Just got home from High School orientation and registration. Weird. First, I am still not used to them not going to high school until 10th grade. Starting as a sophomore seems like they are being cheated out of a year, but whatev...
The weirdest part was sitting in the little pep rally in the auditorium and realizing with complete horror that this was for my CHILD.... not ME. I still remember most of high school quite vividly (except of course the parts I've chosen to forget) and the thought of that much time passing...wow!
I am really excited for her, she looked like she was in her element tonight as she was talking with her friends, and saying hi to older friends who were there helping out. It's going to be so fun moving into this segment of life...can't wait!!!!!

mid winter blah
I've been in a literary stump the last little while...nothing seems exciting enough to post about, or I don't have the energy to do it. I think it's the official mid-winter blahs. I need a tropical vacation stat.
I am excited about creating a book out of our blog, it's my form of family journalling, and it will be fun to hold it in our hands as we go down memory lane of the last few years. It should be here in a couple of weeks...yeah!!!!!
Today at work, I heard a little one crying from the bathrooms around the corner. She was sobbing and saying "help me, I'm scared".
Of course I bolted out of my little study office, and found a cute little 1st grader sitting on the floor, up against the far bathroom wall, knees up to her chin with her arms wrapped around her legs, rocking back and forth and crying. She explained that her friend had left her and she was scared that she couldn't find her way back to class. As I was walking her back to class, she turned to me and said with a still crying voice, "if you think I'm crying because my mom left today to go visit her cousin in Washington, I'm not, I'm really crying because my friend left and I was lost"
That tropical vacation I mentioned? make it for a family of 6..there's no way I'm leaving my kids home now!
