Eli has really grown up a lot.I realized that on the first day back to school this year,I packed his lunch and tucked away a little *love* note for him to read when he opened his lunchbox.Thinking that,maybe that would give him a little comfort on his first day.Well, apparently he was horrified that I would do such a thing! I asked him how he liked the note when he got home.He said"Oh,I never read it.The kid next to me was watching me and I shoved it down to the bottom of my luchbox:("
"What did it say"?
Really,I laughed a little.Yes, it was sad to know that he's growing up and that kind of stuff just isn't cool anymore.But I know how he feels. He's trying to fit in with his friends,and getting a love note from your mom in 5th grade just isn't cool,silly me! I should have known better:-p! Although,he did say it was "ok" to still come have lunch with him every now and then. So that I will look foward to!
My days have been so productive since they've started school. I have somewhat made myself a schedule of how I will get things done each week. I can honestly say its just not me to be completly organized and everything be neat and clean. Wow! That sounds aweful,I don't mean to sound like I'm some sort of pig but I've always found it hard to devote so much time to cleaning and straightning up. I want my home to feel comfortable and "lived"in. BUT,I do admit that it does feel really good for things to be neat and clean.I have always tried to be that person.But,its been a struggle.I feel like I'm getting there slowly.
I think simplifing has been very helpful.Believe me by no means am I there yet. But I plan on getting there.You know,getting rid of things I've been holding on to for too long.Clothes I know I'm never going to wear again,or should I say "fit" in again! I am the first to admit I have a problem letting go,but I am working on it. I am.
I would love to spend more time on this blog.There are many things that I wish I would have documented that I haven't and I've always felt like this blog is for me. For memories,things we've done and things the kids have said. Don't get me wrong though I would love for people to read it,give me advice in certain areas or just enjoy it! So, I'm working on that too.
I just have to say I am SO enjoying my days home with Evelyn.She is so so much fun!I adore her more and more everyday.She started squealing last night:)Its so funny.When daddy talks to her she gets so excited.She talks mostly to him. I think we've got a daddy's girl on our hands.
