Today was my 2 yr old's first day away from me for an extended amount of time. She cried as we left the room but proceeded to have fun. she got to paint and play and loves to eat her snacks out of her lunch pail. She made a precious humpty dumpty out of a paper plate then she said "he broke".  I am very proud of her. Her big sister also did great in class.  She has always enjoyed her school and told me all about her sheep that she made.  A very nice day for them after all...I haven't seen the little one pick up a bad habit yet. We'll see... As for what I did to fill my 4 hours, I came home and made hubby breakfast and we relished in eating in peace and quiet, then started to balance our checkbook (didn't finish), then I went to the dentist.  good day for everyone!

I say EEK, because I don't know what I will do with myself. My 2 girls will start school for 2 days out of the week and what will I do for 4 hours without them??? I have scheduled dental appointments but that's no fun.  I think I should take a poll here to find out what you all would do with 8 WHOLE hours to yourself so I can get some ideas...Remember, we are on a $$budget$$ so the sky is NOT the limit..
