My baby girl soooo excited to get this show on the road.
Jaden, Olyvia and Jona!
First stop NHCA, Jaden, Jona, Isaac, Olyvia and Norah, my niece and nephew.
ok ok ok here it goes! My youngest started Kindergarten today! The thought of this day coming has been very difficult for me. I haven't been alone and without children in 15 years! Sure, I get tired and frustrated. Sure, I like to be able to grocery shop alone sometimes.... but in the end, I love being a mom. I'm feeling lost! A chapter has ended for me and the upcoming chapters aren't going to be my best in the book. Unlike those who are close to me ie(my husband and one of my best friends) I'm not counting down the days until my kids are 18 and out of the house! So, you may ask, what did I do? I drove to a paved path in the middle of nowhere, put on my roller blades and skated at least 5 miles. I listened to music in my ipod and I remembered fondly the fun we all had at the beach yesterday! I tried to think of new ways for me to occupy my time that didn't involve kids. I do have scrap booking that is way WAY behind in years. AND THEN I looked up and the first person I saw on the path was a white haired women in her 70's. She had binoculars in hand and was BIRDWATCHING! I swear to God my first thought was...... this is it, this is what my life will become. The next chapter in my life will be bird watching.... Then I broke out in laughter!!!! HAHAHAHAHA I realize that I will have many chapters in between Dropping my baby off at Kindergarten and bird watching, but the irony in that was Hilarious to me:) In closing, I'm free for coffee all of you mommies still at home with babies!!!!! And to those of you who have done this already??? How the heck did you do it and not feel so sad all the time... do share please! Have no idea why this started double spacing up there in the middle? Sorry! Melissa, do you need any help in the store??
