The kids have been in school for 4 days now, and it’s just John and I at home.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 And I have to say, it’s going quite nicely.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 I’m able to get a few things done, a little bit organized, and have some fun with just John.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve never ever had a 3 year old at home without having a younger child, so this is new territory for me.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Yesterday we went to the haircut place to get his hair cut.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 He looks SO DANG CUTE with his new short haircut, by the way.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Afterwards, since he was a good boy, we got lunch at Wendy’s.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 As we walked into the house, he asked me, ‘Where’s Jenna’s lunch?’\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 He misses Jenna!\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 I explained to him that Jenna goes to school all day, now, and eats lunch at school, instead of at home with us.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 And at that moment, I was very glad that John won’t be leaving me to eat lunch at school for a few years yet.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 I miss the other kids, and I would most definitely miss my little guy.<\/p>\n
Today he actually gets to go out to lunch and shopping with his grandparents for his birthday.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 They take the kids out to eat and then shopping.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 John chose McDonald’s for his lunch place, and then he didn’t care where they were going shopping.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Probably Wal-mart.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 It’s always fun to see what kind of toy or gift they come home with.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 This is his first time to go out with them, since they only take the 4-12 year olds.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 After 12, they still take them out to eat, but just give them cash instead of shopping with them.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 It’s a nice tradition and something the kids look forward to.<\/p>\n
So I’ve been writing letters to local businesses asking for donations and support for our PTA Reflections contest, which I am in charge of again this year.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 I’m trying to come up with a skit to introduce the theme for this year, which is, “I can make a difference by…”.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Hmmm.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Any ideas?<\/p>\n
And I’ve been de-sequining a shirt.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Yes, you read that correctly.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 De-sequining.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 I bought this cute shirt at Kohl’s the other day for 30% off of $4.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 I like it, and it’s a good color and everything, but it’s got these silly sequins scattered around the shirt.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t have anything against sequins, per say. \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 If you are a nine year old girl, you probably really like them.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 And they aren’t that noticable, so I don’t really mind them, except that they are scratchy.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Every time I move my arms or do anything that rubs against the shirt,…scratch, scratch, scratch.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Well, that simply won’t do, so I just cut them all off.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Because I’m creative like that.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 I like to take regular clothes and make them even plainer.<\/p>\n
So, there you have it folks.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 The excitement that is my day.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 I’m kind of enjoying it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
