- like a brick wall

Vacation came and went and we had a great time.  I'll post some pics under the password section later on.  Took the girls to lunch at the local Japanese steakhouse on Tuesday and for a little shopping.  We went to Kohl's where Lu got some leggings (BOGO sale - yay) and got Lib an awesome pair of jeans.  Lib thought the Bongo jeans she was getting from the JUNIORS department totally rocked until she heard me say I used to wear Bongo in school (twenty something years ago, LOL).  After some prodding, she was convinced they still rocked and she was still excited about having her jeans from the JUNIORS dept.

Wednesday brought the first day of school for both girls and I was still on vacation so I could take them to school.  Lib was bouncing off the walls with excitement over being in "middle school" and Lu Lu was excited to be in the class of the teacher she really, really wanted.  Lib was in la - la land when I dropped her off as evidenced by the fact that she left the car door standing wide open.  First day of school was a success for both girls and Lib was really pumped that she has ALL Pre-AP classes.  Not sure a lot of kids would be pumped about that but she is, so yay!  LOL  She's a smart girl and she will do great.

Then today took me to first my day back to work.  I hated, hated leaving the girls still getting ready for school, worrying their hair would be a mess and that they would forget something.  But I headed on in to work.  An hour and a half later I finally arrived at work after hitting a wall of traffic which is really unusual for 6:35 in the morning.  So, a five car pile-up was my welcome mat back to work today.  The carpet continued to be rolled out with some added stress and pretty soon I hit a brick wall.  

Never, have I ever been so glad to be home to my hubs and kids as I was today.  After all, what's here in this house...my family....is all that truly matters.
