Date night
Tonight, the boy and I invited my parents to join us on our date....he was really excited about this, which makes me happy and it was nice to get out together.
We took a little ride in the rain to check out a new, very large shopping center in Coventry, RI. It wasn't bad driving, but I of course, managed to mess up the directions....I am so bad with new places....but we got there eventually and enjoyed doing some shopping.
We dined at Denny's, it was actually a cute one, verrrrry retro. We grabbed the circular booth by the window, DJ loved it and was really impressed that they serve breakfast 24/7. He and Grandma had breakfast while me and Gramps had turkey clubs (no tomatoes on mine).....big stretch for me, huh?!
Good times!!!!

Our morning
So it went pretty smooth, we got to the school and the kids went into a classroom with a group of teachers and specialists, they were encouraged to play and participate in activities as they were observed.The parents and siblings went across the hall and filled out paperwork as the teacher went over the program with us.....pretty painless.
Avery did great, had no problem joining the kids and was fine with me leaving her, Emmy was a little concerned and kept asking where "sissy" was, but no meltdowns from my girls.
One little guy was screaming for his Mom and they brought him to her..... poor guy was so red, gooey and puffy from screaming, the Mom was mortified, but it happens. The director was great about it and reassured the Mom that most kids will go through an adjustment period when they start in September.
Surprisingly, I saw a couple of people that I know, I even saw the director of the preschool that Avery went to for a short time, so it must be as great as I have heard!
They will do the lottery at the end of March and we will know by the time that April vacation rolls around, whether Avery will be attending in September.
There are 60 openings available and 95 kids were at the screening, so wish us luck that it works out!

RV Show
DJ and I have a standing date every Friday night, just me and him. We do different things, but I let him choose where we go.....Borders and dinner is a favorite choice.
Its a nice way to have time together without the little girls, he was an only child for 10 years before Avery was born, so he really likes to have my undivided attention and I like to have time with him too.
This past Friday we hit the town and went to the RV Show in Providence. DJ has a real passion for these things and trust me, he knows his stuff! So, we checked out the many, many makes and models of RVs at the show, he educated me on them and we took pictures.....I'm not sure if the sales guys realized that a 13 year old boy would prefer RVs to Monster Trucks, but it was all good!
We had fun.....but I am relived that this particular show only comes around twice a year because DJ loved it so much that he had his Dad take him again on Sunday!

The consensus is in
After 1 week, I took the hair extensions out.
They looked cute, but were annoying to me.
It feels good to get them out and I only had them in the sides, I do not know how people wear a full head for months at a time.
back to short.....
Pretty ink
I added another tattoo to my small collection, now I have 5.I had the idea of a guardian angel, so I scoured the Internet to find the image that I had in my head. I couldn't find the exact one, but I did find an angel that I liked and tweaked the image to my taste, adding movement and texture.
Jay (tattoo artist) cleaned it up and made her a beautiful permanent piece on the back of my arm (above my elbow)....I love it.
Check it out here.
Shannon and I went together and she put a pretty tribal heart on her wrist, it is black with pink shading, so pretty!! Its so funny because you would never think that Shannon would want a tattoo, but she has 3 and I know that she will add more!
Check it out here.
I am not done and will add to this particular piece, I know what I want to do, just have to wait for my angel to heal (and get together some money).....I'll post as I add on to it!
