Has it really been that long?

So, I feel that I am really good at checking my friends Blogs and trying to keep tabs on what is going on. But somehow, I just realized that what I have failed at, is keeping mine updated, OOPS!!!

So, here we go. First of all, the kids are doing great in school. Lauren of course loves it, as she always does. Now, poor Olivia had a rocky start, but she seems to be doing much better. There are less tears and more smiles. In fact, when I picked her up on Tuesday, she came running out, all smiles, so excited to show me the project that she had made. This makes me so happy that I could almost cry. (almost....)

Today I signed up for facebook. I know, first a blog, now facebook. Although that is going to take me a while.  I know nothing about it and so far seem to suck at it. My name reads Hurt Denyse. How the heck did I screw that up. Anyway, if you see my pathetic pleas for friends, please accept me. I promise I will try to figure it all out. And I gladly accept any and all words of wisdom, like what exactly is its purpose?????

Tonight, Shawn and I are going on a date. I am so excited. We are just doing dinner and a movie but it seems like it has been ages since we have taken the time to go out, just us. I thought about inviting some friends to double with us, but I think I will be selfish and keep him all to myself.  

BTW if anyone has ER saved on their DVR, please do not delete it. My DVR got stuck last night and recorded like 15 hours of CBS and deleted everything else on it. UGH!!!!! Thank goodness I was at  a Premier party for Greys (Thanks Stacy) or I would have lost that too. Can you imagine????

Okay-  I promise to try to be better about keeping this updated. And as most of you know my camera died, as soon as I get a new one I will continue to add pics........

School Begins!!!

Both girls started school this week. Lauren started her last year of Pre School. She is in the Pre-K class and so excited. She loves her teachers and loves school in general.

Olivia- well that is a different story. She is in her first year of pre-school. I thought she would love it. Last year she always wanted to stay with her sister at school, so, no brainer, she will love school. Well, instead, she cried. The entire time. I picked her up and the teacher came out and said she cried for 2.5 HOURS. They finally went and pulled Lauren out of class to calm her down. Which apparently worked for a while. UGH!!! Then she kept telling me that she did not want to go back to school. 

She goes twice a week and Lauren goes 4 times. So on Wed, when we were just dropping off Lauren, even though Olivia knew she was not staying and going with me to bible study, she cried as we walked through the halls and passed her class.  The poor thing. Luckily on Thursday, she only cried for about 10-15 minutes and then apparently did better. Although she still says she does not want to go back. I am sure it will get better in time, but I feel for the teachers in the process!!!

Now me, I get 2.5 hours to myself twice a week. YIPPEE!!!!!. So hopefully Olivia will figure this all out, because it is good for all of us LOL!!!
