the BIG day!

OH, day of days! Benjamin started kindergarten today!! What a joyous moment for me! Joyous...and bittersweet.  It seems like just yesterday I was still feeling his little kicks in my belly. *sigh* 

I shed a few tears as I walked back to my car after dropping him off this morning. 

Ava and I made our way back to the house and..........................yep.......and...............nothing. I was LOST with just one child in tow, today. I just did NOT know what to do with myself.  Ava was a little forlorn without her "bubby" here to play with all day.  When we left him at school this morning she just couldn't figure out why we were leaving him there. It was cute! She kept telling him, "C'mon, bubby.....lets go, bubby."

I did manage to make myself do some laundry and tidy up the house some.  I ran a few errands and went to have lunch with my bestie. :) 

All in all it was a good day. Benjamin said that he likes his teacher (Mrs. Jenny) and that he has a classroom pet....a turtle.  He was thrilled about that! 

It is going to take some getting used to my new schedule.  I am planning on putting all my new "free time" to use! Get this home front running on the up and up.....get a nice routine going. 

Hope everyone else had a blessed day!

Peace & Chicken Grease

new to this blogging thing...

So,

What IS a blog, exactly?  Does it have to be a super savvy place of wonderfully written prose? Chances are....no, it doesn't.  And, mine won't be.

My blog is simply going to be a place where I can come to share my inner mind muddle (ie - those things I sometimes refer to as thoughts) with whomever feels like they want to read it. :) Sometimes, it might be funny. Sometimes, it might be depressing.  Sometimes, it might be informative. Yet sometimes again, it might be absolutely utter boringness. (Is that a word, even?  If not, it SHOULD be.)

So with that thought, I leave this entry at a close. More to come soon, don't you worry.
