the grass is always greener (and less weedy) September 05 2007
Both kids are gone to school today.
all day.
And after such a tumultuous summer, I thought i would be doing back flips.
And I did….one. And it hurt my back.
And now I’m lonely. Even the dogs are sad.
July may have sucked monkey balls but August was pretty friggin good and adventurous.
My boys are gone. I have no babies anymore.
Noah was like “SEE ya!” And will NOT kiss me infront of his bus (we have to do that 10 minutes before it is due to arrive) and really kind of wanted me to wave from the step and not walk him to the end of the drive way.
he threw me a bone when he whispered in my ear (I will miss you today mommy), I don’t really believe him.
Brendan was a little nervous today, nothing horrible. He is worried about one kid in particular that doesn’t like that fact that people think Brendan is smart. Ok, but…Brendan IS smart. I think this kid is also smart and maybe feels Brendan is stepping on his toes.
A little pep talk….Adrian doesn’t matter…ignore ignore and if he touches you….tell someone.
And here I am….with the whole rest of my life ahead of me (or at least the whole rest of term)
What to do.
Get a job?
or
Make Chris finally build me a pottery wheel and stained glass work area so I can get my craft on
We shall see.
Oh I would have loved to share photos of the first day of school but oh yeah…My CAMERA FELL IN THE LAKE.
blarg!
and now I am off to lunch with my Momma.
cheers
have another one?
Ahh c’mon, get off the couch and go for a RUN now!
Your camera “fell in the lake?’ Like it has it’s own will? And little legs? And it lost it’s little balance?
*grin*
Sorry that you bought a clumsy camera.
As far as the “worries” over smart goes, or other people thinking of him as smart . . . always go the other way with that stuff. Embrace it! Declare loudly, “Well you ARE smart. And it’s great! And everyone is going to know how smart you are whether you like it or not, because people LIKE smart boys and girls, because they’re FUN to be around, and they KNOW lots of cool things. Plus, since you ARE pretty smart, you’re not going to let what other people think of you worry at all, because that’s just silly!”
etc.
I think you should build your own durn pottery wheel - give you something to do. Ask him what the first five steps are, get a material list going, and maybe he’ll join in once he sees you’re serious about it.
Wish I was there to pot with you.
or perhaps email your sister who is at work all day with nothing better to do! HELLO!
Well now you have time to run or bike, Pam. Get out there and get moving!
Adorable post. Cracked me up and made me sad at the same time. My babies are growing up too!
Fun blog!
