Worst Part of the Day - Rain, rain and more rain. The skies of Charlotte have been grey since about the New Year. I, on accident, turfed my next door neighbors side lawn. A long driveway and a long car are not a good combination for this depth perception challenged gal. And these people are super sweet and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their lawn (they have people come to work on it twice a week and are constantly picking and pruning and maintaining it). Shite - must be more careful when backing up five times per day.

Best Part of the Day - Oh preschool! Thank GOD you are back. I dropped off Wes (in tears) and Quinn (in happy smiles) and did some stress free grocery shopping and returns at the mall. When I picked up Wes, his teachers said they had never seen him happier at school - good for me, good for them. It all works out in the end, no?

NOTE - Last week we had left Quinn's softie at Chris and Ann's house. So (in an impulse move as Quinn was not hysterical, simply sad) I opened up the replacement, just in case, brand new softie. Well then old softie was found and returned to us. So we had two softies. Erik said "we'd better put one away." And I said "oh it doesn't matter. How is he going to lose two?" And Erik said "he'll hide them together." (He loves to hide softies and then forget.) One day later ... softies are MIA. We both look EVERYWHERE for them (Erik mostly looking with a smirky, I TOLD YOU SO look about him. And not just a look, there were some "I told you so's" said as well. ) Finally today as we are about to leave for preschool, I found them. But I waited until he got home, right before his nap to reveal them (they were tucked back in some magazines in a cupboard). "Two Softs" is now his favorite thing to say as he gazes lovingly at his pals. And no, I've not taken one away. I think I know all the hiding places now.
