Wow! I can’t beleive it’s September already…Where has the time gone? I’ve been so busy with things that I’ve been neglecting my blog pretty severely and it’s time I get back into the swing of things. Here’s e a quick update on what we’ve been up to lately…
Let’s see…gosh, I don’t even know where to start…At the beginning of August, Darling Hubby and I went on a mini vacation to the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, NY. It was a lot of fun and a very memorable trip…I have tons of pictures that I wanted to share, but I haven’t really had much time or inclination to edit them. We didn’t take Bug with us, as we wanted to get away just the 2 of us. He stayed with his “Auntie Shannon” and they had a great time together. They went swimming in her pool, went to Friendly’s for dinner and ice cream and even went bowling. He talked about everything and her cats for weeks afterward.
On September 1st I officially became a big girl…I passed my road test and can officially drive the roads of NY. Scary! It was something that I should have done many, many years ago and just kept putting it off. The sad thing was that we had to drive 2+ hours back to my home town where I should have taken the test to begin with…it seriously took less than 10 minutes for the test….then we had to drive 2+ hours back home…But, it’s done and I passed. It was necessary for me to get it so I could drop Bug and Darling Hubby off at school and work and pick them up, too, since logistically, it would have been impossible for Darling Hubby to do it all. Actually, it’s been rather fun driving around all alone in the car. I get to pick my own music and I have freedom. This morning I went to Walmart all by myself…it was just to buy dog food, which isn’t all that exciting, but I did it and I enjoyed it! lol
On the 8th Bug started Pre-K. So far he’s loving it and the first few days he cried cause he didn’t want to come home…I’m not sure if it was because he loved school that much or if it was because he loves their awesome playground! In just the past couple days he’s come back with little school art projects…things I could never get him to do at home. Maybe he just needed that extra peer pressure from the other kids doing the projects. I’m thinking school is going to be really good for him and it warms my heart that he enjoys it so much. I’m enjoying having quiet time at home, which allows me to get my cleaning done quickly and not have to worry about ignoring Bug while I scrub a toilet or something he can’t help me with. It’s hard to take care of a house and a kid at the same time…something is going to get neglected.
As for me, I’ve been working on my crochet projects and recently decided to start working on Christmas presents. I want to get a head start on everything this year so I don’t feel like I have to rush. Right now I’m working on a blanket for a certain someone who may or may not read this blog, so I’m going to keep it a secret. Once I finish this blanket, I’m going to start on something for my mom, who I know doesn’t read this blog. I’m thinking of making her a snuggy…you know, one of those blankets with sleeves…essentially a reverse bathrobe. I think it might be something useful for her…maybe I’ll even make one for my dad, too, in nice manly colors!
