Spelling Bee
Well, I just returned from Chad's 5th spelling bee and may I say that it never gets less stressful. I always find myself mouthing the letters. Luckily the kids aren't facing the parents in middle school or I would probably be asked to leave. It used to be (during Chad's elementary school years) that I could totally have won the spelling bee - now, not so much! I couldn't believe some of the words that the kids were asked to spell by the third round. Only about 10 kids survived into the fourth round and I'm pretty sure at least 40 were left at the beginning of the third. Anyway, congratulations Jessica for spelling "propinquity"- I thought you were doomed for sure. As for Chad, he made it through the first two rounds with "fiesta" and "auditorium" but joined the mass exodus in the third with "subjugate". Oh well! I still think he's the bomb!

Jules. I don't even know the word subjugate, so tell Chad he's off the hook if college grads (like us academic folk) can't spell into the fourth round. Propinquity? Sheesh.
Have you seen Spellbound? Rent it. Or not, it might stress you out, but it's so entertaining to watch those kids!
Oh my gosh, I hate going to spelling bees! I feel all the kids' pain and I cry when they cry. It's very embarrassing.
