Urgh, I'm exhausted...Miss "I'm Not Nervous" woke us up at 4:15 am saying she can't sleep...Um, I guess you're nervous, and that's okay. I think I'm going to need a nap.

So, she's off for her first day. I almost threw up after dropping her off. I'm a complete wreck! I'm sure it will all be fine.

I've got a list going and already have a few things done...

Princess M up, dressed, fed, make lunch, drop off at school (remember to put card and cookie in her bag)
Towels in washer
Change beds
Sheets in washer
Fold towels
Bills
Link new cartridges to G
1 or 2 sets of cards for swap - got one done, good enough for now
Work on Hugs page - think I've got my final prototype done - will start cutting and adhering on Thursday
Lunch
Fold sheets - nope, they're not going anywhere, I'll do them on Thursday
Find pumpkin pancake recipe? Nope, I had to wing it!
Pick up from school
Library
Homework - None
Dinner - pumpkin pancakes and sausage
Dishes
Bed

Thanks, guys, for the kind words about Miss Blythe!! She is our little trooper!!

I'm with the plan of us all going back to sleep for 3 or 4 hours!! I hope everyone feels better throughout the day!

Jennifer--Morgan is definitely getting good thoughts and pixie dust from me today!! I hope her day goes well (and yours too)!!

Good news was waiting on my phone this morning. My friend from work had her baby! She was due 9/10, but I guessed today in the baby pool! They started inducing yesterday, and when I left, there was no baby at 11p...so I'm thinking I got the bday right!

A raining Tuesday from WA State....

Had a bad night with DD last night, she is starting to get really scared and nervous about starting at her new school next week and had a major spiral downwards. She holds so much inside of her (gets that from me I guess) and it all comes spilling out in one major crushing blow.
I feel like crap, not knowing if I'm doing the best for her in trying to get her ready for her new school. Unfortunately I lost it with her when she started pushing my buttons and we ended up having a huge argument. I try so hard to be patient with her but doing this parenting thing by myself is the PITS!
So much has happend to us since Jim dying in Jan, us moving and leaving all her friends in CA. Its a lot for me to handle, even more for a 10 year old girl (who also started puberty last year).
Our main counseling doesn't start until Oct (thru Hospice) I am going to try to talk to her new school counselor on Thur night when we have a welcome back to school night and make an appt with her once school starts.
Sorry for the vent, but thanks for listening...
So I think today we will just have a PJ day and have some major snuggle time.

Oh Lisa- I am so sorry to hear that- I will make sure to keep Megan in my prayers as she begins school- I know she must be having a hard time with all the changes and that you are under stress from them all too.
