Will's Officially A Big Boy






Yesterday, I took Will to his new pre-school to meet his teacher Ms. Jayne and to show him around. (it was president's day so no kids were there) He checked everything out and played with the toys while Ms. Jayne and I talked and filled out paperwork. She explained what his day would be like and WHO KNEW! he would have gym class and field trips!! Also, she explained the Letter of the Week was X and today he would learn about George Washington. She told Will that Mondays is "Show & Tell" and he can bring something that starts with the Letter of the Week...although, she said X is too hard and he could bring something with the letter x IN the word. Will took his Lexus :) LOL. Then when it was time to go, Will didn't want to leave. Ms. Jayne probably thinks I'm abusive because Will *really* wanted to stay there! But she explained how he has to go home and sleep good and come back when the other kids were gonna be there (worked like a charm).

Will talked about school the rest of the day and kept asking *when* he could return. Then when Daddy got home he ran right to him and said "My school has all these broken toys to play with." What Will meant to say was they have lots of keyboards, cell phones and cameras that are just pretend...but he called them broken because technically there are LOL. Will did SO GOOD all night until he started getting tired around 8. Then he began to really think about things and started crying saying "I'm gonna miss you mawmaw when I'm at school tomorrow." TALK ABOUT RIPPING MY HEART OUT! He was very clingy and wanted me to read his bedtime story *twice* but he did end up falling asleep.

This morning me, Daddy and Em woke Will up all loud and crazy, to make the day start off very exciting like. He got dressed and had his bookbag on a whole half hour before we were even ready to walk out the door! He didn't want to eat and I didn't make him fearing maybe he was too nervous and I didn't want him hurling on his first day! (but YES I will make him eat breakfast from now on , ok. Geez!) So once I took some pictures and we started to the truck, Mimi called. She told him Good Luck and was gonna continue talking to him when he put up his hand and said "ok. that's enough. that's enough" LIKE Mimi quit blubbering over me! LOL LOL LOL He didn't want to be getting all emotional on his first day!! :)

When we got to his school, I took some more pictures of course and then it was time for me to let go. It is *WAY* better to have your kid walk away and forget to say bye to you than to have them bawling and begging you not to leave them there. Will didn't hold onto my leg for dear life but he did forget to say bye to me. I made him come back to the door and smooch me and then he was off. The last thing I heard him say to the teacher was "we gotta go this way upstairs" ALREADY BOSSING PEOPLE AROUND! LOL! I didn't cry or lose it. I had to get Em to school and she made me laugh talking like Will saying "I want pictures at Myyyyyy schooooooool" and "but I don't wannnnnnnna gooooooo." :) That helped, thanks Em. And Em is *WAY*2*COOL*4*SCHOOL* and didn't stop for a picture, brat.

Anywho, so here I sit, in this quiet, empty house and it's weird...but I have to go get Will in exactly 25 minutes and take him to McDonald's for lunch on his first big day so...I think I can handle this.

It Comes From Within

So I went to the dentist AGAIN today and read a magazine in the waiting room. There was an article about a couple who had grown apart over the years and didn't know how it happened. The woman was repeatedly telling her husband that she felt unimportant . She explained how she never did anything for herself and hadn't done some things that she enjoyed doing since before her and her husband were married. She asked her kids what mommy did the most and they said, "the laundry." (not exactly a legacy!) Then the woman went on to explain how she blamed her husband for her unhappiness. The expert gave a detailed response, but the one thing she said that really stood out to me was how the woman was unhappy because the woman was unhappy ... it really didn't have anything to do with him. She no longer did the things she had liked to do. What did she expect?! When her and her husband were dating she was spontaneous and exciting and the two of them explored things together. No...

This Can't Be Happening!

Will is already old enough to play tee ball!! OH MY WORD!! I remember "walkin' the mile" while in labor, secretly wishing that it was over and done with and my child was already walking and talking and no late nights and loss of sleep would be suffered. I regret that now b/c it happened. He's walking: check. He's talking: check. He's gonna be 5 in less than 2 months: check. Just signed him up for tee ball: double check. This just can't be happening. The time went too fast. I'm not ready to give him up for school either. That's like 6 whole hours in the day that he will be somewhere else, like not with me, like: uncheck! I don't likey. I supposed I could homeschool him??....but let's not fool anyone here...I love my son but I don't want to be the sole person responsible for his smarts and knowledge and stuff like that. I only have an associates degree in general studies...C'MON PEOPLE! I am also realizing that with Will being gone 6 ...

Thankful to NOT be in the Army! (part 1)

I haven't blogged in 4EVER b/c someone has been sick in this house for the last 10 days and right now, it's me. Joy. Anywho, Emily wants me to write 100 things about her but I can't think that hard this morning...although I will do 1. She farts ALL THE TIME! and 2. She really is SUPER DUPER funny! I'll do the rest later. So it's the most wonderful time of the year and I've already done 80% of my shopping throughout the year so, I'm totally ahead of the game and liking it. People are scrambling around trying to find what they're looking for or trying to decide WHAT they're looking for while I am smuggly enjoying browzin! I am always left with the kids stocking stuffers. I try to keep those gifts as random as possible (more fun that way; for me, not necessarily for them). And this time of year always reminds me of my experience in the Army... I remember the BEST christmas-time I ever had...I was in the Army and was desperately trying to get out. I knew...
