Jeremy's birthday

Monica, Beverly, and I do not manage to coordinate to go to the Shiva for Miriam. Jeremy arrives home from school and enlists me to help him get ready for the family birthday party at 5:30. Earlier this week he told me that he couldn't think of any present he wants-- he has everything: a pet bunny, a family dog, friends, a scooter, a bike, a computer, a playstation... he can't even think of a game he doesn't have yet that he wants. My mother sent him money, and maybe that's what I'll have to give him on official Kids Party and Present Day, Sunday.
