Today was a bit of a monumental day for me and my toddler daughter. We walked down the street…and picked up an application for preschool next fall. Sigh. Yes, my daughter is finally turning into a kid. I signed her up because she’s gone two weeks in big girl underwear without an accident. And really, she’s SO excited to go to preschool. She tried to bring her Dora backpack just to sign up.

So then we go home and go on with the day. And she has not one, but TWO #2 accidents in her big girl undies. I mean what the heck is going on here? Did she suddenly realize preschool means time away from mommy, and backpedaled into ‘Mommy I need diapers’ syndrome! ? Arrrrgh! But I think she saw the anguish on my face, and has realized mommy is noooooot happy about it. Because she promised not to do it again. Sigh. We’ll see.

I wasn’t sure what else to blog about, but Deanna Lee said I can talk about how awesome she is. (Yes, she said it as a joke) But really, she is. She’s become a bit of a think tank for me. I’ll bounce ideas off her through im, both for real life and book ideas. She helps me plod through perplexing plot points. Oh and the best part. Sometimes, when I’m scared to do something, I tell her to tell me to grow some balls and do it. And every once in awhile, she’ll call me and say ‘get some balls’. It’s great. Wow, that really took up an entire paragraph!

Now. I found this great site that lets you make your own romance novel cover with your pic. You get to pick the tag line, title, and author’s name. So tell me…would you buy my book?

Have a great weekend!

    great cover Shelli. :)

    It’s good to have friends like that, I’ve been amazed at a few new ones I’ve added to my life recently.

    Good luck with preschool. Only my oldest went, but I’m still traumatized and he’s 16 now!! lol

    Preschool is so exciting! Congratulations! Don’t worry, the ‘accidents’ will taper off as time goes by and she’ll be fine at school. I used to fear my son would go to college in pull-ups, but it all worked itself out.
