1st Day 1st Grade

P8240091082420080001.jpg

Yesterday I sent Ainsley off to First Grade.

Someone asked me, Did you cry?

Cry? I did cartwheels!

Which is an exaggeration. I felt a some relief.

Have you any idea what its like to work with two small children in your cube?

THIS is the reason I'm not doing cartwheels - Yet.

Zack is bored and lonely when his sister goes to school. He needs to go to preschool. Only I didn't realize my new town has only one and it fills up fast.

I'm praying for two biters and two separation anxieties - Zack's 4th on the list.

Mother's Day Out will give me 2 days a week to work uninterrupted. It will give him social contact with other children and stimulation. He's super smart - which is why he was trying to Make His Own Popcorn For Dinner. Check out his Potty Dance debut on YouTube.

How are ya'll managing your first day of school around the country?

Kid Free Weekend

by Tracee Sioux

Do you vacation without the children? Well, my husband and I never have. Not together. We've separately taken a weekend to go on a retreat or a night away, but never together.

This weekend will mark the first time. We're not going far, just to a nearby bed and breakfast for the weekend.

It's good for our children to see us go away alone. They'll have a lovely time at NaNa's house. They're perfectly independent little ones so there won't be much crying in the night for Mommy. It's good to leave your kids, lets them know that they can do things without you and you'll always come back. Plus, it's great for the parental sanity. Hopefully great for the marriage as well.
I'm actually feeling a bit awkward and shy about two days alone with my husband.

What if we don't know what to say to each other?
Wish us luck! See you Monday.
