Hitting the Road

This girl is cool!

Bedtime with Mommy!

Today was exhausting!  I had to go to the lottery drawing for the Magnet School.  We found out a few weeks ago that Luke scored high enough on the entrance exam to be eligible.  Unfortunately, there are not enough spots for the number of students that test in so the county does a lottery drawing.  Luke's name did not get drawn for a spot this year and he is #38 on the wait list so the chances are nill that he will ever get  in.     We were a little disappointed but honestly we would have been shocked if they had drawn his name.  There were about 80 kids that tested in for Kindergarten.  So, now we have a big decision to make - our neighborhood public school or private school.  We have to make the decision quickly, too.

I went to work after that which has been very tedious lately.  I worked until normal time, picked the kids up, ran by the house to do a few last minute things while we waited on Mom to get here.  We loaded her stuff in the vehicle and headed to Nashville to pick Paul up. It was almost 6 before we got on the road.  We were so excited to be getting away, but it has been a long day.

We stopped for supper at Cracker Barrel in Columbia.  Luke has been asking to go to the Barrel for awhile now.  And, what road trip is complete without a stop there?  We are staying the night at our go-to hotel in Montgomery.  We will be Florida bound in the morning!!!
