Days like these...

Well, as Murphy's Law states "if anything can go wrong, it will..." therefore in contrast I've mostly survived by, it's better to have and not need it, than need it and not have it. Except however, when things are completely out of your control ---- LIKE THE INTERNET. As soon as I began celebrating the magnificent miracle of our working network, it quits. So here we are again, weeks later... however, that's as much as I'm going to complain about it. Smile and move on! :)

Today is a momentous day!!! I'm currently at my local coffee shop; and while sipping on my usual large decaf mocha frapp, and freely enjoying their wifi, I've come to terms that this is quite a bittersweet rendezvous. The hubs is at work and my daughter is... wait for it... AT PRESCHOOL. Omgosh!! I have to pinch myself every second it crosses my mind. I cannot believe my baby girl is already in preschool.
The first day, however is a very short day and I will be picking her back up in about 20 mins!! So this is, as intended, quite a short post... just wanted to share the news that my baby is no longer a baby and I'm not sure I'm ready for that... it doesn't help that my 20 weeks hormones kick in as every 10 mins.

I couldn't ask for a better send off though. She was more than excited!!!! That definitely makes it easier on mommy... her enthusiasm is obvious. ;)
Happy First Day of Preschool, my sweet girl!! I'm so proud of you.

There, Their, They're...

THEY ARE not the same.

These are three of the most commonly misused words in the English dictionary - which no one takes time to review before publicly posting their thoughts or opinions. Among them: your, you're, its, it's, past, passed... the list goes on. 

It isn't required that we know the accurate definition of such words, but it is suggested we take time to learn the difference of where they belong in a sentence. 

Is that wrong?

At some point, I feel as though I'm just a lonely perfectionist, who nitpicks everything. 

Then, I stumble upon this beauty:
...nice to know there are people out there who think like me.

Now, most of you reading this are probably thinking, "I know the difference, I just don't care." or "...don't care to correct myself." In that case, there's hardly an argument. Personally, I will delete and retype - over and over - until it is correct! Proof read? You better believe it! I'll also *** with corrections (my text buddies know this well) if I misspell a word, or if auto-correct thinks it's better at that game than me, filling in what it THINKS I meant to say...


This leads me to my last, and final, thought... 

Although, we can't change the way people speak... there SHOULD be a law against "text grammar". 
For example:
 Really ..."L8"? When did English become a game of BINGO?

If you are, indeed, a text grammar participant, well... (as the saying goes) live and let live. I'm not here to place judgement - this is a happy, welcoming blog to all readers - but it is a frustrating ordeal I do not often tolerate. Lol <-- why not.

There is no solution to this matter; no one is perfect. I may call myself a perfectionist, but I am FAR from "perfect". My post was merely to share an opinion. If you agree (or even disagree), feel free to share your thoughts!! 

In the meantime, I'll leave you with one more humorous photo. 

Good day to you all!!

Looks like it!
