Ah, the dog days of Summer are quickly coming to a close. Football practice has started, back to school supplies have been purchased and orientations are happening next week. Time does fly doesn’t it? The school year to me might as well be New Years because it is the start of all things new. New schedules, homework, and finally some me time for me this year. I’ll have both boys in school full time and I have some big plans of my own. I’d like to start making a bit more of a profit of this blog, exercise everyday, and finally get my house in some sort of order. I’ll keep you posted as life goes on. So here it goes:
This week I learned that:
10. for some people good enough is fine. ( not me, if you have the chance to do something right or to do it better why wouldn’t you at least try)
9. I love watching old episodes of Ally McBeal. ( Boy, does that bring back memories of a time past)
8. some are always going to be a thorn in my side if I let them ( seriously, just shut up! What I do has nothing to do with your life!)
7. it’s hard to take the kid that cries wolf seriously at times. ( Oh, Owen, if you just didn’t cry at the smallest thing when something big happens people would be on your side)
6. if I don’t lose some weight before Fall I’ll need to buy new pants. ( God, I hate my life!)
5. a friend and I unknowingly shared the same bedtime routine with our kids. ( telling each other what our favorite part of the day was)
4. the closest friends you have are the ones that don’t criticize you and you don’t need to clean the house for because they won’t judge you. (true)
3. I lost both of my sons paperwork for school. Teachers notes, supply lists and oh my favorite, their school physicals and immunization records. ( now that’s not being your Best Mom!)
2. I just will never get over how or why some small children are mean to other kids. ( Are they born that way? Is it the parents? Why? Why would another child want to hit or abuse another kid?)
1. nothing at this point in my life has broken my heart as much as watching my little boy get hit by 2 boys and then knocked down by a third. ( FYI, these are 5-7 year olds- WTF!)
More on that in a later post. Have a great weekend! I’ll keep you posted on whether or not we get hit by this hurricane scheduled my way!
