OK, so I took a slight break from blogging. To be honest, I forgot I even had this blog page until I was reminded about it by a friend. Half of the time, I figure most people don't care what I have to say. The other half, I figure most people shouldn't really know what's really on my mind. Therefore, I keep my hands to working instead of typing. I'll try to be better about it. Helloooooo? Anyone out there?
So today, my son started Kindergarten. I wiped a few tears away last night when I put him to bed and he kept asking me to tickle his back and hair. TJ and I have a special closeness. I suppose it's different with each child, but there is something to be said about a Mama and her baby boy. Don't tell my brother I said that...we have an ongoing debate if he's the favorite child because he's the only boy and the oldest, or if I am because I'm the baby and the all-around best :)
The tears lasted long enough for me to release the emotion and get some red eyes, but I held it together with no problems when I dropped him off today at school. Ultimately, I'm just so proud of those kids of mine. They've grown up so fast and I can only imagine how much faster it gets from now.
It's a strange silence I am experiencing in the house. I took the dog for a run around Holmes Lake today. It was "supposed" to be a run, but turned out to be more of a quick walk because I forgot to put her walking leash on her. (Totally not because I'm out of shape...) Perfect day, yet so awkward to be at home with no noise at all. I have a feeling the oven is going to get over-worked a little bit as I attempt to be Mom-of-the-Year in the category of After-School treats. That phase will last about a week and then I'll be back to chips and Little Debbies, I'm sure.
Now that I've quit my job as a barista, coffee and lattes are suddenly much more expensive for me. I may have to try to manipulate some discounted drinks out of some people. I'm sure there's a discount somewhere out there for people in full-time ministry. If not, my winter is going to be a very long winter at home with movies, my writing and baths. Scary thought.
So for now, I'll be back on this thing more often...if for no other reason, to convince myself that someone's listening to me :) Back tomorrow ~ K
