university

It's always amused me that people call daycare "school" now. So Hubby and I prepped Daughter for the university last night. Told her to be good and not cry and whatnot. Nobody prepped me apparently. Momma needs chocolate and liquor and a part-time job. I'm not sure how I'm going to do this...it's been a surprisingly difficult morning. No way I'm making it to 5:00. So here's the Chicken, first day of daycare. You know, before she left and we were both still smiling.

Well, unless it is 'just' a day care, she is at 'school' where loving, educated staff will teach her developmentally appropriate things such as sign language and rocket science!
The first day Shane went, I cried for twenty minutes - sitting in my car in the parking lot wanting to go back in and get him!

You call as much as you want! When I worked at the onsite "school" for children of Herman Hospital Employees, we welcomed calls and drop-ins. And we reassured the parents that were dropping off the newbies that we were going to give them lots of love. And we did!

And Scarlett looks precious in the cutest skort ever!

I love how they call it "tuition" and the caregivers are "teachers". I nearly laughed out loud during my first tour when I was still preggers.

Pat yourself on the back...you made it through the first day.

Hope today is easier, and tomorrow and the next day, etc...

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine...
