Well Hello There!

I suppose I've abandoned my blog. One of these days, I'll get back into it, I swear! In the meantime, I've just been spending time with these handsome fellas:




School starts two weeks from today. I will officially have a first grader (OMG!). Our summer has been a non-stop whirlwind of camp (for the boy), work (for the parents), the lake, Mexico, hanging out with friends, and enjoying every moment that we have. There hasn't been a spare moment to put a coherent thought to print.

On a not-so-interesting side note, we managed to purchase all of the school supplies in one evening at three different stores. Considering the random supplies asked for, and in non-standard colors, I call this a success!

Nightly Prayer and Other Musings

Now, in bullet point style!

• Each night, I pray to God that I don't screw up Boy Pop's life.
• Today, I took Boy Pop to get a chicken pox vaccine (new requirement to enter school).
• I hate taking him to get shots.
• Because he cries.
• Which hurts me immensely.
• So I took him to get ice cream afterwards.
• He ate ice cream at 10:30 AM.
• I didn't.
• I should get a medal.
• Because I love ice cream.
• Especially chocolate drumsticks.
• And now there is a box in my freezer with three more in it.
• On the way home from the doctor's office, I was flipping through channels to find a good song.
• Boy Pop made me stop on a Pink Floyd song.
• Because he thought it was cool.
• My kid loves music, but only the music I'm not totally enamored with.
• But he loves Flyleaf.
• And so do I.
• They are from just up the road.
• And for being a frequent artist on Sirius's Octane channel, one would never know that they are actually a Christian band.
• But they are.
• They announced it at either ACL Festival or South by Southwest this year.
• I have yet to purchase a single school supply for Boy Pop.
• But he has an awesome ATA backpack.
• Hope it lasts.

The countdown begins...
