The little ones started full out preschool (instead of the 1 hour sessions last week to get them used to going) which was absolutley WONDERFUL!!!! I had 2 hours of "ME" time with NO KIDS. This hasn't happened in 8 years!!!!! I had big plans to go tanning and maybe browse the clearance racks at Kohl's with my lucky 30% off in hand but alas, I donated my time to the never ending PTA cause. It was very nice though to get some things done without the constant preschool potty breaks and hurrying adult conversations along so the kids don't get bored.

So we finally settled on this:
