So today we went to visit school. It's better late than never! It's their last week this week! I meant to get in earlier than that with Maddy, but just never did. Maddy had such a good time and she was so friendly with everyone. I mean, she gave hugs, answered questions, really did a nice job. I was pleasantly surprised! But then I started to think about it. She spent 9 mo. in this school--sure, it was in my womb, but come on... you know they hear things in there! So I wouldn't be surprised if it was all familiar to her. She was especially drawn to a few people I used to talk with all the time so that does not surprise me. Maddy was especially forward in 'my' old classroom with my kid and coworker. She spoke right up, moved around the room, closed the door behind kids as they came in and out, took a seat and started coloring. It was as if she fit right in and new what to do! The picture of Maddy above is with my 'first girl' who graduates grade school in two days! I can't believe it!!! I mean, I can. I was 23 when I first started working there and now I'm 30 so 7 years HAVE passed by, but it seems like just yesterday that 'little' girl was just 5 years old and now she's going on to middle school. Wowsers. Time waits for no man, I guess!
The trip to and from school could have been less eventful. Honestly, it was pretty miserable both ways. 66 was a mad house this morning at 9 going into DC but I expected that. But I wasn't expecting it would be so bad on the way home! Add in we have a high of 97 today and my air didn't want to work very well--poor Maddy was as red as a beet and all sweaty by the time we got home. Not to mention tired too, since she was up at 5:30 today after going to bed late last night. Needless to say, she went down about 1/2 hour early for her nap.
I'm tired too though. So I've just been sitting doing nothing for her nap and it feels darn good, I tell ya! But... I guess I should be productive, so I'm off. Have a good rest of the day, everyone.
I hope all the Wisconsinites I know have extracted themselves and their houses from all the water damage! Crazy stuff up there!
Tea of the day: Chai spice and sugared plum back sun tea, have more brewing on the deck.
