My Day
Ever have one of those days? I did today. Instead of my normal Tuesday routine, I got stuck doing other things I didn’t really feel like doing. If you read my last update from when we went to the doctor’s office, Madison needs to get a hearing test done. I finally got around to calling the school district today, and what a mess. Instead of being able just to schedule her for hearing test, they are making her go through an entire preschool screening again. Unfortunately, this means I had to prove residency once again. This is no easy task. To prove residency in my district, you have to bring in your tax bill, two utility bills, an original birth certificate, and your drivers license. Unfortunately, that isn’t always so easy to find. I spent the entire time while Madison was a preschool looking for these items. My other problem was that the school closed at 4 PM.This normally wouldn’t be an issue except Madison had preschool until 3:30 PM. It takes me around 15 minutes to get from my house to her preschool. In theory, I should have made a back In plenty of time. However, I got stuck by two trains. I then turned on the wrong street to go to the school and got a bit turned around. What a mess! Luckily, I got there with five minutes to spare. I literally ran into the building with the kids. Thank goodness the woman was nice, because it actually took me till five after four for me to finish all the paperwork. Seriously, there was so much paperwork it was like signing mortgage papers. Now, I have to sit and wait for school to call me back and schedule a screening for preschool. I seriously don’t understand why they just can’t do the hearing screening like I asked. I think the lady said that testing would start November 7, so at least we don’t have to wait that long. It’s just frustrating because Madison won’t qualify for free preschool, so this is just a waste of my time.

BlogWorld – Day 1 Afternoon
Mr. Fab and I decided to eat there at the conference center. I wanted a pepperoni pizza. They didn’t have it, so I ended up with a cheese pizza instead. Then it happened. I went to put Mr. Fab’s phone number into my cell phone, and it wasn’t there! (mini freak out starts now). Luckily, we were at a booth, I had looked at my phone for the time, and then we walked to lunch. It couldn’t have went far. While I emptied out my computer bag, Mr. Fab walked back to place we bought lunch and looked there. We constantly tried calling it. Then Fab came back and I went back to the last booth we were at and retraced my steps. No phone. Trying not to freak out at this point. After calling my phone at least 20 times, finally somebody picked up! It was were we bought lunch!!! Whew!!! If I wasn’t married, I might have kissed Mr. Fab right then and there. I only use my phone sparingly, but it has all of the important numbers I need. It was my way to keep in contact with the other bloggers in Vegas. We finished our lunches and I was going to go check into my hotel. Mr. Fab was going to head back and take a nap (I think).
Well, I got hung up there and decided to go to the sessions I signed up for. Should have went to the hotel instead. The sessions were not quite what I expected. The first session I went to I ended up writing two posts during, checked my email, and read a couple of the forums I am a part of. Yeah, a little bored, but thank goodness for free WiFi. The second session was just as bad. The speaker was pretty much promoting his company that doesn’t allow most people in. Yeah, waste of time. I actually walked out early and found a bathroom to use instead. I headed over to the Izea booth at this point to hopefully catch Ted (which I did):
Yeah, he’s a little crazy. Some may think he needs drug rehab or alcohol rehab or both. However, the guy reminds me of an excited 5 year old. His enthusiasm is actually quite addicting. Shortly after meeting Ted, it was time to go and check into my hotel.

Credit Card Humor
Bill and Mary are flying to Australia for a two-week vacation to celebrate their 40th anniversary.
Suddenly, over the public address system, the Captain announces, “Ladies and Gentlemen, I am afraid I have some very bad news. Our engines have ceased functioning and we will attempt an emergency landing.
Luckily, I see an uncharted island below us and we should be able to land on the beach. However, the odds are that we may never be rescued and will have to live on the island for the rest of our lives!”
Thanks to the skill of the flight crew, the plane lands safely on the island. An hour later Bill turns to his wife and asks, “Mary, did we pay our $5,000 PBS pledge check yet?”
“No, sweetheart,” she responds.
Bill, still shaken from the crash landing, then asks, “Mary, did we pay our American Express card yet?”
“Oh, no! I’m sorry. I forgot to send the check,” she says.
“One last thing, Mary. Did you remember to send checks for Visa and MasterCard this month?” he asks.
“Oh, forgive me, Bill,” begged Mary. “I didn’t send those, either.”
Bill grabs her and gives her the biggest kiss in 40 years. Mary pulls away and asks him, “What was that for?”
Bill answers, “They’ll find us!”
