The Sky Is Falling!!!!  Oh wait....that is just rain.

So for the first time in about a bajillion days, it actually rained today!  It was just a small storm going through but it did thunder and lightning for most of the day and it was WONDERFUL!  It was the first time that the temperature didn't break 100 in like 2 weeks.  It was still in the way upper 90's but we will take what we can get. 

School!!  Or, maybe School??

Okay, I am seriously fed up with trying to get Jackson into preschool here!  Finally, I was able to go register him for Arnold Drive on base yesterday but I knew he was due for a couple of shots so we went to the Immunization Clinic first.  When I get there, lo and behold, he is due for FIVE shots!  How does this happen?  I was just there on Valentine's Day and he had 4 shots which "caught him completely up to date".  Geez, poor kid.  I told him beforehand what was happening and he did really well.  He squealed when they gave him the MMR shot because it burns pretty badly but it was over quickly and I gave him his lollipops that I brought.  When we got out to the lobby, he saw a little girl sitting there and he said, "Don't go in that room over there."  Haha! 

So, I took TONS of paperwork to the school to register him but they gave me a piece of paper saying I don't work and told me I have to go to legal to get it notarized.  Seriously?  So, off we go in the rain...my poor child with the sore legs and me who has run 5 miles and hasn't eaten anything all day (it was around 3:00).  We got the stupid paper notarized and I spent 30 minutes filling out what seemed like the same piece of paper and suddenly the lady says "Oh! We need a copy of your closing papers from buying your house as proof of where you live."  Wha?  I told her the lady on the phone  told me to bring a utility bill.  "No ma'am...we need a copy of your closing papers."  I called Garry and asked him to bring them.  He did and I finished the paperwork and then a really fun thing happened.  My blood sugar bottomed out and I came within about 30 seconds from passing out.  Yay!  The lady had to grab me a coke.  I was so glad to get home.  Now I just have to wait and see if he got in.  :/

Jack spent the rest of the day playing.  He loves making videos with my phone and he will run around and act all crazy.  He also kept an eye on me and tried to chase kitties with his remote controlled cars when I wasn't looking.  Unfortunately for him, Mama sees all.  ;)
