I will blog, I will blog, I will blog. I really do try but .....my only excuse is life keeps getting in the way. That's a good thing though, isn't? I am living life instead of writing about it. That's my story and I am sticking to it:)
This is the last week of summer vacation. Our last week. The three of us. Next summer I will have returned to the workforce and the boys will get to spend the lazy days of summer with one of my teacher friends. Due is headed to second grade. He is in a multi-age class and this year he gets to be an expert. He gets to practice his leadership skills that will one day become useful when he is in charge of a Fortune 500 company or a boy scout troop. Pie heads off to kindergarten this year. It is bittersweet. I am excited for him to learn some independence but at the same time the thought of someone else getting to hear all about his "world" that he lives in breaks my heart. I will get through this. I vow to focus on the positives. Bedtime stories that he reads to me, Thank you notes that he writes himself, Friends that I didn't set up for him, Gaining the maturity that he needs, desperately some days.
Our last week of summer vacation has been a quiet one. I packed this summer with trips to the beach, waterpark visits, movies, play dates, outside hikes, bike riding, and good time fun. I am tired and quite frankly don't want to share my time with these two creatures. I want them all to myself...too bad that currently I am banned from the fort game they are playing in Pie's room. I get to hear their laughter, their planning and, of course, their bickering.
Today is a good day.
OAN, I have taken a break from hooking lately but have recently been approached again regarding orders. I have agreed to some and pictures to come.
Current project is a scrappy chevron blanket for myself.
