Just Another Day!
~So the day is starting out pretty good. I'm not quite as sore from the tree thing as I was yesterday, and that surprises me since I helped to split and haul the left over wood from the damned thing that could be sold as firewood all day yesterday. I am so glad that it's over.
Hubby is back to work and working long hours this week so it will be a week of staying home and taking it easy, something Baby Girl and I haven't done in a long time. Maybe some movies on tv or something like that in the works? I ready for a good Girls Night with her! Painting toes and doing facials and just bonding. She has become so distant lately and I hate it. I know it's all part of the age that she is but I still miss the talks and the comraderie that we once shared. Parents keep telling me that she'll be like this for a while and then when she is in about tenth grade she'll start opening her heart to me again. We'll see! The boy thing with her is still on hold I guess. We did talk briefly last night about one boy in particular and I think if the boy made a play for her she'd say yes to him. It would definitely put a good friendship with her best bud in jeapordy but I really think she need to take that risk. She can't spend her time trying to be careful of hurting someone else...if the shoe were on the other foot I'm sure the other girls wouldn't think twice about hurting Baby Girl. Been there and done that too many times already. She needs to toughen up a little. My first volunteering gig is on for today at the school. It's an easy one though...just cooking at a cookout for the summer readers that belong to MSBA (Maine Student Book Award). I've decided to wean myself off the school environment this year. PTF can go to Hell and I'll pull back and be just a parent volunteer just like the rest of them. I'm already lined up for the two book fairs that we do but that isn't for PTF so I don't mind doing it. Hubby will be hunting during one of them anyway so it'll give me something to do. Baby Girls Party is still on hold so those of you who think it's set in stone taht it will take place might just have to wait til another time to hear about it. Obstacles! And I didn't realize just how many. We talked about it after school yesterday and she even started putting together a list. Most of the kids on the list will be at the game on that Firday night and a good chunk of them will be at the Cross Country Invitational that Saturday. Then if you factor in weather...Back to the "Wait and See" game I guess. I think that's all I can do. We'll wait and see what the weather is going to be like and then we will talk about who can be here and who can't. I just don't want this to be a "little girls birthday party" type of party. She needs to have one more geared to her age. That's a ways off still so we'll be making some decisions in the coming weeks. I hate planning ahead because those plans always seem to backfire! I did mention just taking a girls shopping trip with a couple of her friends to the new Kohl's instead an she is open to that idea also. It will all fall into place I'm sure. POSITIVE THINKING! I really need to get back to that. So, I guess it's off to Walmart for me this fine cloudy drizzly morning...then to the school to cook in the same drizzle...oh what fun! I may not post this weekend...writers block seems to be everywhere these days. Good weekends to you all and LUVS!
~ You know, if I could get the people I email to read my posts then I wouldn't have to send out all those Emails!
