Well, it's been 6 months since I've written anything. This has been a busy year. I started substitute teaching. I missed my kids. They were funny 6th graders out to prove something then. Now, I don't even want to publicly mention what I think...
My own little G's have grown up so quickly. 1, 4, 5. Gabi has asked for an iPhone, Facebook page, and email address. Nevermind that she isn't a fluent reader. She will be. Then Cameron came for the summer. That did it! She thinks she is the same age as big brother, who by the way is 13 and looks 17!
This summer we have made peanut butter fudge, painted and colored our way through countless packs of construction paper, gone to story time and read over 25 books, gone to the water park, the farmer's market, you name it, we've done it! Gabi has gotten over her fear of fireworks got so comfortable she waved sparklers for 2 days-looking like a mini Statue of Liberty. GiGi was not trying to hear it. Gracie is walking, climbing and destroying everything in her path.
So now that the girls are a bit older, it is time for mommy to start doing some adult things again-without them and because I've been home with them a year and a half, it is serious business trying to get them to realize that I don't have to be there with them at all times. This summer has been the worst. 24 hours non stop with mommy. Thank God school starts in a few weeks.
I am starting school myself next month and sub as well. The girls are changing schools. The goal for this fall is Independence. My goal for myself is Re-establishing ME!
