So beginning my first week… I’ve actually clipped coupons from the money mailer and red plum booklet that I get every week. instead of buying a qubie, I decided to cut down on costs, and make my own, especially since we have plenty of old binders laying around the office at work. I also ordered some trading card sheets for the binder… these are to hold the coupons. The best deal I found was on buy.com — 100 Ultra-Pro sheets for $12.95.

On this journey, I will blog every time I accomplish a task…

Next is registering on the coupon sites like Print Hot Coupons to start collecting. Oh, and also subscribing and getting Sunday papers!

Emory’s daycare tested her over several weeks and concluded that she should move to the next, older classroom filled with three- and four-year olds. Of course I was stoked. Not only does my baby have my smart genes, I thought I’d get the new-class price. I was sadly mistaken that the price is by age, not by class…shucks!

I’ve been meaning to check with her new teacher, especially since this evening when I picked her up she was whining and complaining how she didn’t like Ms. King’s class and how she wanted to go back to Ms. Tiffany’s class. This really bothered me… She went off on a tangent with her complaint… None of which I could understand.

We get home, eat dinner, watch some tv, get ready for bed, paint her toenails… And as she settling in for sleep, she starts reciting the months of the year!

Really? wow… I didn’t know you knew all the months of the year!!!

gee, I’m so proud! this is a milestone for us!!!

I was just thinking that maybe she was rushed to the big kid class and that she may be falling behind, or that it might even be overwhelming for her… I guess it’s something I should keep an eye on, but I’m still excited.

emory locks me out of the house… i guess she couldn’t stop focusing on the bag of peanut m&ms she had in her hand. that’s not what we eat for breakfast… but in asking where her goldfish were, she reached for the candy and said, “right here mommy!”

ummmmm…. how about a big fat no!

so in my haste in trying to get out of the front door to leave for work on time, i locked the door, left it open, and on my way to drop something into the car i said, “emory don’t close the door!”

in her not paying attention to me, what does she do?

CLOSES THE DOOR!

locked out of the house, and late for work yet again!
