Ist Day of School..................... (just a week late)

August 21, 2007
Bre First day of 6th Grade
Hanie First day of 4th Grade

Well, here you have it.......................1st day of school pics, and only a week late!

It has now been a full week of school, and Bre has managed to miss 2 days already. I hope this isn't a trend for the rest of the year.

Today, I have a hair appointment, but unless she want to highlight my hair while I drive the Big White Porcelain Bus, I guess I am going to cancel. I can't wait to hear when she can squeeze me in next. Maybe me and a bottle of Clairol will be having a date.

Well...................off to eat some more DeLiCiOuS saltine crackers and Ginger Ale! CHEERS!

Sam's 1st Day of Preschool!

A little excited!

Sam & Teacher Carrie

Okay.................................what is wrong with me? The child that drives me crazy has only been gone for 1/2 hour and I miss him!

I guess I should be glad that preschool is only 2 days a week. I do not know what I am going to do with myself on M & W's for 2 1/2 hours! Maybe I will get use to the peace and quite..................wow, what it must be like to be able to do something without interruptions. I don't know though, I think my ADD thrives on disruption and chaos!

The girls are at school today, so hopefully their worshipping of the porcelain gods is over. I now feel bad that I thought Hannah was being a Drama Queen last week...........it really does feel like little aliens are in your gut.
