Oh. Sadness Snap.

I was moving right along today.

In fact? Despite my mind-numbing cramps that serve only to remind me of personal EPIC FAIL when it comes to fertility? I was having an okay day.

To wit:

1) I kicked the gym's butt after work. Six ways of Sunday, even.
2) I got my new contact lens and can finally pass my employment physical (since, before, I was not street-legal. But don't tell the police, okay?).
3) I got two good pieces of financial news.
4) And! AND! I got to use the words, "rode hard and put up wet" conversationally.

I mean, can you top that day? I think you probably can't.

Then? The children said, "Mom, we have some papers for you!" and what did they hand me?

Registration forms.

For middle school.














CUE OMINOUS MUSIC.

Yep. I feel ya. (well, you know what I mean)

We just toured Caroline's new school today -- Kindergarten will rock. . . but at the same time, E-man will begin high school next year. And, I'm not sure I can do both transitions in one year.

You'll be fine. BC & GC are amazing!! And you're gonna kick butt as a middle school mom!

It's not so bad...I think leaving elementary is far harder than entering junior high. Or middle school as you say.

"rode hard and put up wet"

How can it NOT be a good day when you can use that phrase?

That's one of my favorite phrases to toss into conversation!

GOOD JOB!
