Bad Blogger ... Bad, Bad Blogger

So it is official ... I am officially a horrible blogger. I can sit here and make up excuses like - "well, we had a really busy summer" because we really did. But I would be lying if I was implying that I never got on the computer. In fact on most evenings ... I am on the computer - I have a slight addiction to Facebook.

Many evenings I come to this blog in fact ... open it up and sit and stare. I struggle to come up with anything of substance. My promise of one post a week ... yeah, good thing I'm not held to most of my promises!

So, this morning I was up at 7:00 (couldn't sleep) ... no kids in the house ... no work to get ready for ... and I thought it would be a good time to pound out a post.

Kadin has officially entered the world of full-time school. It is his second week and I'm pretty sure he is enjoying every minute. I asked him what his favorite thing about school is so far ... he told me it was the before school program. HA! I think he thoroughly enjoys being able to just play ... one of his favorite past times.

I was actually pretty proud of myself for dropping him off on that first day and not breaking down in tears. On the way to school I was telling Kadin how he is going to the same school that I went to when I was his age. I had one of those life coming full circle moments and as I was talking my voice began to quiver ... it was a bit emotional, but I kept it in check and didn't shed a single tear. My mom was waiting for us in front of the school to greet Kadin on his first day ... I watched him run down the sidewalk into her arms ... it was such a moment. I wish I would've had my camera to capture it in film ... but ... I'm a bad mother and totally forgot to take a single picture on his first day ... oops!

Kadin's little girl friends around here are going through Kadin-withdrawal. I came home for lunch yesterday and I was met with two little smiling faces at the door ... "Is Kadin home?" I felt horrible having to tell them that he was at school ... their little heads drooped down and they slowly walked back into their yard. It's nice to see his "energetic" behavior is missed ...

Bella seems to be adjusting well to life without her brother. I wondered what she would think considering they've been together almost everyday since she was born. Kadin will bring her treats from school ... one day it was half his bag of popcorn ... the next day it was a cookie. I can see how much he loves her ... I hope they are still that close when they are teenagers ...

Today my very best and dearest friend is getting married ... which is why I have no work to get ready for and no kids to force to brush their teeth! In roughly six hours I will be standing at Julie's side as she marries the love of her life ... pretty awesome stuff. Saying I can't wait is such an understatement ... I feel like I'm exploding inside!

So ... I am off to hop in the shower and make myself presentable for the big day ... lots of pictures to come ... if I'm not too lazy to post again!
