So, for those of you that were wondering (as I was) what this day would bring seeing as how I have new hair. Let me just tell you how the beginning went and you will get the idea very quickly...
Get up, head to the shower (realize that MY shampoo is in the kids bathroom), finish getting ready (no REAL events), looking for cell phone, looking for keys, find keys and cell phone in my purse (imagine that), leave for school...pretty much the normal BLOND start to the morning.
Head out of the driveway and enjoy the ride to school with the kids. Let me add at this point that I was somewhat melancholy this morning. I mean, it was Ethan's last day of school. The last ride to school as a group...well, we sing, we talk, we laugh, we discuss all of the things that will be going on this week. We are just passing the Baptist Church (which for those that don't know is in front of Jon David's school) when I hear "Mom, we need to drop Jonathan off." I cut into the Methodist church parking lot...I did use my signal and flipped BACK into the street that I should have turned on. That wasn't being blond, really, I was just distracted. We drop him off and start to leave when then something else really funny happened, and I for the life of me just forgot what it is...I am just tired, NOT BLOND...
So, did life change? Not really...I don't think it has to do with my hair as I suspected. I am just a mom, wife, friend, employee and have a lot of things on my mind and should really try to get a handle on that. AND I tend to do things that end up being hilarious in hindsight....so God put me on the earth to make someone laugh everyday...oh well, at least I am doing what I was called to do...
Ethan's last day of school was bittersweet for me. I teared up several times and had to remind myself that this is a good thing. I am so proud of him for all that he has accomplished and know that he will do so many great things in his life. God truly has his hand on him. As I walked down the hall this afternoon and watched this group of seniors leave my heart was filled with so many emotions. This is the group of young people that welcomed Ethan with open arms and hearts in fourth grade. They have become part of our family. We have experienced so many things together and I can truly say that I am proud to have had them in my life. I have learned many things from this group of awesome young people.
Until next time,
Enjoy each moment and capture a memory....
