And So,

After months and I do mean months of persistantness and yes I know that is not a word, but nothing else can describe what it took. I want you to NOTICE... The slide show!! Oh, I feel so proud!! I know I didn't do it the way it was suppose to be done, and the pictures aren't as perfect as I would have wished but, I FINALLY did it. Whew, now I can get on with my life... I seriously hate obsessing on things, but sometimes I can't help myself.
Tomorrow I am going out and about I will have my camera in hand so beware, now that I can, I will definitely wow you with my barely adequate photography!



Have you ever had one of those most embarrassing moments that is so embarrassing that it is funny even to you... Probably not, but I get them a lot. Take this morning for example.

"Okay Sam, let's get going time to get up and ready for school." This is not as fun as you might think since he has to be ready and waiting for the bus by 7:20, but we manage. And by Friday, it is less fun than other days... So I get his lunch ready, and put it in his back pack. I notice his Friday folder is in there but when I ask him about it, he says the teacher was getting things ready and did it yesterday... Whatever how strange he also said she had a cold, so I'm thinking maybe she is going to be absent today and got it done for the substitute..

So off he goes to the end of the driveway and I go about my morning business with one eye on him, but still doing things around the house. I can hear the bus when it stops so I look out and watch him get on. Yeah I know, I probably should be standing out there with him, but I don't...

About 7:45 he comes back in the front door. He says, "I quit, I'm not waiting for the bus any longer..." So naturally I let him know that won't work and for some unknown reason the bus was about 20 minutes late yesterday... I watch out the window for a few minutes and then decide to call the bus barn and get to the bottom of this... Of course I tell them where I live and ask what's the deal?? Why is the bus so late?? And then...she tells me there is no school today...huh? Why did I not know that? Could someone let me in on the secret?? I mean really everyone else must have known... Do you think I need to read those notes in the back pack?? Now I'm wishing I hadn't told her where I live, but I can always hope she thinks I'm the mom from the only other house on our street.... I guess I should just be happy I didn't take Sam to school and drop him off... I would have thought we were really late and all the students were already inside. Most likely would have gotten a phone call that I needed to come get him... Probably followed by a home visit...
