Wednesday was...

...the day 30 preschool students visited our school to transition into kindergarten. Their visit was scheduled to be 30 minutes. When they arrived we were told they were staying for 90!

...a long day on a normally short day. Usually, we leave at 12:45, but instead our dismissal time was pushed to 1:55.

...a day without specials.

...finding out my kids had been exposed to Whooping Cough.

...a call to the doctor to find out what that means for my under 5s that are not fully immunized.

...more than an hour wait for a call back from the nurse on duty.

...a yummy Oreo cake at lunch.

...four parent-teacher conferences...with the students that are really struggling this year. One conference lasted more than an hour.

...a grumpy babysitter when I showed up an hour late (see above!)

...kids arguing the entire 10 minute ride home...thank goodness the ride is not 40+ minutes like last year!

...take and bake pizza from my favorite pizza joint. One of the many benefits of having moved home.

...homemade brownies.

...a pot of tulips.

...laundry all over the living room.

...a call from a long ago friend. Someone that I miss and was so surprised and happy to hear from!

...no call from the friend that has always mattered the most.

...money from the piggy banks...that I had to give back once I was done looking at it. :)

...$5 from the PTO to the ice cream store across from our school. YUM! Well...maybe when My Princess in Training can remember where she put it.

...an apple necklace for his favorite teacher

...finding out that my kids were actually exposed to RSV.

...a nifty machine to clean my rings.

...listening to Sugar and Spice cough all night and wondering if he was a lot sick or only a little sick.

...my happy birthday.

Thursday though...was dismissal at 11:40! Still no specials...and no recess...but also no conferences. Two cute necklaces from Target...delicious dinner with mom...a brand new birthday dress...and a beautiful butterfly necklace...

Thank goodness next year my birthday falls on Thursday. I don't think I could take another Wednesday.
