First Day

I think Emma was made for kindergarten. She is quite the chirpy wee bird today. She has a fabulous teacher, and as you can see she has lost her first tooth (on that same day she swam to the bottom of the deep end.) Bo is equally happy with his situation and thinks the school is "like, only just about one percentage away from being as good as Hill." Which is saying alot.

I am rather too tired to give a good accounting of my day. Suffice it to say that even though I agree with my dear friend Alison as a general rule that "hair comfort is of the utmost importance, but foot comfort is of no consequence" I must say that 8 hours in heels at an elementary school is pretty much a no. My feet still burn 6 hours later. I'm sporting my new red crocs tommorrow.

Taglets by Linda

What do these two things have in common? These fabulous little items. Getcha some.

I have to say that I have fonder feelings for this layout than I bear for most of mine. I could be the polka dotted lightning bolts. Or that I made it over at Angie's while she told me about CHA. Or maybe just that its of my nephew rocking out.

The Other News

No AC in vehicle + no water in house = bad scene.

The Good News

I got the job.
And the school not only is 3.6 miles away, it is the very school I hoped to get my kids into. I just need to verify with the principal that it is cool for them to come with me (which would normally not even be an issue.) This is a magnet school that doesn't accept transfers.
I mean, really. Thank you Lord.

I am also committing to training for the half marathon. Bill says he's going to match my miles. The good news on this front is that on Monday I ran withDanielle, and I actually ran two of the three miles. That's a jaw dropper folks. I haven't run two miles since college. And then I did it only once.

You know what? It feels good.
