Preschool

I have already admitted that this summer with my kids turning 3 and 5 was really hard on me. I don't have babies or even toddlers anymore I have two kids. (Big kids according to them) It doesn't matter how old you actually are, when your kids get older it makes you feel OLD!

Today I enrolled Addison in preschool. I waited because I was going through all the reasons I shouldn't sign her up this year...

Preschool for a 3 year old is glorified day care
We are moving
Guhner didn't go until he was 4
Taking Guhner to Kindergarten and her to preschool would leave me driving all day
She is my baby and she can just stay home with me!

Recently (Eric has been telecommuting and traveling back and forth) Addison has developed separation anxiety with me. As bad as to say that when I go upstairs to change out laundry or go downstairs to clean the kitchen and she doesn't know where I am she freaks out and starts crying. Not just crying, sobbing, the first few times she did it I was looking for the blood and a missing body part. Well there was no blood... I think preschool will be really good for her and to help her with her anxiety. She never cries when she goes to nursery at church, she LOVES it and I know she will LOVE preschool.

She will attend 3 days a week for 2 1/2 hours....I don't know what I will do with myself....
Yes I do, I will clean my house in half the time and maybe get caught up on some projects and even some scrap booking! Then I will look forward to spending some time with my kids after school and not take it for granted!

Who needs a finger anyway?!?

So most of you know that on Friday August 24 I decided to make life a little more exciting! I smashed my finger in our suburban door. Yes Eric did the same thing about a month ago. I don't usually think of myself as super competitive but decided to do a better job. I had to have Shannon take me to the new Gilbert emergency hospital on Power and Ray (which is very nice, I highly recommend it) and there I received 4 stitches on my right index finger. (yes I am right handed) I never realized how much I use that use full little finger until it hurt to touch anything including my keyboard to blog.....lets not forget that today and tomorrow we are moving grandma into her new apartment and then finishing the house to put on the market. Hey at least I have my arm, hand, and 4 other fingers that still work. You would be amazed at the things you learn to do with your left hand when forced to. Well only 5 more days until the stitches come out!!! We did take pictures and if I figure it out maybe we will have those posted soon. :)

CALIFORNIA

We are moving to California. Eric took a position with Palm, which we are super excited about. He started last week and they want us relocated to Sunnyvale in 6 months. We will move as soon as we sell our house, which who knows when that will be. There will be a lot of things we will miss in AZ but we are looking forward to so much in CA (especially the weather!)
