So, Emma hasn't been to school since NOVEMBER. It's just pre-school, nobody call social services... Here's why... in November, we all had some sort of nasty flu/cold/SOMETHING.. then as soon as we were almost over that, it was time for Emma and Noah both to go to the doctor for their check-ups, where they got shots. You may remember that Emma got FIVE shots and a flu mist. One of those shots was for the swine flu. So, after she and Noah had just been sick, having all those shots made her sick again. She wasn't really bad, just not a hundred percent. And my personal view on pre-school is... I'm home, it's not mandatory, so if she's not a hundred percent, she's staying home with me.
Then Tony was home the whole time in December that school was in and I didn't send her, because she hadn't seen him in seven months, so I figured it was more important for her to be around to visit with him than to be in pre-school.
THEN, we had that nasty cold that started right before New Year's and honestly, we're still not 100%, but she's close enough to go back to school, because she really missed it.
So, this morning we had to be up at 7:30. Oh. My. Gosh. I am just not wired for early mornings. It hurts to get up that early. Literally. Hurts. My body just does not want to do it! I am wired to stay up half the night and sleep until... let's just say.... noon. Noon is good for me. However, I really love Regis and Kelly and I LOVE, LOVE The View, so I don't mind being up in the morning once I am up. I just REALLY hate anything before 9am.
So, this morning was difficult. However, I did go back to sleep with Noah when he took his morning nap, so I did get more sleep, but still. 7:30? That is just a ridiculous time of day to get up, in my opinion. ;)
And Emma is so comical. She doesn't want to get up either, but she wants to go to school, so she'll slide the bottom half of her body off the bed, while keeping her eyes closed, so I can dress her while she still sleeps and then just the suggestion of brushing her hair and teeth makes her break into tears most mornings. She's a night owl like her mama. :)

7:30 IS too early to wake up! I agree!!
I have one kid who wakes up at 6:45 Every. Single. Day.... no matter what time she goes to bed....
My other kid likes sleeping till past 9. She's my favorite.... lol.
(and I've NEVER sent any of my kids to pre-school, and they've turned out okay..... so far....
It's okay that Emma has missed a few days.... :) )
darn it... I hate when I make comments in my husband's name... hehe.
Ummm, WTC!!! Don't actually admitt to me that you sleep until noon. We can't be friends anymore!
Just another way we're soul mates! This whole get-up-and-face-the-day thing just kills me. We got up so late over Christmas, it was heavenly! Just think, when you're getting up at your 7:30, it was only 5:30 for me and I was still snoring away! :) heh, heh
LOL...remember when we sold my truck right before I came over here and you had to get up and drop me off? I was lucky if you even looked at me much less said a word! hahaa...no, you are definately NOT a morning person. That is so funny what she does. (hanging half off the bed:) )
