And we're off.

Travis and I are going to a school board conference in Chicago for the weekend, so I won't be posting for several days.
-Regarding my previous entry about Parker and the game. I saw a quote that said, "Honesty is the first page in the book of wisdom." I thought it fit particularly well.
-I am bringing everything article of clothing that I own to Chicago because I have no idea what to wear.
-I'm going to miss Parker and Jack like crazy.
-Is it strange that I feel no need at all to get away from my kids? A few hours at a time is all the break I need.
- I wanted to get my nails done for the weekend but I really didn't have the time or the money to go to the nail salon so I bought the updated version of Lee press-on nails except these are glue-on. They have made much improvement over the past 20 years. LOVE 'EM! I will report next week whether they actually stay on.
-Parker is fascinated by the nails and Jack is a little scared. Seriously.
-I didn't get Parker's kindergarten picture retaken because I decided that school pictures--especially kindergarten pictures are not meant to be perfect. They aren't portraits, they are school pictures. Part of their charm is their imperfection. That being said, if they had happened to turn out well, I would be thrilled. My lesson is to order a small package in the future and order more if they turn out. Live and learn.
-Better go get ready.
