In another 1.5 weeks .. we will be going thru’ some separation anxiety with the brat and I, yours truly. Yes, for those who are not aware of this .. my brat is a BIG gal now.. !! she is going to school… but not even 5 years old. She is going to real school.. not kindergarten or pre-school or nursery or day care. She will be in French Immersion .. and will be in Grade Primary. We sent her for the “ready, get set, go” program earlier this month..and she did wonderfully… but not without some separation from me and not her. Yes.. ! she was the brave one.

Advice from some blogging mummies that i picked up on .. was not to show that you were anxious nor worried.. and to let her go to school happily. So i put on a brave front.. and let her go happily to school. My mother in law had teased me about that.. before she left for school.. but we did pretty well. So if you have kids going to school this fall, this is my survival guide for just cross reference.

A few days before school start. .drive her to school.. . and tell her what is going to happen.. what time she will be waking up.. what time she will be going to school. .and so forth. Walk her thru’ the routine.. and of course tell her how much fun it is going to be.. and that you will be right outside waiting for her.. once school is over.. .and you will be there to pick her up.. ON TIME. More tomorrow.. eh..

A happy trooper for sure!

In a town full of fishermen it is not surprising to see trucks on the road all the time. But I guess it shouldn’t be of any surprise to me since the trucks are used to nets and lobster pots down to the wharf and back. I have also heard stories of our fishermen paying for their new GMC trucks in cash. I’m pretty sure owners at New GMC Manchester NH would love some customers like this too.

I know of someone who could use a new GMC truck instead of his old beat up one! And that is Grampie..! I bet my father-in-law would love the all new GMC Sierra, it’s quiet and has a spacious interior so delivering vegies and fruits to our local stores would be a lot easier and more enjoyable. Plus with the Active Fuel Management it must mean that it is not quite that expensive to run as compared to that old beat up truck he now uses. And Richard, my brother-in-law, had mentioned about the towing capacity of this all new Sierra and how it can handle just about any job. It would be very handy for his current project of building his own cabin.
