The Beginning

Daredevil started Kindergarten today. I'm so proud of him! He was a bit nervous, having never met his teacher before, but he went right in without any protests or crying.

After school he ran right up to me, slammed into me hard, and gave me a BIG hug. Ahh... I love my little man!

He came home with a paper he made at school. It's a picture of a cut-out hand with a stamped heart in the center of it. A poem above the hand reads:

Here's a special thing to do
When I am scared of leaving you
Hold my hand, then kiss it here
The kiss will help to keep you near
It will help me through my day,
So I can work and learn and play.

Then of course, Daredevil showed me that I am supposed to kiss the palm of his hand so that he can hold it over his heart. What a great idea!

My lost motivation, Son's lost tooth

I've completely lost all my Blogging Motivation. It's sad. What's sad is the events that lead up to this loss in motivation. I need to change that. I shouldn't let the actions of others bother me so much. It's just that I worked so hard on my other blog and to just have someone coming in and stealing my content, addmitting to downloading IP scramblers in order to trick me into believing it wasn't happening. It's just so frustrating... and draining.

I'm going to be better. I'm going to try anyways. Blog more often, both here and at the other one - though, I still haven't completely decided what I want to do with that one yet.

Anyways, Daredevil lost his first tooth yesterday! I had left him with my Dad while I took a nice, long, refreshing walk around town. I came back, took one look at my son and said, "What happened to your mouth?!?" I had assumed he had broken it! However, looking closer you can see the new tooth coming up. He's just getting so big!

Grandpa saw the missing tooth, but had assumed he had lost it while with me. Daredevil had no idea when or where he lost his tooth.

So... Before bed last night, I sat down with Daredevil and we wrote a note to leave for the Tooth Fairy. The note read, simply:

Dear Tooth Fairy,

I lost my tooth. I still want money. Thank you. I love you.

Daredevil

And of course, the little Daredevil did get his money (4 quarters) and can't wait to spend them!

I need a nap!

I seriously don't know if I could handle being a single Mom of 3 boys. I have such great respect for single Moms - I just don't know how they do it!

Hubby has been working a LOT of overtime the last couple of weeks. We are saving up thousands of dollars for....

I'll give you a hint? Can you guess?

It's for me (I'm being totally selfish!), but Hubby is probably just as excited
(maybe more?) about it. Which, I assume, is why he's working so much
overtime to get this for me - even though I've decided to go back to work in
order to pay for it.

Wait for it....

Have you made a guess???

Are you ready for it???

I'm getting a.....





Breast Augmentation!!

Honestly, Did you guess???

I breastfed 3 boys and it changed me in ways that I never thought possible. So, yes, we are saving up the money and will hopefully be making an appointment within the next month or two.

I. Am. Totally. Stoked.

It's been a long day...

... which makes for a quick and random blog post, full of nothing really interesting.

For the second time this summer, I spent the afternoon up at the community college teaching a bunch of young (middle-school aged) girls how to 'stay safe' in a variety of situations. While it was fun, God am I glad it is over! I am just not good in front of crowds. Okay, maybe that's not entirely true. Once I get started, It's not so bad. It's just the nervous anticipation that kills me.

------------------------------

I love the smell of Warm Apples and Cinnamon. We have an apple tree in the backyard (along with a few other fruit trees) and I've spent the day making homemade applesauce and apple crisp. Delicious!

-----------------------------

Saturday night/Sunday morning. Either way. It was early - 1 am. I get a phone call from an "Unknown" number. I knew I should probably ignore it, but the whole "what if it's an emergency?" idea got the best of me. I answer it and a very upset and very angry woman says, "Yes, Hello. Can I leave a message for the owner of this phone?" What kind of question is that?!? Ends up she had the wrong number, though now I'm wishing I would have went along with it just to find out what the 'oh-so-important' message was!

------------------------------

Speaking of random phone calls. Have any of you heard of Youmail? It's a free voice mail service. Both The Hubby and I use it in place of our carriers voice mail. You can choose greetings for your callers or use the general one which greets your callers by name, "Hello Barbie. Ken is not currently available..."
My favorite part of this service is their "DitchMail". Perfect for getting rid of ex-boyfriends, crazy stalkers, and the occasional insane family member! I know it's not very 'Christian' of me, but I would love to greet a certain someone with, "I’m sorry, nobody at this number wants to talk to you. Please hang up, and die in a fire." Muahahah!!

Who are you?

My 5-year-old son, who has informed me will be known from here on out as 'Daredevil', approached me this morning and said, "Mom, Can we go to the park?"

"Sure. Go get your shoes on."

"Right Now?"

"Yeah. We can go now."

"Who. Are. You?!?"

"Haha. What do you mean? I'm your Mom."

"No, Your not my Mom right now because you said we can go NOW."

Hmm... Apparently, Mom says 'not right now' and 'maybe later' a little too often. Guess I'm going to have to work on that!

Welcome

... to my blog!

I've been blogging for a while now, but have recently been forced to move my personal content elsewhere. It's rather unfortunate and is a long, drama-filled story which recently resulted in content being stolen off my blog.

I had originally planned on going private (and I may still do so with this blog), but I'm not sure that's the direction I want to take.

Until I figure that out, I will be here. If you know me through my other blogs, I'd appreciate if you didn't link to this blog. At least not at the moment, I don't want a trail.

In the end, this may be a good move! I can write about what I really think about issues and life without worrying about upsetting anyone. I can be 'real' with myself and who I really am, because I swear I have multiple identities.

I came across a quote recently that said, "Ok... So my Halo slips not and again. Get over it." It fits. It fits with who I am at this point in my life and how I feel about life in general. I've made mistakes, but I like to think of them as 'experiences' rather than mistakes. I'm not perfect. Far from it.
