Boring doesn't begin to describe it...

I stumbled into a bee hive of blogs tonight that inspired me to want to fly right over here and create my own entry. Now that I'm here I realize that I don't have one thing to say! After 2 hours of reading about everything from recipes to rashes I have nothing of my own to say...zip...zero...nada. It's purdy sad to be this boring!

Guess I will head to Vista Print to order some business cards. I keep forgetting to do that. Fed Ex loves me.

Back To School Blues

Wow. I blinked and summer is gone!

Katie has spent the last week counting the days until her first day of 5th grade. She is so excited and I suppose I should be ashamed for not wanting her to grow up so quickly... but I'm not. All I really want to do is throw myself at her feet and beg her to stay my baby for just a little while longer. Of course, by "little while" I actually mean...um...the next 40 years! Is that so wrong? Never mind, don't answer that!

For the first time in a very long time my daughter actually went to sleep tonight without having to be begged, bribed or threatend. I should be jumping for joy, right? Well, I'm not. I'm...I'm...well, I'm afraid. I am afraid that she won't need me quite as much this year. I'm afraid that she will seek advice from her peers and not her old fuddy duddy mom. I'm afraid that the choices she makes won't always be the best choice or that her choices will cause her pain. I know that I will have to let her make her own decisions but that does NOT mean that I will have to like it.
