OUch "38"

Well it happened!I had another birthday, as much as I tried to avoid it.I had a very quiet day, which was kinda nice. I looked up facial recipes online, ended up with an avacado & banana facial that was wonderful. Then soaked my feet in hot soapy water and gave myself a pedicure!NICE. Then I shopped with a gift card for a few new shirts. I did make myself a rather fabulous dinner though!Steak, Crab, Shrimp, Potatoe skins and yummy brownie a la mode for dessert!After dinner my birthday buddy(Jordan who shares my birthday with me), came by with the new GEORGE STRAIT cd!!!!Here is a picture of us another year older!!

Abby starts Kindergarden


Isn't this the cutest Kindergardener you have ever seen???Okay, so Abby's birthday is not until November. So she missed the cut off to be able to attend public school. I decided to enroll her at Crown Charter School (Alexa went there). We had to wait on a list to get in because it is so popular. They called us the week before school, and we went down to the school and had a simple evaluation to make sure she was ready!Green light, its all a go!On monday, was an orientation day where the moms could go with the kids to introduce the whole school life to them. Wrong, we waited in the mad house of a line just to park. Then we went into her class saw the teacher, she gave us some paperwork and that was it!!!Fast forward to day two. We wait in the long line again to drop off our students, and they expected us to open the door and kick our kids out at the curb! Wrong, Abby is 4 and extremely shy!!!She is not getting out of the car with a stranger and then expected to wander around a new school until someone finds her and gets her to the right place.So I park, find my way toward the classroom, only to hear a crazy lady on a P.A. system singing at the top of her lungs!Abby lost it, crying, clinging to my leg.Then the lady started yelling at the parents to leave the area, and we were not allowed to accompany our children any further if she found us in any of the classrooms we could take our child and go home!!!!Oh it gets better, Abbys teacher has a handicap and uses a scooter or cane to walk so she could not help us with our verrrrrry scared children.So its time for the kids to go to class,and they are to follow her.Not, Abby already has her breaks on.I tried to walk her to the door but she wouldnt go in, so a very nice lady asked if she was suppost to be in that class and nodded and she took Abby's hand and led her to the door. When Abby realized i wasn't coming she let out a blood curdling scream "MOMMY" and then the door shut!!!I almost died, i hurried to the car to cry all the way home. I was in shock all day, an hour before release time I jumped in the car and raced over.I was glued to the walk way waiting for the first glimps of my baby!!!The minute i sat eyes on her, I burst into tears.She jumped into the car talking a mile a minute about how much she loved school!!!!Go figure, my baby has grown up!!I love you Abigail.
