"... so I vacuumed his head."

Today when I picked up my kiddo from daycare some stupid kid had thrown sand all in his hair...if you've ever seen my kid you would know how much that sucks. His hair is pretty long. It was too early in the afternoon to give him a bath and wash his hair and put it back up and we had something to do so I opted to vacuum his head instead. Before you start thinking "child abuse" know that I used an attachment; I didn't actually run his head over with the vacuum cleaner. 😝

Speaking of my kid - he starts school next Thursday. Orientation was last night and I cried. Three or four times. I'm really excited, but at the same time it's like I'm losing my baby. And I feel overwhelmed at the thought of it all. It's going to be a big change for the both of us, but he's really excited too so I'm sure we'll survive. I just can't believe he's old enough to go. Damn. 😕

But on the bright side I have the lovely Nick backing me. He was at orientation with us and he seemed really happy / excited, as well. He always makes me feel better. I really appreciate all of the support he gives us - he's one of those friends who's there - and I don't know what I'd do without him. Hey, Nick, if you're reading this (which you had better be since it's your fault I'm here) I appreciate you and you were really super-sweet the day of orientation. That really meant a lot; thanks again. 😊

***** A word from the wise (and by wise - I mean me):   Most people don't hear that they are appreciated nearly enough. That's something you should make a point to tell the important people in your life once in a while. It makes a difference. I'm for real. And I'm done. Later, cupcake.
