Thank you, heating coil Gods.......

As I'm sure you've read before, I am not liking the whole "parting with my baby for the day" situation... I really miss her during the day. It's hard to dwell on it when you're busy and trying to make it until 3:00 and dismissal, but the last several days just continue to solidify my feelings... When I'm with my baby, I'm so doggone happy and at peace... My soul just feels so fed and right... She's happy and smiling all the time...and so am I.

However...school still calls...for the next 90 days (no, really, I'm counting...)

We had, potentially, the best week of school...and we didn't even have any snow days... :) Well, I guess we didn't have a week of school...we were supposed to, but well...

Monday and Tuesday were normal days... Unfortunately for Little One, Monday wasn't a good day - lots of crying and just a genuine unhappiness. It was terrible before K left with Mrs. S - crying in the hall until around 9 that morning... She wouldn't eat much that day, and was just very fussy, etc. Tuesday was a little better, but still, she was a little off. I don't know if it was what I ate, after-shocks from the shots...or just another change in schedule to mix her little clock up again...poor baby...

But, I'm happy to say that school went pretty quickly on those days...and while the both nights were filled with a crying baby, at least I was with her...

Wednesday...she woke up super early (5 AM), ate, went right back to sleep...and I had to get her up at 7:15 to get her dressed so we could leave... But, she had a good day! :)
I, on the other hand, was "fumed" out of the school...

On Tuesday afternoon, a strange odor was floating around the 3rd grade hallway... We thought it was due to the changing of the air filters, but that just didn't seem right to me. When we came in on Wednesday, the odor was pretty bad. It was sort of like a chemical play dough smell...and after about 15 minutes, it really got to you. We were evacuated, three times...first outside for 25 minutes (it was like 15 degrees)...then into the gym, then to after school day care when the sheriff's office deemed the school unsafe, and then, we were bused over to the primary school. We ate and hung out with the kids until our early dismissal (which was planned). I was reunited with Baby K there around 12ish, and we were released to leave then (we didn't have to go back to the school on account of the smell other than to get our things and go...) and could also plan on staying home on Thursday due to airing out the rooms at school. So, I had another little mini-vacation here with my sweet girl...LOVED it... :)
On Friday, we had a professional day, so we still arose at the crack of dawn...got ready... As we were unloading the car at school (Baby K was going to hang with me for the day! :)), an announcement came over the speakers outside telling us to go home... Upon entering the building (for my report cards...they go out next week), I could tell that our friendly play dough smell hadn't disappeared...

The culprit...a broken heating coil that has a liquid in it... The liquid leaked, thus causing the terrible smell... And, on Friday morning, they discovered another leak... Seriously, what's the chance...? Yes, another day with my baby girl... :)

And a super long weekend since we have Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Monday, too... Sweet.....too sweet...

And, now, with the very cold temperatures, I'm hoping for some *SNOW* so we can have some snow days, too... :) Maybe after a few days back... :)

But for now, Thank you heating coil Gods... :) May your wrath on WYES continue... :)
