I'm Baaaaaack

First day of school. Could hardly wait. Now I'm crying in the parking lot. "Are you going to take care of me today?" I ask 3-year-old Wyatt. "Uh huh," he replies nervously.

What is wrong with his mother?

I'll tell you what's wrong. MIDDLE SCHOOL already.

And how about lip gloss ALREADY. When I overhear Ashton saying, "What smells like bubble gum?" And Ruby answers, "My lip gloss" my eyes go all big and spacey. When did things like lip gloss suddenly happen? When did Cade decide he wanted to be all adult and do things like walk himself to the car pick up line? No more teacher escorts?

As proof that I need to grow up myself and take a better look at my chilluns, check out what greeted me when I rounded the corner to take "first day of school pictures."

In an effort to look at the bright side, make lemonade out of lemons, yada yada, I made a sixty item list. Too bad I only got done four things off said list. What a year it's looking to be. Inefficiency might have something to do with this kid.

But lucky me, I also get to spend it with this yummy.

So glad that you are back....is there anything as fabulous as a "Ruby" all posed and looking so cute??? We miss squeezing Ivy's chubs and Hazel , since your visit, has turned all of her babies into miniature "Ivy's". Glad that you are able to do anything at all on your list...my list keeps growing with not much getting done!

SO glad you are back and look at those gorgeous kiddos. I can't believe how old they all are. Love seeing them, and little Ruby, she cracks me up...all dolled up. I'd love to chat soon...I'm on your time zone and finally getting a bit less crazy!
