Mom in the Fishbowl

We have a SECOND GRADER!!!

He is so thrilled to be going to school! He just LOVES it and is really looking forward to a great year with some old friends from last year and making some new friends!

Here he is at the bus stop…and his little sidekick too!

Little totally is ready for school too, but sadly he has to wait another month.  EVERY day he asks me “I be 5 now to ride the bus?” Yes, buddy, 5. (insert looooonnnnggg mommy sigh. )

You can’t tell that he is excited, can you??

I felt as if August was long, but that’s okay, because it was birthday month, so it can be as long as I want….
Alas, it’s over. The last birthday celebration was fittingly on the last day of the month, in which Jeremy and I enjoyed dinner at a plush place near the night life part of Atlanta. We had a gift card that my old company gave us for Assistant Day, so we enjoyed ourselves, ala no Boo, who was living up life at Nana and Papa’s house…yes, again. It was technically his last week of Summer! He enjoyed Nana and Papa’s house, and Aunt Laura’s house while I met with all my students and parents during last week. I was exhausted by Thursday afternoon…and I will have you know that I took a nap every day last week…couldn’t explain the level of exhaustion, it was surreal.
Jeremy preached today while the pastor was out of town…it was on struggles and he used the life of Jacob as his example. It was good and we got out early! I know, that’s not really the point. Just a sidenote.
Because it’s September, that means College Football has begun…can I get a Sting Em for the Jackets whomping on the Irish??? Oh yeah baby! We proudly wore our White and Gold yesterday and what a game! We are hoping to take Boo to a game this year…we will let you know how that goes.

For all my Siesta friends out there, the Siesta party has been set – click the words Siesta friends back there (<-) to see what the big deal is...can't wait to see you all there...if you are planning on it, please let me know, I want to meet up! :) I know Preacher’s Wife is going!

Oh my gracious! Y’all! I have not even begun to tell you about my little preschoolers. Oh how cute and enjoyable they are!! Classes begin on Tuesday! I am excited and Boo is just as excited! I have already re-thought about this several times, but know without a doubt God called me to this purpose. Let’s see if I feel the same after the first week! hee hee…just teasing. Oh! And Jeremy’s job is going well too…lots to learn and deal with, but we are both chugging along.
And, I hate to do this, but if you would say a little prayer for Boo…he is having some trouble with the potty skill, and I really don’t want to have to leave my free day to come change him on Wednesdays. It’s bad enough if he does the deed in his pants and I am working that day, then they will come bring him to my room for me to change him.
Okay, that’s all.

Love,
Karen
