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.

Wine Of The Month
Look what I have here:
We just got some wine delivered from Gold Medal this week. They have a great wine of the month club that you can join. I’ll be honest, we are not huge wine drinkers at my house, so I will be unable to give you a play by play of how exactly it tasted. I just know good or bad. In my opinion, this wine is good. We had both a white wine to try and a red wine to try, and they were both most excellent.
Besides the taste of the wine, there were many things that impressed me by this company. First, I love that the wine came wrapped. Most of the wine we do order is gifts. It is helpful to have it prettily wrapped. I have not seen any other company do this before, and it definitely makes them stand out. You can see that this wine came with a ton of paperwork. One piece of the paperwork is a wine tasting scoresheet. I love this idea! They want to know what you think of the appearance, aroma, body, flavor, texture, and aftertaste. They want to know if your wine was up your standards. I love it. This is a great way to please your customers. Plus, if your customer is not satisfied with their wine, they are able to let them know what exactly the problem was. The wine came very well packaged, so there was not a chance of the bottles breaking. I could have dropped the box, and they still wouldn’t have broke. Another piece of paperwork that was sent was their newsletter. There was a great piece on the owner of the company in there. There was also two really good sounding recipes in there too. My favorite line of the recipe was “two glasses of chardonnay for the chef”. I think I can handle that!
