Friday Letters
First Day Of School
Dear Children, You were all so excited to start school this week! I have mixed feelings. Dear Football, you are a little much. Two hour practice every day. Kade is doing awesome, but talk about time consuming. Dear Back to School, You have taken all of my babies! Instead of crying Will and I walked Hazel to school, the rest left us in the dust, I pried myself away from Hazels classroom came home and went to bed. I slept until 1 pm! I was serious when I said I've been tired. Dear Rain Storm, You were intense. Flooding our yards all the way up to the back door. You brought out many living things including Franky and a lot of frog eggs. The kids tried to keep them in the back field. We were trying to fish when it started and ended up soaked. We lost power for awhile, but the kids were entertained with candles. Dear Hailey, I am proud of you for all the effort you put in this last couple of weeks to learn new things. Sometimes that is a hard thing to do. I am also proud of you for coming home from your YM/YW back to school dance and behaving sanely. Last year you were so excited you scared me a little. ha. Dear Ranch, here we come! It has been too long, I am going to enjoy your beauty in many forms. I love being able to share this love for you with my children. Dear Will, Happy Birthday! We will be at the ranch, but I hope you have fun and I hope that you feel loved and know how special you are to me. I hope you like your gift too. I Love You! Dear Self, I think I am going through withdrawals having my kids at school. Why is the house not clean, and the laundry not done? Don't fret it will still be there tomorrow.
