Ava's First Day

Monday was Ava's first day of preschool.

To be honest I was a little unsure of whether

to let her go or not.  

It was not that I was going to miss her so much in 

the whole 3 hours she would be gone, no I wasn't 

struggling with THAT.

 No, she was actually acting weird all day, just

not quite herself.  Now I know that she has been

beyond excited to finally get to go to school so I

 figured she must be sick.

 She didn't seem too bad off and I thought maybe it was

just nerves so I sent her on her way.  She sculpted things out of 

play-dough, painted a picture, played outside, did show and tell,

learned about the weather that day, studied the letter of the day,

had a snack and played with her new friends.

 When I picked her up I could tell she didn't feel well.

She said she had fun but she just wasn't her happy little

excited self.  In the car she told me she had a headache 

and this morning she woke up with a fever.  : (

The whole thing is a little disappointing seeing as she 

was really looking forward to her first day!!

Also I'm not a big fan of sick kids, so there is that.

In truth I'm not feeling super great myself and I suspect

Norah is a little iffy too.  I really hope we all wake up

feeling happy & normal again tomorrow!!  

On a brighter note I thought I was having company Tuesday

so I spent the whole morning & afternoon cleaning the 

house.  I got all caught up on the laundry and everything!

My company canceled at the last minute and I didn't 

even care because I was so excited about how clean

my house was!

So please, everyone, make plans to come over, you 

don't even have to show up!  I just appreciate the 

motivation it lends in getting things done FAST!  : )

Ava will only be going to preschool on Mondays

for 3 hours, so technically I have a little time to get her feeling 

better but I am planning on us all waking up well tomorrow!

We've got fun things to do, enough is enough!!
