All's Well that Ends Well

IN THE NEWS: According to World Magazine, on May 15 a man blared "Last Christmas" from the seasonal Wham! album from 1AM until 4AM through a stereo while he was visiting friends in a suburb near Newcastle, England. Police eventually seized the stereo and gave him a fine--which was the first noise nuisance prosecution by the Newcastle City Council's Night Watch team.

Well, the first day of school went off without a hitch--for my daughter. She's a real trooper. I, on the other hand, was depressed. But also proud, too.

The school had a "first day of school bash" so the parents could come in and spend a few hours with the children, seeing them in their new environment before going home. After the parent assembly, we came back into the kindergarten classroom. The teacher--whom we now love--then said that if there was anybody who needed to go hug their parents, they could do so now.

EVERY CHILD BUT MINE WENT FOR A HUG.

My mouth dropped open. If anything, I needed a hug! So my hubby shouts out to her, "We'll remember this!" To which, my daughter just giggled.

That little knuckle head.

Anyhew, today wasn't as exciting getting her on the bus. But it WILL be a true test, since I won't be with her for half the day like yesterday. She's totally on her own.

So... now that I'm together, I'm in the process of getting back to the business at hand which has been so thoroughly neglected these past few weeks. Namely, getting a contest submission ready, responding to a few "bites" on a few stories I'd submitted, reading some of my CPs chapters, and getting the house in order. Whew! I only have until 1PM, so I hope I can get it all done.

Have a great weekend!
