Today

Today was one of those days:

*Sometime between last night and this morning, Birdy got sick in her bed and down the side.
*Lemon, who is still recovering from the surgery to remove a cancerous tumor on her hind leg, decided to lick it up off the carpet.
*I've had a headache all day.... let the kids watch TV on a school night, which is against my own rule.
*Toad was not a good listener tonight. I yelled. A lot.
*Tired of hair hanging in Birdy's eyes, I made the big mistake of cutting her bangs. I should have left it to a professional, or someone with a steadier hand. Things were going quite well until she suddenly jerked and the shears (at least I wasn't using regular scissors) slipped and, well, let's just say she has uneven micro-bangs. I'm hoping they'll grow out soon. Like maybe before we need to have pictures taken for our holiday card. Sigh.
*It's 7:10 pm, Hammer Guy is at class, I have mountains of laundry left to do, and the kitchen is a mess. I can't wait for this day to be over!

First Day of Kindergarten

Today is Toad's first day of kindergarten! He has been very excited for this day to arrive. He spent the last two weeks at Grandma B's house while CdB was closed for summer break and now it's time to get back into our school routine. He is the only child in the actual kindergarten class, but there are eight other students in the school right now. He's looking forward to being the "leader."

Hammer Guy and I aren't feeling the traditional kindergarten emotions that parents go through, since he's in such a familiar setting. Maybe next year when he leaves CdB and goes off to 1st Grade!

Happy First Day of School to everyone!
