Tuesday! Dancing, nature and heavy metal at 11:06 PM

Oh man do i have to wake up early on Tuesday. Today's post comes a bit early so i can get to bed and HOPEFULLY be able to wake up in enough time to get the girl child and myself ready to bike downtown for a meeting at 8am. Now I know 8am may not seem early to some of you morning folk out there but for me 8am is the equivalent to torture. But, if i am going to return to the working world soon i have to reprogram myself to getting up a bit earlier. Oh how i will miss my extra couple hours of sleep, but perhaps waking the child this early will persuade her to go to bed at a decent hour for once.
Yesterday i did get to see the horse and hitch parade which was quite fun except for one part, there wasn't nearly enough candy. My poor tot was not able to beat any of the bigger kids to any candy and i could see her spirits dwindling with each miss. Of course i always keep a secret stash so i was able to give her a bit when we got home but...still. Also , whoever was handing out energy shots, just don't. A few kids got a hold of them before there parents and i just KNOW there were some angry parents about 45 minutes later. Otherwise the event was a hit and the horses were absolutely beautiful. i especially loved the one with spots and the itty bitty pony pulling a wagon.

Well, enjoy the days events folks! Be safe and have fun!
