After a semi-shaky start to the new year, things are settling down into our normal routine. Sunshine started back to school this morning. Getting her in bed at 8 was beyond difficult. Keeping her in bed was worse. I knew I should have started getting her up earlier this past week but honestly, I was enjoying sleeping in too much. Bad mommy!
6:30 came early this morning. Luckily she was in a decent mood despite it taking her an hour & a half to fall asleep last night. Sunshine's funny in the mornings--she's either like me when she wakes up (awake, cheery & ready to go) or she's like Hunter (think cranky bear). I was grateful for no cranky bear this morning.
Yesterday we spent a few hours at school working in the PTA closet folding a new order of shirts for the Spirit Store. I designed a new logo for our shirts this year & it's been popular. We went with a girl's version & a boy's version. We ran with it & made a teacher's shirt. And this past month we decided to go with a long sleeve version of the kids shirts & teacher's shirts. They'll roll out on Friday at the store & all board members & their kids will wear them tomorrow. Sunshine is less than thrilled because 1) the shirt is charcoal. Never mind that she has a charcoal shirt & pants. It's "light black, Mommy. I don't wear light black". And 2) there is no pink in the shirt whatsoever. The logo & writing on the back are green & yellow. I may have to pay her a buck to wear it.
This morning has been busy with doing December's Financial Report, writing some checks for Teacher Grants & a bad check letter. I hate the bad check letters. I always feel awkward when I see the people afterward. And I'm afraid that they'll key my car.
Sunshine & I are going to American Girl this weekend in Atlanta with a friend & her mom. I know she received gobs of the stuff for Christmas but she has a gift card from my brother & sister in law & is itching to use it. I'm kicking myself for not buying an extra box of Lake Champlain chocolates while we were home to bring to our Personal Shopper. Now I need to find something to give her. I wonder if she'd like a Koigu KPPPM mermaid cowl that I made last year? Hmmm.
