More than ever I am needing 5 days in the woods to clear my brain and move on with the start of the new year. New year for most people is the turn of the year in January at midnight...but for me it has always seemed like my birthday was the turn of the new year, and now that I am a mom of school aged kids again it seems like the new year is actually the start of the school year. This year I have quite a big plate. I am getting as active as I can be on the PTA this year. I love being involved with the school and classes and all the incredible things that Christopher is now doing that I remember doing, or hearing about when I was in school. Every day is a new nostalgic journey for me, and it brings me a lot of joy. I am also praying I get to be room mom again, I really loved it last year and I know this year will be even better! I also have Laci starting in school too and it will give me a small break to keep caught up this year around here and get some peace and quiet sometimes. I am as excited for her as she is for herself! Everyday its the same question "momma...I going to school today? I very 'cited!" I am so happy she is embracing this. Seeing her at the tour the other day playing with the other kids and taking a lead right off the bat made my heart happy. She is going to do just fine and I am happy for her. This next week is going to fly by. We leave tomorrow (finally!) and then its 5 days in the cabin in the woods, and then when we get back I have open house for Christopher, working open house for Kindergarten with the sneak a peak day Friday, and a consignment sale, then the weekend, then school! Craziness!
In my infinate wisdom of doing things I wanted to back off of the things to do list to not be left with Thursday dragging by, and held off on everything...well...I did that a little too long and instead of working on stuff yesterday, I spent most the day at the lake with my kids, and Jennifer and her son, and now its Thursday and my house is a wreck, there is laundry to do, and I havent packed the first thing! HA!!! So at least I know today wont drag by. ;) I have a ton to do.
It wouldn't be the Pruitt household, however, if Clover hadnt hurt his leg day before yesterday and is now limping around, and Christopher wasnt on the couch saying he has a bellyache and refusing breakfast. *sigh* Lets pray this is just something small and we arent treating the stomach flu or something while on "vacation" instead of fishing at a cabin. GAH!
Well, tomorrow is me and Brian's wedding anniversary. 4 years has seemed to fly by in an instant. Oddly enough we tend to celebrate our dating anniversary more than the wedding one, lol. I am trying to come up with something special to still do tomorrow even though we will be driving. I am thinking we will get the kids in bed and sit outside and enjoy the sounds of nature with no light but the moon and our citronela candles and just relax and breathe....I am so looking foward to just breathing for a few days....
Christopher is upstairs in the bathroom "trying to vomit" so I guess this will be my last entry until we get back! Happy week everyone!!!
