p>Tell me about pudge!
My particular poison:
ice cream with hot fudge! :p</p>
<p>Or anything sweet
and chocolate-y in a pinch…
I’m not too picky. :o</p>
<p>What a cute word,pudge
Surely the stress is it’s cause
Can’t be the Breyers.</p>
<p>I look and wonder,
Where have all the haikus gone?
Not so many now?</p>
<p>Hey Mrs Weasley,
bet there will be lots more soon…
weekend approaches!</p>
<p>Gaels versus the Zags
Just six seconds remain now
Inbound now and score</p>
<p>Bad guys have it now
Freaking A Zags at the line
They hang on to win.</p>
<p>Oh Mrs Weasley
I feel ya my CC sis
Where are the poets</p>
<p>hey Historymom
I did compose an e-mail
think it did not send</p>
<p>You and D and mine
Happy faces we will see
hope to say hello</p>
<p>Salem will be wet
not too cold and no snow piles
smiling faced admits</p>
<p>We are three family
One tall and skinny, one short
S somewhere in between</p>
<p>OR 101
You’ll see us. D’s long straight hair
is light brown, eyes blue</p>
<p>Expect little fuss
in clothes, hair, makeup, or style
I spend more time though</p>
<p>D eschews fashion
norm is jeans and team sweatshirt
sometimes a hoody</p>
<p>I’m in jeans though too
but age requires more effort
hair dyed auburn brown</p>
<p>She is thin, average
in heght. slight athletic build
I used to be…sigh</p>
<p>What will your H think?
I’m crazy CC lady.
probably a man.</p>

Teeth smile when happy</p>

Crazy talk and anxiety
Diverted to CC!</p>

<p>Can anybody
weigh in with stories of fast
recovery time?</p>
<p>Son and many friends…
amazing chiropractor…
recovered fast, well.</p>
<p>Son, only back strain.
Friends, some football injuries
but no broken bones.</p>
<p>Feather-light touches,
maybe three or four visits,
avoid surgery.</p>
<p>HarrietMWelsch,
See if you can find one who
does DNFT.</p>
<p>(Hate chiropractors,
had lousy ones as a kid,
but this is different.</p>
<p>Some say quackery,
but our Van Rumpt protege
has helped us a lot.)</p>

S2 to S1: “Hey! he
has ED like you!”</p>
<p>Mrs W & HW–</p>
<p>Humorous indeed!!!
Woke me up from poor night sleep
No day looks better</p>
<p>Found fingers tapping
Syllables 5 and 7
Tapping on the bed</p>
<p>Past was colleges
Invaded dreams obssession
Is much improvement!!</p>
<p>Just got the letter…
please pardon my tiny gloat:
He made Finalist! :)</p>
<p>High school, still no word.
They must have known it last week.
What gives, counselor? 
</p>
<p>ED, too funny!
Applications did feel like
something dysfunctional. :D</p>
<p>first college visit
with second child - ugh, it starts
all over again</p>
<p>winter in boston
time to visit colleges
i hope she won’t like</p>
<p>save my fav’rite schools
for warmer April weather
Mom is devious.</p>
<p>D wants to visit
college in the big city
iffy neighborhood</p>
<p>overprotective mom
wants D in small suburb school
boring but safer</p>
<p>geekmom can gloat here
where it is safe and where we
all truly “get it.”</p>
<p>Hooray for geek kid.
Hooray for all the seniors
who have worked so hard.</p>
<p>Congratulations,
Geek-mom/Geek_son! That’s great news.
High school almost done,</p>
<p>So the counselor
who forgot about Geek_son
is soon forgotten.</p>
<p>(I wanted to work
another dysfunctional
joke in there but failed.)</p>
<p>High school counselor
is a wonderful person, but
some things don’t make sense.</p>
<p>Thanks, mafool, Weasley. 
So many CC kiddos
impress me to death.</p>
<p>Senior year is hard!
More than when I was in school.
Worth celebrating!</p>
<p>My mom’s recipe
for the moistest chocolate cake

And Duncan Hines is on sale.
