Back to School....I Am Still Alive (barely)

Andrew had a pretty good week one in first grade. His teacher Miss Shepherd is very positive and encouraging and he only cried once (that I know of) lol. He is growing up so fast. Who knew a first grade boy would be into "skinny jeans?" Should I be worried? He constantly refers to himself as a teenager but luckily does not act like one as of yet. He is still my little sweetheart although getting him to hold still long enough for a hug and kiss takes some doing.

His mother on the other hand did not fare so well. Although my class is beyond cute and has lots of potential I think the lazy days of summer might have done me in. I was SO lazy for three months that a week back at a full-time job just about killed me. Shouldn't this job be easy after 15 years? Hmmmm....I came home from work everyday and had to lay down. No energy for cooking. No energy for walking. Barely enough energy to breathe. Is this part of getting older or am I just supremely out of shape. Seriously considering a gym membership at this juncture because 36 shouldn't feel like 45! Here's to a much less exhausting second week! CHEERS!

I GOT FLOWERS!!!

Really? Seriously? YES YES YES!!! It is not Valentine's Day...I am not sick....and no member of my family was feeling sorry for me!! I actually received flowers from a MAN for the first time in a couple of years! I am one happy, and cautiously optimistic girl. YAY!!
