Well, here it is, my first {and who knows, it could be the last} EVER blog post. This all started because my BFF {and as I like to call her, my moral compass} Shelli, went on vacation, leaving me with NO ONE to talk to. See, she is really the only person who can tolerate my ramblings on about nothing and all my crazy opinions, and ideas!! So, if this turns out to be really horrible, it will be all her fault!! LOL!!! Today I was reading Facebook and all the moms out there were talking about it being the first day of school and such and that got me thinking and there was not enough room in that little status square on Facebook for all my thoughts, and without Shelli to talk to this blog was born!!
SO here it goes... my thoughts on back to school~
Today, parents everywhere sent their kids off on their 1st day of school, and it occurred to me~ I did NOT! For the first time in like 15 years, I did not have a 1st day of school to help get ready for. Both my kids are DONE with school! And of course parents everywhere are having a wide range of varied emotions about this day, NOT ME! I'm happy! I never cried when I sent my kids off on any of their first days, and I didn't cry when I sent one off to college this year... Am I just a heartless bitch? I don't think so! If I ever shed any tears, they were tears of pride, tears of joy! They are both ready for Life's Next Big Adventure, and so are we! I am proud of all my kids have accomplished and want them to go out into the big world and be successful at WHATEVER they choose to do. Their next big adventure is theirs to choose. My job was to get them ready to do this, and so I could not be sad when they left for their very first, 1st day of school or when they no longer had a 1st day...
And this brings up the next thought~
What is my{our} Next Big Adventure??? I don't know what life has in store for us. {Do any of us ever REALLY know??} BUT my job duties are now being redefined, I am no longer a stay at home mom! No more school functions, no more sporting events{ I will miss volleyball!}, no more committees, no more packing lunches!!! {My husband would say "Then get your ass to work!"}And that got me to thinking{again} What are my new job duties? What is next for me? Should I write a parenting book? WAHAHA!! Those of you who know me, are laughing {hard} right now too!! And those of you who don't can already tell by my writing skills that this is NOT an option! Should I go back to school myself? NAH!! I always hated school. Should I go to work? Maybe, more money would be nice. Should I clean this house??? DEFINITELY!! Should I pursue my hobbies as a real source of income?? Hmmm... The list goes on and on!!! I don't really know what is next, but I think I am ready to embrace it! That is it for today's ramblings...
This blog will {hopefully}get more exciting, as I learn how to do stuff on here, add pictures, projects, who knows this could get huge and I will have guest bloggers ~WOW the sky is the limit!!!
