Bug's first sleepover...

So, Bug had his very first sleepover...at R's house. R's Mom picked him up from another party we were at and off they went. It was so SAD!!! H was laughing and making fun of me, "Are you going to be alright Mom?" It was like watching him go off to college for goodness sake. He's NEVER slept without me nearby. I know, I know...but still. It was really hard.

When I got home, I bathed, dressed and tucked in the twins and when I left their room I walked into Bug's room like I always do and stopped...his bed was empty and his B was GONE!!! OMG...I just about cried.

I called him at 8 to see how it was going - his normal bedtime is 7:30 so I was hoping he was on his way to lights out...NOPE, they were going to watch a movie. Uh, it's 8 and he needs 11 hours to function - this is what I'm thinking. "Well, I miss you." Bug's response "Yep, can I go now?" I retort "I LOVE YOU, I MISS YOU." "I'll see you tomorrow." Click and dial tone...UHG. I tell Daddy that he's fine and we go to bed too.

So, this morning at 10:15 he returned. I was so THRILLED! I wanted to hear all about his big night away from home. Unfortuantly, what was returned to me was a little boy who had less than 4 hours of sleep and was a mess - I got 1 word answers and "I'm going to my room to unpack my stuff and play my new DS game that R's Mom bought me." It was like a 16 year old was talking to me. I asked him to take a shower while he was up there and the tears started flowin'.

I left to go shopping with H for a few hours and evidentally, while I was away, Bug took a nap on the couch...

Oh yeah, he's still my little Bug.

I'm almost done with school - Whoo Hoo

I registered for my last 2 classes at Nazareth and I didn't forget to request a deferment form from Tuition reimbersement this time. Yes, a masters student and after 11 classes I FINALLY have the process down! Penny at Xerox Tuition Aide is very proud of me! She's says that she'll miss me - she's learned over the last 3 years how to do every work around imaginable to process my paper work - that's what I'm here for!

I started at Nazareth in Fall 2006 taking Quality Management. I WAS SO SCARED! Dr Morano still remembers me sitting in the room, 1/2 hour early, with a deer in the headlight look. "You must be new..." I shook my head yes. "Dean Zappia has told me all about you...". I reply, "He did, really - what did he say?" Dr. Morano laughs and says "I'm kidding, I have no idea who you are..." That was day one. There were improvements along the way - well not with Xerox process and paperwork but with school. I have a ton of new friends, young and old - well, mature I should say! I have new friends in every major corporation in the Rochester area, not for profit and for profit corporations and some of the tiniest little manufaturing plants you've never heard of that do some amazing R&D work in the area.
