In addition to the $18 million worth of supplies we need to bring, Dizzle's teacher asked us to fill out a questionnaire, so that she could learn a little something about each student. One of the questions was, "Can you recall a moment this summer that made your child proud?" Not wanting to assume, I asked Dizzle to tell me what she was most proud of this summer.
Her reply? "Running the 5K and being in Runner's World."
Yup, at age 6, my kid is a runner ...
How do you say it? - My arrival in Seattle for Hood to Coast, once again proved to me that NO ONE knows how to say my name. I bet you're thinking, "Sure I do. It's said Ton-ya."
And with that you'd be 100% wrong. Only one person has ever said it correctly upon meeting me. And he fessed up to practicing beforehand.
So, let's clear this up right now.
My name is Tonia.
Pronounced: TOE-KNEE-AHH
Got it? Probably not. That's why most people call me T. Or TMB. Or if you happen to be my oldest friend, Moe.
Responsibility - Sometimes being a grown up sucks. That is all.
