I did it!

I woke up proud of myself that I overcame every obstacle this week and was able to get Kaity to school. It's Friday and I am preparing for yet another stressful morning of rushing out the door, but...it's FRIDAY!! That means, I'm working on getting her there 5 days this week. That's every day! You have no idea what a huge accomplishment that is for me. Between the weather, the occasional overtired and slightly cranky baby, the determined to be difficult for the sole purpose of being difficult three year old, and my exhausted self, Kaity has missed about a day a week of school. So this is BIG! LET ME PAT MYSELF ON THE BACK IF YOU WILL.

So I get up, shower, bathe the girls (if it weren't for their crazy hair, we would bathe at night) dress the girls, and out of the corner of my eye I noticed something passing the window. As I turned my head, I saw snowflakes as big as feathers...like a pillow fight gone wrong...or perfectly??? You could not imagine my disappointment. I felt defeated. I was proud only to find out minutes before we had to leave that she was going to miss yet another day. Thoughts of the 20 minute walk, soaked pants, and a whining toddler started to overwhelm me. Going out is such a chore! My mind quickly filled with thoughts of negativity.

Then, I decided I was not going to let the weather defeat me! We dreaded the cold, wet snowflakes and got her to school! It was not without complaint and I arrived home soaked up past my ankles, and Maddy cried the entire way home (she hates the stroller) but I did it! We did it.

I hate when she misses school. She LOVES school. She's doing so well. I can't believe how fast she started learning. I tried teaching her but couldn't get more than a few letters to sink in. After a few weeks of school, she was spelling and writing her own name! Look at this picture she bought home. She's so happy.


She even signed it, (the picture cut it off). ha! And I've now framed it.
