I'm sorry your life turned out so hard, Eugene.

Today was Kara's first day of pre-school. She's been excited about it all week. I didn't think she was going to be able to go to sleep last night with all that jumping and squealing she was doing. She popped up out of bed this morning with bright eyes about going to school. We got to the school around 7:45am. Since it was the first day, everyone had to meet up and split the kids into classes. Kara was into everything there. Asking fifty questions about where the books were, where was the class, are there swings... You name it, and she asked it. She was very outgoing. When we finally got to her class, all the other kids were standing around with their parents. Not mine. She was rambling. When the parents were leaving, there were several crying kids. Not mine. She gave me a kiss and told me bye-bye. I left. I came home and had 3 hours and 30 minutes to do whatever I wanted. I got laundry done, dishes washed, house partially cleaned and even played about 30 minutes of WoW. By this time, I was ready for Kara to come home. I could pick her up at 11:30am. I left early. Very early. I spent extra time riding around so I wouldn't look like the 'eager' parent picking up a kid. I walked up the class door to get her. What did I see? A whole bunch of happy, smiling kids. Except mine. She had snot and tears everywhere. Her face was beet red and swollen from crying. Her teacher said she did really well all morning until it was time to get ready to go home. Kara was scared her Mommy wouldn't come get her. That made me feel good and bad at the same time. Good because it means my kid really does like me and bad because my kid thinks I'd forget about her.I have GOT to make a mental note to never be late to pick her up. She may have a breakdown.

Up and at 'em!	Out the door!

Today was the 4th day of school. The first day, she was good but cried at the last part of class because she thought I wasn't going to get her. The second day was a lot better. She cried a little when I left but was super happy when I picked her up. Some time in between dropping her off and picking her up, she got in trouble a few times. She climbed on the table and wouldn't help pick the toys up. I asked her why she didn't help and she told me she didn't have to pick them up because everyone else did it for her. Then there was the weekend.. A snotty nose weekend. A weekend of her telling me she didn't need to go to school anymore because she doesn't want to learn but also a weekend of her telling me how much fun it was. Then Monday came. Oh God Monday. She was just fine all the way to school but as soon as we walked in the classroom door, she hit the floor. Screaming and crying and finally puking on herself. It splattered on her shoes and all on the floor. I'm glad she refused breakfast. It was HORRILBE. I finally just had to leave her crying. I could hear her screaming while I was in the parking lot. "I DIDN'T TELL MOMMY BYE!!" over and over and over. I didn't go back in - I knew that would make it worse. When I later picked her up, she was smiling and happy and didn't get in trouble any. It blew my mind. So today I thought it was would better. It wasn't. We walked in the class and went straight to the trash can so she could puke again. and no, she's not sick. She can vomit on command and has done it since she was about a year old. She didn't cry as loud today and was barely crying when I left her. There was a sweet little girl that came up and asked her if she was alright. Kara didn't even answer her. She does have a friend though and that surprised me too. I mean, would you be friends with someone that made you pick up their mess? Oh wait! That's called marriage. That's all. Here's to hoping I pick up a happy kid today.

School Day 3	School Day 4

There was this little Captured Firefly that I've been wanting for a very long time now. I tried farming him before but found out a few days ago I was farming the wrong bug. I was killing Bleeders when I should have been on Needlers. No big deal. Today is day 5 of farming. I killed 1087 Marshlight Needlers over the course of about 8-10 hours and finally got him. (My Mi2 count says 1047 because I already killed 40 of them before remembering to turn kill count on.) Anyway. Then I thought 'Should I sell him for 2000g and finally get my epic flier or keep him as my companion?'. Yep, you're right. I kept him!

OMG He's so cute.	List of items looted before the firefly.
