We went to the salon this morning. I have my eyebrows ripped out. They are shapely once again. I made an appointment for next Wednesday to get my hair coloured and cut. I am a few inches worth of root overdue, and I need to have about an inch cut off. I have split ends! Quelle horeur! I’ve never had split ends. Of course, I’ve never had my hair this long, so maybe I’ve just never noticed? Of course we’re going red, big bold beautiful red, with the black lowlights, and the copper highlights.

Rushed over to the boys school to see who their teachers are this year. Malachai has Mrs. Mitchell, which I was hoping for. Dorian had her last year, and I think she’ll be perfect for M this year. I let her know M&W are going to be long days for him. Not anticipating a problem, but just letting her in in case it is. Hot-footed it over to the other new building to meet Dorian’s teacher, Mrs. Vassal. She’s a cute little thing! I am not used to be taller than anyone, but I was. She is very structured, communicates in the homework book (fabulous for me) and was on the ball! I think Dor will do great in her class. I let her know M&W will be long days as well (by association) but I am going to try and arrange to have a sitter so D isn’t out so late. Again, not anticipating a problem, but mentioning it just in case. Stopped in to see Dr. O about the aid for next year. It’s not sounding good. She said they might get one aid to share between the kids who applied, and Mal might get an hour a day with him/her. Well, it’s better than nothing, right? I mentioned he has PT/OT/ST twice a week and we did get hours after school. She said I am just like mom, whether I want to be or not *laughs* We were approved for free breakfast/lunch this year, so that’s good. The boys prefer getting hot lunch to packing a cold one, and it’s 4/5 times a healthy, well rounded meal. I’m really excited about school this year, can you tell?

Grabbed some lunch, and now we’re home! Shop may or may not be closing early tonight, so we might be hitting the expo tonight instead of tomorrow night. I guess it depends on when they close.

I pick the boys up at five today from camp. I need to decide if I am picking up a cake or not… we are celebrating on Sunday, so I figured we’d get a cake and do presents then, but I wanted to give him the MP3 player tonight. I love making birthdays special, but everyone schedules make it hard to do it on the day of the birthday, you know? Maybe I’ll order pizza tonight as a special treat. We’ll see.

Oh, I almost forgot. I had the weirdest dream this morning! First I was dreaming I was following Michael in the car, and he turned, and then I turned, but I turned wrong and got stopped and given a ticket. I kind of woke up from that, and fell back to sleep. Then I dreamed we were at the house, and I get a call that DCF is coming in a half hour! I freak out that we need to clean up, put the clothes away, etc.. The house in my dream was a sty, it was awful and I was freaking out that they were going to take the twins away and the kids and next thing I know Michael was rubbing my  back (IRL) and I mumbled the dream to him and thanked him for waking me up. Then I dozed back off and fell back into the dream, still rushing around trying to clean up a house that seemed familiar, but wasn’t really anyplace that could exist in the real world.
