Out of my league

Today I had coffee with some other moms.  It was three moms:  two stay at home and one works.  All three moms have children in James' current class at the Lennen School.  We went to Starbucks a few blocks from James' school.  Mary Martin was with me but another mom has a little girl as well - little Stella. 

I enjoyed hearing about their experiences in Paris and recommendations for pediatricians, etc.  One mom recently lost her son Griffin around the Effiel Tower for almost an hour.  She found him at the police station and we all shared in her horror. 

We talked about parks to visit with the kids and what snacks are appropriate at school.  We are responsible for snacks in James' class every two weeks or so.  Healthy snacks are "encouraged" so I am told - and clearly there was a debate about this in James class this year, so say these moms.

After coffee I went to another park with Stellas mom so the girls could play.  We got to visit for a long time and she was able to tell me about one of the other moms that came to Starbucks with us, especially the working mom.  Apparently, the working mom works for Marc Jacobs - who is a totally famous designer, to quote the movie Clueless (that was for you Amy B.). 

Yes, she is one of the head designers for Marc Jacobs.

Forget trying to look cute enough to blend in with the other Paris moms.  I am completely out of my league here.
