Last week was another one of those sad milestone moments as a Mommy. I took Kayleigh for her SENIOR pictures. Can you believe it? The trials and tribulations of the senior year have arrived. We're hitting them head on and Kayleigh is very excited for what is in store this year. The package for pictures arrived in the mail a couple weeks ago. Packages...Platinum? Gold? Silver? And they're HOW much? $55 just for a sitting fee...YIKES! We should be getting the proofs in the mail soon.
The realization has finally set in that we're almost a month away from school starting. I still have not met with the nurse...the principal....the teachers. I get some swirling butterflies when I think about it. I have this scared feeling inside about her being so far away. Her other school was 5 miles from our house and I could be there in 10min. We decided to take a drive a few weeks ago to see how far her new school is away from our house. Its alittle over miles and takes 27 minutes if you go the speed limit. Whew! That throws a monkey wrench into things and we're going to have to be well prepared for any curve ball that gets thrown at us. Another thing I thought about...for the last 3 years, I've driven her to school and picked her up every day. My gas bill is going to double now! I thought about letting her ride the school bus but then we're looking at more issues and she has to be on the bus for an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon. I just can't take that risk! I started getting her packets ready for the teachers so we're prepared when we meet them on August 30th for Back to School night.
Please know I think about you all daily. I'm still reading on Facebook, even though I may not post to everything I see. Love you all bunches!!

You should NOT feel guilty at all. Life has to come first.
I do know what you mean about sitting down to write and then closing it... I do that a lot because either I can't get it to make sense or I think someone will baker act me if I do.
You should know that YOU are the reason many of us are here today. I spent 10 months alone and then I found your blog. Tou were even my first comment ever; I an truly grateful for you leading the way and showing me that I am NEVER alone.
We love you and we will be here when you come back.
Guilt. I know it well. I feel guilty about everything, it seems.
Yours was the first Mommy blog I found where I felt "same". Someone else with a young daughter. Someone who gets it. It's ok to take a break. Really. Go easy on yourself!! And we will be here whenever you come to visit!!
