So despite a really rough start, November is turning out to be a kickass month. ( Cut for a bunch of personal stuff so it won't clog up the friends page... )

So today is the day that my son finally got to attend the preschool that is sucking our bank account dry. $6350.00 this year for three hours a day that's 11 installments of $635.00 a month. Next year when he goes until 2:45 I'll have the pleasure of paying $9090.00 for kindergarten (that's 909.00 a month folks.)
It occurs to me that I could buy a really kickass car for all this money. Luckly this is only for the next two years. I don't think I can face eating mac and cheese for the next 14 years of his life until he goes to college.
It's probably time for me to I find a job. Of course if I do go back to work, that's another $490.00 a month for him to have daycare until 6 at night.
Actually, I was really rather excited for him. Since kids tend to become asshats in gradeschool later, I figured preschool and kindergarden would be a pretty fun experience.
Other kids were freaking out as their parents left. Me? I had to tap him on the head to pull his attention away from the hamster cage to say goodbye. And when I came to pick him up, which kid had the freak out then because he wanted to stay longer? That's right. My kid.
Because that is the kind of awesome mother I am. :P
At least he liked it. I really hope it's worth it.

... and instead of frantically cleaning my pit of a house like I should be this morning (I like to pretend that I actually have a clean house when company comes over), I turned on PBS instead and Bob Ross was on.
Anyone else a Bob Ross fan? I don't know a damn thing about painting, but every time his show is on I sit hypnotized for the entire show and watch him paint happy little trees and clouds. Apparently, it's genetic, because my three year old son watched the whole thing with me today. As cheesy as Bob Ross is, he makes me want to go out, buy a canvas and paint and try to paint along side him.
According to Wikipedia, there was a Bob Ross video game planned, but it got scrapped. That sucks so bad. I would have bought a console just for that.
<3 you Bob Ross.

... and I can't quite believe it. I think the last time I drank enough to get hungover was about four years ago.
For some reason, my husband decided that we needed to drink some wine last night. A glass led to the whole bottle, which led to another bottle, which led to us watching Battlestar Galactica drunk. That part was fun. Waking up to a hangover not so much.
So much for library story time and working out at the Y today.
*facepalm*
I guess we're just getting a head start for the weekend, when Tom and I are flying to a wedding in Washington DC. While I like the groom, the bride is ... ugh. It's going to be a highy swanky affair (the groom works for some DC big shots) and apparently there are a couple of Senators coming. I'm getting the feeling after talking to one of my friends (that is thankfully going to be there) that this is going to be more of a networking event than an actual wedding.
Good times. I think the only thing to do is to find the bar and stay there for the entire reception.
