Back to school

Do you remember how you felt the first day of school? 

 I was always excited, but really nervous.  Who is my teacher?  Is she nice?  Do I have friends in class with me?
This morning I watched my older children start school. 

Again I had the same feelings.  Who are their teachers? Will they be nice?  Will they take the time to understand my children.  Will my boys make new friends?

I anxiously awaited their return today.  I could not wait to hear about their day. 
Can you guess what response I got?
"It was good."

That's it!  After all that worrying and anxious energy I exerted, all I got what that school was "good" and "can I have a snack?"

Gotta love kids!  Hopefully they will not grow up to be a worry wart like their mom.

How funny! My 2 year old just started school a couple of weeks ago and when I try to ask him how school was or what his favorite thing was...he usually tells me about the snack he ate. Kids! :)

I had a nephew once that ran home crying after his first day of school and didn't want to go back! "It was good" the second year was a blessing :)

I hope the rest of the year continues as well

I remember when my kids were younger and they had their first day of school, I'd be anxiously awaiting their return to hear how it went and I would usually get the "it was good" answer too. I guess that's better than hearing anything else negative, right? hope it is a good school year for them!

I am following you from the Friday Blog Hop. Yes, I still remember the feelings you described when school started each fall.

I now have five grandchildren and it is fun to be a part of all their new beginnings.

Did you ever get anymore info from your children? That is funny!

"Hers-Day" Review and Giveaway!

My little peanut has be screaming since the minute she woke up.  Poor baby is teething and miserable!  I totally get it, but Mommy needs a break. Today I need to take a few minutes for myself, cuz it's gonna be a LOONG day.  So as the "princess" sleeps, I am going to take a scream-free shower. This is what I use to spoil myself a little. I love this stuff!  It has a mild and fresh scent and leaves my skin silky smooth.  It lathers up nicely and is easy to shave with.  I have used this since high school.  Sometimes the smell helps me forget for a few minutes that I am a 30-something with kids (that is until someone knocks at the door to tell on his brother!). For my second giveaway, I would like share Neutrogena Rain Bath with one of my readers. Let's pretend we are back in high school together! :) <a href="http://rafl.es/enable-js">You need javascript enabled to see this giveaway</a&amp...

Review and Giveaway- Sally Hansen Salon Effects

Let's just get this clear.  I have NO talent when it comes to anything cosmetic.  I can't apply eyeshadow, I look stupid in lipstick, and cannot paint my nails without smudging.  So you can believe how excited I was when I found Sally Hansen Salon Effects in my local drugstore. The Salon Effects are essentially stickers, although SH calls then "polish strips". They vary in color, and designs.  Some are basic and others are WILD.  I have tried Wild Child (a zebra-like print) and It Girl (solid pinkish color). For this review, I applied Bling It On to my toes.  You know I must really love you guys to post pictures of my feet!  Each box of Salon Effects comes with 16 Nail Polish Strips (in case you make a mistake), a cuticle stick, and a double sided nail file and buffer. 1. I prepped my toes by filing, shaping, and wiping them with nail polish remover . 2. I took off the clear protective cover and pulled the polish ...
