Back to School

Is there anything braver than a 5-year old going to public school for the first time? Not in my experience. You get through traffic to the overcrowded school for Opening Day and kids are screaming and crying for their mommies. Our little trooper Aliyah in her plaid uniform looks like such a big girl. She's been going to daycare since she was 3 so she's handling it and offering to help others. I've been babysitting her during the summer break. Anyone who thinks that's not a full-time job has never done it, or at least done it right. I pick her up at 2, and then we'll hear all about the first day.

Time magazine has a list of the 50 Top Websites for the year. Some I did not know about are really interesting. At Supercook.com, you type in a list of what you have in your fridge, and it tells you what recipes you can make with those ingredients. I keep getting beer cheese soup, so it shows my shopping needs.
