Yesterday was my baby girl’s first day of Kindergarten. Thank you, thank you, no applause necessary Yes – I made it through without her seeing me cry (that was saved for all of my co-workers), running after the bus or calling her school more than once.

Ok – I had to put a box of Benadryl in her bag for the school nurse because of her peanut allergy and just wanted to check to make sure it got there, all right?

She of course did great – she loves her orange locker that has a green frog with her name on it – no one else has a green frog you know. She didn’t like the bus ride so much because they have to sit the little ones three to a seat due to the number of kids riding this bus – so the apparently ginormous boy – most likely in college she thinks – with the even bigger backpack – was squishing her little friend in the seat who was then squishing her. Hopefully he won’t want to eat as much today so his lunch won’t be so big that it makes his backpack the size of the hoover dam.

And then, there was the vomit. Not hers thank goodness – but some poor other little kid who was crying for his mommy and got off the bus at school, walked over to the wall of the building and proceeded to throw up. A LOT. She looked like she felt sorry for him a little and said he had to go to the nurse and probably the “hostaple”.

All in all quite the exciting day for her. She loves the after-school program that has a big box of barbie’s and the one with the little momma dog and the baby dog that get all dirty with mud and the momma dog has to give the baby dog a shower… but they didn’t open that one up yet.

Bastards! How could they not open up the shower dog barbie? I must get on the phone with them this instant to see about this heinous breach of kindergarten etiquette. 

My life as it stands today?Proud momma of the best damn kindergartner in the world.
