Another first day!

Today was it. My baby's first day of preschool.






He was so excited! He couldn't wait to find his locker and put his backpack away. There were absolutely no tears from either one of us. He just gave me a little wave and said "bye Mom" as I walked away.

After I dropped him off, I went off to find something to amuse myself...I didn't even know what I wanted to look for while I was there, so I wandered.

I ended up finding some cookbooks and sat down and actually browsed through them for a while.

It was too quiet. LOL I never realized how quiet the library actually is.

Anyway, I hung out there for a while, then picked out a couple of movies, signed everything out, and started walking towards home. Then I realized that I was right by the courthouse so I made a side trip there to check on some paperwork that I need to get filed soon. The staff there cleared up my questions, confirmed a few things, and then we set an appointment for next Friday.

Don't worry - you'll find out after it's all official. Just consider it another huge step for us. ;)

So I did lots of walking to get the boys back and forth to school (about 5 miles total) and enjoyed some quality quiet time to myself. It was odd. Definitely odd.

But I think that I can get used to it.

    Aren't they just the cutest? LOL that part of the school is only about two years old, so everything is still shiny and new. It's a fantastic program too.

    I think my kid-free time today will be spent with my sewing machine. I hurt too much from yesterday to do much of anything else. I'm so out of shape!

    I will definitely be over to check it out!

    :)

    ROFL Beth! I knew what you meant!

    I would have enjoyed my alone time today if I hadn't been trying to get updates on the earthquake - where we stayed in VA was only about 10 miles from the epicenter so it affected a lot of people that I know. Scary stuff, but it appears that everyone is fine! :)

    I am so glad everyone you know is fine. Since I have lived my entire life in California and have never had any damage from earthquakes and have never known anyone who has had any damage, I am not bothered by them at all. I guess it is what you are used to. I don't know how people can live where tornados or hurricanes constantly go thru and take out entire towns, now that scares me!

I have only two rules - don't reveal anyone's personal information, and be respectful. It's not difficult, honest. Now, go on and play.
