And here comes the guilt...

I was dropping Jabyn off at school this morning.... by Monday he is begging to go back. We were the first ones there, and the door opens and the water-works begin. He was saying, Please don't leave me, let me go home with you, PLEASE! I had no idea where this was coming from. For like 10 minutes I tried to bargain with him to no avail. Finally, his teacher picked him up and carried him in while he was reaching for me screaming and crying.... I felt like crap! I wanted nothing more than to take him home and hold him in my lap all day! The other moms were saying it's because of the baby.... great..... something I can't control! I called up to his school around 11am and he was fine! His first comment when picking him up this afternoon was, " I had a good day today!" Wow, I wish I had his resilience....

Happy, happy, happy

Ok, so it has come to my attention that I am what you call an "Angry Blogger". I only want to blog when I am mad, it's a good way to vent! But, a lot of great things have been happening. I got to be Mystery Reader at Jabyn's school.... I think I was a hit. I was play-doh mom of the month.... yes I cooked play-doh. And, Jabyn has already taken snacks for his assigned week for this semester. I am on top of this school thing!
I just had a lovely baby shower, my second, here in Plano. Mom threw me a wonderful in Pasadena back in August. Everyone was sooooo generous each time. I have awesome friends and family!
My parents and Gigi (Gayle Holder) were here this past weekend and we got the nursery and the rest of the house fixed up and I am so happy with the results. Sandy, Dusty's mom, was here too to join in the fun.
So.... enough of this hunky-dory business.... my feet are soooo swollen i am having a hard time wearing flip-flops. My mom bought me the new clinical strength deoderant....it's crap! I'm still sweating! Where are you 60 degree weather???? And could a girl get one good nights sleep???
Ok, I feel a bit better ;)

Life goes on!

Like the words of wisdom so many of you shared with me yesterday, Jabyn could have cared less about the forgotten book. So, I dried my tears and realized life will go on after my first day blunder. After all, Fergie tells us, Big girls don't cry.

My First

I have to be like the worst Mom ever.... Dusty and I took Jabyn to school this morning, his first day of Pre-K. I thought I had it all together.... a good lunch, a cool Transformers backpack, new Puma shoes.... we walk in and every little kid has a book. OHHHH..... he was supposed to bring a book to school on the first day! I looked at his teacher with this awful look and was like "He was supposed to bring a book???!!" She was just smiled and said yes, but he can borrow one of mine today. I said,"where did it tell us to do that?" She said, "In the letter you got." AHHHHHHHHHH...... I cried all the way home, what kind of mother does that??? I feel horrible.
