Oh LJ, how I've missed you. Seems today was too event-filled to leave to the quick few line status updates of Facebook. So, here I am again.

Today was L's first day of kindergarten. For weeks she'd been asking every day how much more time she had until she got to start "big school". Every day, she would cheer as the count got lower and lower. ( Read more... )

Mia got in trouble for having an attitude. Then when I sent her to her room, she started crying and screamed.

I may be a post whore today since I kept Mia out of school today. She had a high fever yesterday and I didn't want to take the chance of taking her to school only to get called halfway through the day to come pick her up.
