Up To Date

I know I've been flaky about how often I post.  Sorry about that.  Alot has happened over the last month and to be perfectly honest, I just hadn't really had time to get online and write on my blog.  I wanted to, but I didn't have time.

Before Christmas, I was wrapping gifts like crazy and it was just too much for me to be online.  I didn't really even have much chance to get on facebook.

But here I am and it's time to do a little bit of catch up.  Well, our family had a really great Christmas and New Year.  The kids had a great Christmas, and it was exhausting.  But, the kids had a great Christmas and that was what mattered.

Scott had the week of Christmas off, so that was very nice.  It was the first time, in a long time, that we'd spent any amount of time together.  We really enjoyed it.  We had friends over for Christmas Eve and then we had a little get together on New Years Eve.  We even played cards and it was so much fun.  I haven't played cards in years and years.

I'm back to my normal schedule at work.  There's more going on work but I'll get back to that later. 

We had a great morning this morning.  I took Samantha for preschool sign-up.  Since John was a previous student, that helps us get in.  I'm not looking forward to paying tuition on top of daycare, but Sami is ready for preschool.  It was so cute, two of the kids she goes to daycare with are in preschool and Sami knows exactly where Miss Rhonda's class is.  So, we walked down the hallway, around the library, and to Miss Rhonda's room.

When it was time to leave, she started to cry.  She wouldn't put her coat on.  She kept telling me, "no mommy, you go to work....I stay at school.  Where my desk?  I have homework in my desk.  I no leave preschool."

I had to bribe her with a hashbrown and orange juice from McDonalds to put her coat on and go to Addies house.  Just turned 3 and she knows how to work me, lol.

So, she is just ready to start school right now.  I tried to explain that she would start after summer.  She's not buying it, she is ready for school.  She even packed her backpack for it, lol.  Was so cute.

I have so much more to say, to get you up to speed.  But I am so incredibly tired.  I haven't slept well the last several nights and I'm sitting here in the chair having a hard time staying awake.  I'll be back tomorrow to finish my story.
