Hooray!!!!!!!
While it was technically her first day of Pre-K, we didn't take pictures. The school year officially starts next Monday and her uniform shirts will be here tomorrow. So we will take pictures next Monday :) YAY!
She did good today...apparently I sent her with some "contraband". I wasn't supposed to send her with a backpack. Ok. Check. And...chocolate is a no-no. Ok, so I put a chocolate pudding cup in her lunch. It was fat free. They only accept sugar-free...and only at snack time. Strange. Sending her with vanilla pudding tomorrow...we shall see....
Kasey was an absolute mess today. He was freaking out! Just screaming like we had abandoned Katie in the middle of a scary forest in the middle of the night with no flashlight...or something. We had to head down to base to hit the commissary so we stopped at Starbucks on the way and grabbed a latte and a muffin. Well, I grabbed Kasey an organic chocolate milk...no lattes for him just yet!
We stopped by to say hi to Brian and brought him some yogurt for a late breakfast. Kasey cheered up when we saw daddy and was no longer in despair over Katie.
It sure was quiet around here today. I got a lot done at work! WOO! I actually got my inbox down to less than 100 messages! That hasn't happened in months (unless you count the .pst files I created). Yay.
So....we had our quarterly org call today. And I did end up winning an award! Yay me! My manager went on and on about a project that I had worked on and I just know that I was beat red. It's a good thing this wasn't in a room with a bunch of people!! My manager's manager's manager (I have 8 different bosses - Peter Gibbons, Office Space) complimented me on my willingness to do what it takes and go above and beyond. Nice! It's just a foot in the door that's all...one toe at a time (Motormouth Maybelle - Hairspray).
So that was nice :) And he used the 1st picture in the last post. I got a few compliments on that one. hehe. People are funny.
