NO-I'm not hormonal...just one emotional woman!

Where do I start? This may be long so hang in there. This post is about me, myself, and I! A while back I had bought this bracelet that reads..."One day at a time." I love to wear it b/c that is exactly how I live my life. But recently I have felt a little overwelmed. So living my life "one day at a time" is a bit challenging. I've been trying to finish up our schedule with ball season, get my husband ready for deployment, and preparing my kids for the last day of school. YES I said preparing them. Who'd ever think you'd have to prepare your kids for the last day of school. My kids loved going to school. They had WONDERFUL teachers and the best group of friends. SO today I went to hang out with them on their last day and I have to admit it was hard seeing my daughter have to say good-bye to her group of friends. We all know you can't get more than 2 girls together or of course they fight when there's 3. Well, not in her case. There were about 8-9 of them in this little click and they were the best of friends. At b-day parties they'd all act silly and hang out like they were sisters and there wasn't a day that she didn't get off the bus talking about what a great day they had in some way. I told her she went to school just to socialize. It saddens me to have to take her away from such a awesome group but the exploring elsewhere must go on. So, I must say it was a little tear jerking as the bell rung at the end of the day. Then, I got home...what do I have? A freakin mess of school JUNK that they have been bringing home for the last 3 days. So, I start going through it all and find some of the most touching subjects/stories that J used for writing. She used her brother and not just short paragraphs...these were 3 sheets of paper front and back of why her brother is the best, funniest, coolest, and so on. I am once again today...tearing up and lost it. I feel so proud that she feels that way about her brother. I found it funny that she is mentioning all the ways he's so talented and ends by saying "but most of all he's talented at being annoying...to who- me." Isn't that just too cute. Then, I'm off to some of C's JUNK. For those of you who don't know when C started to Lisbon in Jan he was WAY behind in reading but poor child he was never taught to read in Kinder. and what they did teach him I thought was the best but it didn't help when he got to 1st so he entered this wonderful program provided by this wonderful reading teacher and we worked our tails off at getting him "up to par" with the expectations of him for the 1st gr. To make a long story short here...I got his end results and I have to say the teacher was amazed at his test scores, how fast he advanced, and the amount of information he soaked up b/t Jan and June. She said it's never been done. The pics I share with this post are from his pack of this program he was in. I have to end with some words she wrote to me. And they go..."I've truely enjoyed working with C! He's an absolute sweetheart-so agreeable and willing to try his best. You've done a great job at mothering him"..."Our 1st gr goal is level 16 in June! HE DID IT! Thank you for being such an involved mother. Like they say...behind every good man is a good woman (often his mom)" My head of course swelled to the size of a mellon but OMG wouldn't yours? I'm one proud mamma and I thank God everyday for my children. He keeps blessing me over and over again!!! I don't think you'd call this day hormonal...My heart has just been sincerely touched. Have a blessed day.
