This mandatory program began this week and runs until June 8th. Parents of Pre-K students must attend the classes or risk having their child removed from Pre-K. As you [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s a jacket, hat, face mask and medicine bag, but they&#8217;re all broken, dirty or missing.

One of my biggest joys at leaving behind elementary and middle school was not feeling forced into fundraising for the school. We had to sell chocolate bars for $1.

		<description><![CDATA[One thing I failed to mention in the video was that most of the toys that drive me crazy were actually gifts. If I bother to buy my kids toys that make noise, they&#8217;re always educational&#8230;okay, except for the Uniqua doll, that one&#8217;s just cool. Other than that, the noisy toys we have were gifts. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 2002, I joined a birth club board for people due with babies in May 2003. For 7 months, we went through the ups and downs of pregnancy. Some of us had our babies early (mine was born in April) some went beyond their due dates, hanging on until June. At the end, the due [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We attended the Cherry Blossom Festival in Little Tokyo yesterday. It was a lot bigger and more fun that I expected. Kudos to the organizers of the event. As usual, with things like this in Los Angeles, it emcompassed all of Asia (though Indians were not represented at all), so we got to see things [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night was Ilia&#8217;s 3rd ballet recital. It was a close call, as the instructor couldn&#8217;t get into the room. Luckily, one mom has a background in breaking and entering and we got inside the church. Okay, not really&#8230;she just tried the door and it opened. Ilia was really excited about last night, not only [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My little boy totally fascinates me. He talks a bit and the randomness of it is hilarious. He also absolutely adores his big sister and acts like any time she&#8217;s away from more than 2 mintues is too long. Luckily for me, they play well together. This video is a little long for what it [...]]]></description>

Can you say overboard? Ha! Last night, I was reading Me, Myself and Eye and I saw [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My daughter is at that stage where so many things are &#8220;secrets&#8221;.  That means that she basically just whispers nonsense in your ear. The boy, who can&#8217;t even talk, has picked up on that and often has his own secrets to share.  It&#8217;s always the same secret. Wanna know what it is? Mama.  Daddy. Ya-Ya*.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m in Claremont Village, waiting to cross the street and some guy is booming his music out of his truck. That song Back in the Day by Ahmad was on. Two kids who were about 16 walked up behind me, one guy said, &#8220;Oh shit, that&#8217;s the jam! and started singing&#8230;&#8217;Back in the day when [...]]]></description>
