Sean's First Day of Pre K


Sean had his first day of school a day after the rest of us.  My dad came early (he comes on Wednesdays to get kids on the bus) because we never know what "Sean" will greet us in the morning.  I had been wondering how the first day would go.  Sean is quite the Mama's Boy, perhaps even more so than the other two boys (may be his age?).  He always needs a cuddle or sugar (kisses) and 9 times out of 10 Jeff and I find him sleeping between us when we wake up.  Reminds me of the early days when Pele' used to do that and we'd wonder how we'd sleep through someone new in our bed.
 To my surprise (and delight), Sean got into the car eagerly.  It did help that I promised to let him play with my phone on the drive.  When we got there though he happily handed me my phone and went to school.  I tried really hard to get him to stop and smile so I could get a first day picture but the only picture he did this for was the one with his lunch box in front of his face... oh well.
Taking him to his classroom, and then leaving him, was just as easy.  He saw Miss Ronna (Ronda) and Miss Kennal (Kendal), found some blocks and started playing happily.  I was so thrilled! I was able to get to my school in time to get some things done and not have the echo of his cries in my ears (nice!).
When I picked him up we chatted the whole way home about his day.  I learned that it was Miss Ronna's birthday and they sang to her.  I learned he made a puddle (don't worry... the mud variety) outside.  I learned he said, "Dear God." And I learned that he LOVES Miss Kennal (though I already knew that).  What a difference a few short months makes.  I still can't believe that he'll be four next month but he sure is seeming a lot older in recent weeks...

    So glad it went so well for you and him. He looks so grown up with his haircut!

So tired...

It's getting to me... I don't know if it's the sleep deprivation or the crazy schedule of being a full time working mom and having four kids at home... but it's getting to me. I am so tired. Last night I was up at midnight with Sean, then at 2:30 with Joe who was sick and threw up, I got back to bed at 3 and slept for 15 minutes until Sean woke up again. I let him cry for 45 MINUTES until I could take it no more, staggered into his room and nursed him. And then I was up before six to start my day which looks something like this.. Wake up, shower, get ready for work prior to kids waking up... (praying that they don't wake up) then waking the bigs who can dress themselves, and getting Zach changed and dressed, then downstairs to make breakfast for three bigs while putting together pump parts to take to school (that were drying over-night), clean up from breakfast, meds for Zach which now include a breathing treatment (from last Tuesday's doc apt), shoes on a...

Saying Goodbye...

Well, we knew this day would come.  Prayed that it would be clear and it was. On Sunday night I laid with Cobi as I have (more so in recent weeks).  He asked to go outside at one point and he was out longer than usual.  I called for him to come inside and he didn't come. I had been cleaning the kitchen and I thought perhaps I had let him inside.  My brain isn't the best. I ran upstairs and to all his favorite places, but he was nowhere to be found.  I grabbed my shoes, wrapped my arms around me and went out to the cold calling for my baby, in a panic.  He came to me slowly from out in the darkness and when we got inside I sat with him, wrapped my arms around him and cried. As promised.  He had told me.  This was it. Somehow I went to school and made the call.  The last appointment of the day was at 5:20pm and since Joey wasn't getting home until 6:00, I took it as a consult and then also booked the first appointment for t...

It's the Honest Scrap!

So some of you know that I have two blogs. This blog- which has reflected on my day to day adventures with my living children, things I love and the occasional "Pause" blog where I remember my angels. My other blog (That I refer to as my 'Pause' blog) has been an entire blog about my angels-a therapy to me in a sense- how they've changed me, restored me and helped me. I have met a huge community of mothers who have lost children and have been nominated by two of them for this Honest Scrap award (for my 'Pause' blog) The idea is similar to the last 'award' I wrote about, my new friends stated in their blogs that: The award is about bloggers who post from their heart, who write from the depths of their soul. In order to accept the award I must nominate seven fellow bloggers as recipients, and then list ten honest and interesting things about myself. So- although I was nominated on 'Pause'- I'm writing on 'Days' because I have sh...
