"Just another Manic Monday" thanks Bangels! What a day! Where do I start? We sent baby girl to preschool for the first time today...boohoo...she's so tiny, so delicate, so young...but she was watching too much television and getting into trouble at home. No those are not my only reasons for sending her, but they were definitely a factor.
She walked in with her little Jimmy Rollins backpack, thanks Daddy. The pink flamingo backpack, one that Mommy got, is coming so we had to make do with a bright red Phillies backpack. She was quiet when we left her and she would not remove her backpack...so sweet! We picked her up later and she still had her backpack on. The teacher said she cried for Mom a couple of times, but came around. She informed her sisters and myself that we should not leave her like that "ever again". Until tomorrow!!!
Lovely and Smiley were brutal today...I am just being HONEST!! I was brutal today...I am just being honest. I however have a certificate of excuse titled PMS Graduate, they do not! I am not saying that my PMS is an excuse. I am saying it makes everything worse.
It took us forever to get our work done. The school buses were coming past our house and the girls realized that the schools were DONE and we were NOT!!!! "I thought homeschooling meant we would have more free time, asked Smiley." "Not when you don't focus and take direction the first time,"replied Mom.
I am optimistic about tomorrow. I have to be! I ask the girls for forgiveness for my short fuse and they too ask for forgiveness for their sometimes irrational behavior.
Once again, my darling has brought a smile to my face. He came home with a sweet OWL, from Starbucks no less. I spotted the OWL one day and had to have it, but would not buy it for myself. I only find it fitting that the OWL will hopefully become the mascot for this page.
I am fond of the OWL as it is my college mascot and a symbol to all of being "wise". I wish I could always be wise in how I act, but I am not. I like my children am working on being better at my character. I too need homeschooling!

As the aunt to Lovley, Smiley and Baby Girl, I am so fortunate and thrilled to read this. It bridges the miles between us and makes me laugh.
I luv ya Mrs. Owl. Keep your chin up and remember that "this too shall pass" and all too quickly!
I kinda like the JRol Backpack! I have a feeling the pink flamingo will win out! Keep your chin up. Tomorrow is a new day.
