Whos ready for school to start?!

 I AM!!!!! this is school supplies only. We haven't ventured off to do the O so fun school clothes shopping.
 Our little man will be in a head start program this year. He was a planned child and i didn't even think of school and how his birthday falling so late in the year would have effected him :) It saddens me that he will wear this backpack and take his lunch and wear a size bigger shoe. And he will be away from me for 7 hours 3 days a week. But i will manage. I hope i don't find myself circling the block of his school on the days i am really tired of the quiet. Those words just fell out of my mouth. Tired of quiet? It must have been a noisy day around here.

 Our sweet little Jessie will enter the new world of 2nd grade. There are way more supplies in that bag. I used my bed to hold all this while taking photos, and well my bed isn't *that* big. She is all about Smurfs and bright colors and being a little girly girl. I worry about her alot. Her school is just down the road from us, so i guess if i don't want to eat lunch alone i can walk down and eat with her. Walk? Again words keep falling out of my mouth. I would drive to her school after hitting up the Sonic of course.

And then we have the 17 year old entering 6th grade. I mean 11 year old. I have to constantly remind myself she isn't even a teenager yet. Although she feels compelled to feel this house with the nonsense a 17year old would. She will go to the big middle school and be the small fish in a big pond. No matter how much i try to talk to her about how middle school can really be and how there will be so many more kids, more classes, more teachers and the ever so dreaded PE class where you have to change in the locker room and its just all embarrassing. (Well it was for me in middle school.) I try to keep it positive, but we all know that middle school is just the worst part of a humans life. And when i am circling Jaxons school in the attempt to have some noise in my day, or driving to see Jessie so i am not eating lunch all by myself, I will be thinking of Jill and her middle school day. I wont even attempt to step foot in there. If one 6th grader makes me want to drink a strong bloody mary by noon, then why would i step into a school with thousands of them? By noon? Who am i kidding? She makes me want a shot of tequila by 10am! Those dang words keep falling out of my mouth. So, while we still have one more week until school starts and we have the task of school clothes shopping this upcoming weekend.....i better chill that tequila!

Do I really have time for that?

I go back to work Monday. Part of me is ready to go back because one I can only do so much around the house when the baby is sleeping and two I am getting really stir crazy. I honestly thought I would want to be a stay at home mom...not so much...of course I may eat those words when he is a little older and doing more than eating a bottle and sleeping all day!! The other part of me isn't ready for the sitter to tell me...."he laughed out loud today"..."hes holding his bottle all by himself now"..."hes talking!!"....it will break me!! and then the fact that Josh will have him in the afternoons I still will miss out on so much too!! I just keep telling myself....working hard now will allow him to have the things he needs and he will appreciate me for that. Between now and then I want to have a little time to myself...kick my feet up and put that load of laundry off or the sink full of dishes off just one more day....and hold him all day and soak it all i...

Im going to take a break!

This potty training business is for the birds! "He will go when he is ready" is all people keep telling me. My response ..."He does go when hes ready...in his diaper!!" Maybe if we just take a break and not rush it, it will all fall together. Like him sleeping without being bundled, going to nap or bed without a bottle, feeding himself his food with his own silverware. All the other milestones in between that he did when ..."he was ready" Going to the potty is a big deal for kids. This little adventure has been stressful on him. Not just me and Josh. I mean...hes constantly having to take off his pants and diaper, either sit on the little potty or put his seat on the big potty, sit down and get comfortable, make sure everything is aiming where it needs to be.....for nothing! He laughs the whole time he is on there. Except if the seat is really cold. That doesn't make him laugh at all. So for now we are on a break from going to the bathroom all at on...

I've always been a badass!

When I started losing my hair, of course I was certain it would grow back. It didn't. From April 2012 to November 2016 I never went out in public without a hat on. I think I wore a wig 3 different times and didn't like it.  So many times people would approach me asking what cancer I had. If I was in remission. They would look at me and treat me as if I was sick, contagious and/or dying. When I would tell them about Alopecia and how it was a sudden onset, they would either feel really sorry for me or act as if something was terribly wrong. I mean--its hair! Whats wrong with someone if they lost AND cant regrow hair, right? After giving up on Dr's, I decided to get a tattoo. On my head. Hats are hot and annoying. I live in a part of the country that is flat and 50mph winds are considered a light breeze. So imagine dealing with holding a hat on your head as you carry in groceries or hold your sons hand. It got highly annoying. So I wanted to do away with hats an...
