Seriously?

So I know that I am getting older and I know that I have the weakest, smallest bladder in the world.....doesn't help that I have had four pregnancies.....BUT for the love can I not go the entire night without getting up to go to the bathroom!!! It is 4 am, that's right 4 in the morning and I am awake as can be for two reasons.
1. As stated above I had to get up at about 3:30 to use the bathroom. Tried to go back to sleep, not happening. You know how when you wake up in the middle of the night and if you lay there to long you start to get really, REALLY hungry?!? Makes me so mad! Hence the bowl of cereal in front of me.
2. Do you ever know that you have to be a wake by a certain time, earlier than normal, so you wake up every few hours because you are sure that your alarm is not going to work right and you will be totally late? This happens to me pretty much every time I have to be somewhere early. I don't know if it is the Darrington-can't be late in me or what but it really bugs!

The silver lining in all of this rambling is that the reason I have to be up early is for Linder, my wonderful mother-in-law and Ashley, one of my best sisters-in-law, are coming to get me at 5:30 to fly off to sunny San Diego!! We are going to see Kaycie, yet another one of my favorite people, for the weekend. At least I can sleep in tomorrow and the next day oh and the next!! Yeah!!
So while I am not enjoying being awake so early, I will defiantly be enjoying myself this weekend!

Preschool Begins

Holy cow I can not believe that Maycie is big enough to start preschool!! She has been so excited all summer long to start school-be big just like her sisters. It was a little crazy to me to have my baby leaving me for 2 hours....all by herself! She had fabulous time. She loved singing songs, drawing pictures, making a necklace and reading books. She was very brave, not one tear shed(not that I thought there would be...by her anyway...maybe me).

Although Lexi was a touch put out that Maycie started school on tuesday and she had to wait until Wedensday she was thrilled to finally be there! She was so excited to meet new friends and play with some old ones. Her good friend Keaton is in her class again this year. YEAH...it is always easier with a familiar face. She had a great time making a little girl, reading books, coloring me a picture and playing with toys! She loves school and is always so excited to learn. After we got home the first thing she wanted to do was her homework! Is it to much to ask if that attitude about homework could stick around forever?!?
