I think I'm gonna need some chocolate to get me through this.

There's going to be some extra moisture around these parts and flooding is quite possible. No, I'm not referring to Hurricane Fay, but I am referring to a hurricane. MY little hurricane. I think I am a certified lunatic.

I have been SO excited for Hayley to begin preschool. I have WONDERFUL memories of preschool. To this day I can tell you that David and Matthew were my two best friends and we played Dukes of Hazzard nearly every day. I fondly remember the school administrator, Mrs. Christianson, who used to call me her little sunshine. I can remember the best tasting peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that the lunch lady used to make for all of us. I can remember all the fun crafts and activities that I so loved to do, especially finger painting with pudding. I remember being chosen to play Goldilocks in our preschool play Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Obviously, my acting career did not go any further.

It's not easy to find preschools here for children that are two, but it's all these great memories that I have from my preschool days that have encouraged me to do all I can to find a place that I feel Hayley can have some of the same experiences. My social butterfly NEEDS to be around other kids. She loves to learn and she needs to be stimulated. While preschool is intended to be just for Hayley right now, Todd also needs some one on one time with just his Mommy.

I've had Hayley on the Sprouts waiting list since before she could walk. I love the school, she seems completely comfortable there and I've heard nothing but great things from other parents. In fact, I've really been looking forward to having a couple hours twice a week to just bond with my little boy. So why is it that for the past three days I've been in tears just thinking about dropping my little doll off for school on Thursday?
