This morning after I gave the kids their breakfast, we tore down the #4 Mickey head from our countdown. Wow, 3 more days!! Maddie started jumping around yelling "Three more days, three more days!!!" I guess it's finally setting in with them. Funny, I've been excited since I plopped down the deposit.
I made my final pilgrimage to Target last night. I think I've purchased everything I could/would possibly/probably need. No more! I'm done. I've made my list, checked it twice and I'm ready to rock baby!
All I have left is laundry, the 2 birthday parties today, drain the pool, go to the bank and take care of a few girlie issues. So, not too much left.
Thursday night I was trying on clothes for the party tonight and decided to try on the yoga pants/sweatshirt thing TE bought me for my birthday. OMG! The pants didn't fit. They were soooo big and saggy in the butt and thighs. I can't possibly wear this. Crap! She bought this outfit in late May. There's no way Macy's is still going to have those pants. Well, I went to one Macy's and sure enough, they no longer carried that line. Bummer. I headed over to Sephora for some hair products and then left the mall, feeling a little defeated. Evan is not a shopper, he totally hates it! As I was strolling him toward the exit, he kept saying "No more clothes, Mama! Let's boogie, baby!" "No more Kohl's no more Macy's!!!" I couldn't help but laugh.
Around 4pm I couldn't stand it, I zoomed over to another Macy's and sure enough, they had the pants and in my new size! Score baby!
I still hadn't heard about Maddie's transfer permit. So I headed over to the District Office only to be told they still had no information, but assured me that should it be approved whilst we were gone, we would not forfeit her spot and could take care of all the paperwork when we returned. Maddie and I left and I thought we should stop at the school and see what was up. I was walking in there with a HUGE attitude, only because I've been calling and they haven't called me back and I'm tired of the run around. Well, apparently, the school's office is being remodeled so the office employees are trying to get permits cleared and organize the office as soon as possible. I can sympathize with that, so I dropped the attitude. Anyway, the office lady was super nice and did admit they were way behind and that she could not tell me anything until Tuesday. Tuesday? Tuesday was her best offer.
I told her we would be leaving for 10 days starting on Tuesday. She asked where we were going, so Maddie told her "Disney World!!". Well, that did it. The lady was so excited to hear that, she told us that was her life dream to go to Disney World. She leaned in close and told me "I'm going to do something for you, that I shouldn't do and I want you to understand that I'm not giving you false hope. This could come back and get me in trouble, so promise it's just between you and me." Of course I promised, pinkie promised even.
Well, she gave me the paperwork to fill out so that
IF Maddie's permit was approved, we'd be ready for enrollment.
She also gave me a tip to put PM class requested and that Dewey is her cousin, as she would have a better chance of getting in. The working mom's really need the AM classes so they can just drop the kid off at school and then the kids goes to daycare until the parents get out of work. Hey, I'm all about helping the working moms out.
So, Mrs. Pat told me to call her on Tuesday and she'd have an answer for me. I thanked her profusely and as we were heading out, we met the new principal. I thought he was the UPS man!
He had on brown from head to toe and was very young. But he was introduced as Dr. something. He was super nice and looked just as excited as Maddie. So that's a good sign, yes?
Let's see what kind of drama tomorrow brings...........
78 more hours to go!!!!
So much to do, so little time! Just kiddin', I'm high on adrenaline right now. Look at me, it's 11:29 p.m. and I have to get up at 4:00 a.m. yet I still had to come over here to see what you've been up to today.
)
I checked my list last night. I have about 20 more things to pack. You know things that can't be packed until the last minute. 
I have been reading along, trying to stay current. Have a most magical vacay! 
So, no new black capris for me......
THREE MORE DAYS!!!!!!!
magical trip before heading down. 
Let's see.... tomorrow is drain the pool and laundry day. 
Blah!
