Meet the Teacher...Mike...and Allyse!

Today was meet the Teacher at Frank Elem. Allyse and Jacob have been waiting for this day for about 1 week. Allyse woke up this morning at 7:30am and was already dressed and asked me what time were we going to "Meet the Teacher". Knowing that it wasn't until 2:00 pm today...I knew it was going to be a LONG day! Fortunately some of my neighbors had scheduled a playdate at McDonald's which made the day go by a lot faster then just staying home.

Since Allyse will be going to Kindergarten, Jacob was nice enough to let Allyse meet her teacher first. Allyse's teacher is Mrs. Rozell and Jacob's teachers are Mrs. Barker and Mrs. Raugh! They are so excited to start school on Monday! Which I guess is a good thing...not sure if I am ready though. I already started to tear up on the way from Allyse's classroom to Jacob's classroom. I just know I am going to be a mess on Monday! What will I do with myself? I remember crying the first week when Jacob started Pre-K at SBS. I even cried when I picked him up...next week will be rough for me!

On another note....a little news on Mike......
Two Fridays' ago Mike accepted a new job at Baker Hughes...I know it is in "Global Sales". Don't ask me too many questions I just know he will be in Sales and sometimes it will be Global. LOL! He is very excited about his new position!
Also...this will be Mike's LAST SEMESTER (whoo hooo!) at UofH (University of Houston). He will be graduating on December 18th...Hopefully...hehe! He was accepted into a field study program this semester which gives him 6 credits instead of 3 and he doesn't have to go to class! Which is a huge plus! I think I can hang in there 4 more months...I know it's hard on all of us. The kids really miss spending time with him when he is in school...but hopefully these last 4 months will go by pretty fast! So CONGRATULATIONS Mike! We love you!

One more thing...something Allyse said....
My friend Mica came to visit me this past weekend...Thanks Mica.....to help me celebrate my "30th" birthday. Mica and I were talking in the living room and Allyse joined in. Somehow we got started talking about Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers. So Allyse runs to her room and comes back with her People magazine that featured just the Jonas Brothers (the magazine is fairly old...and it looks it..she reads/looks at it all the time). And I said "Allyse, where did you get that" (I had bought it for her, but hadn't seen it in forever) And she proceeds to say "IN MY PANTIE DRAWER"...Wow wasn't expecting that. I think Mica just about fell out of her chair. Hopefully it is as funny as it was that day. My child is 5...and already keeping magazines in her pantie drawer...I think I should be worried! Hopefully it was just a coincidence!

Good Night!
