My oldest daughter will be entering middle school on Wednesday, Sept. 1, 2010. A new chapter in her life and mine. Her and I went to her school last week to get her schedule, pay the fees, check out her classroom, find her locker and put all her supplies in them. I can honestly say I am not ready for this, I am not ready for this next chapter, but I will try to remain strong and not let her see how it's breaking my heart that the little girl I once knew has grown into a mini version of me. School is not easy for her, but as long as her and I are together the two of us can do it together. Last year it felt like I was back in school again relearning everything I did back in the day. I don't know how many times I went to the computer to look things up to see exactly what her homework meant, now on Wednesday we will began that all over again. Some parents are happy when their children go back to school, I am not one of those parents. I love when my girl is out of school.
Fall is approaching and it is my favorite time of the year. I love the change of color in the leaves, I love the cool crisp days, I love the decorations for Halloween. I love the idea that I plan to make caramel apples with my girls for the first time. I know I could do it now, but something about doing them as the leaves are falling from the trees and we're bundled up in sweaters just makes it seem more fun to me. I can't wait to take Addison to her first pumpkin patch this year and see which pumpkin calls out to her and she insists on having. I love fall.
I want to do more as a family, but I can never think of what to do, that is my problem, I have no imagination and it really bothers me. I want to go away with just my girls. Lock ourselves up in a hotel for the night, order pizza and watch tv and when I mention this to my family somehow they invite themselves and now I'm looking into going away with them. I want to make memories for my girls, I want to start traditions and as much as I want it I never do anything about it. I love my family and I'm glad that I have them, but sometimes I just want to make memories for my girls with just me and them. Life moves so quickly and I don't want to miss a second of it.
At the end of October Addison will be making her first trip in a airplane; we're going to Disney World to celebrate my birthday and because I want to go and check out their Halloween party and decorations. I'm excited to go, but I'm afraid of how Addison will be on the plane. I hope everything is ok and she enjoys it. Honestly, I hope she sleeps on the flight and it's smooth flying for us. Addison has learned how to scream for what she wants so I hope we can keep her entertained because I'm sure those on the plane are not going to be too happy with a screaming baby.
Well, this has been a rambling entry and now I must go.
Until next time.
