A new chapter

I could begin with the usual apologies on not blogging as often as I once did. But ... life happens, right? So much has been happening, too. I wouldn't know where to begin, so I think I won't even try.

I registered my daughter for kindergarten, last week. I've been meaning to do this for the last 2 months, and just never seemed to get to it. Finally, I found myself at the School District office. I was shocked to discover tears in my eyes, while I out the paperwork. It was only a sheer will that kept me from bursting into tears. What? Where did this come from!? I got to the car, and called my husband, who was working for a huge client New York City at the time. I could barely get the words out before the waterworks started. My oldest is going to school. I had no idea it would effect me so greatly. We've been talking about it since last fall. A natural progression of things. No problem. Clearly I was wrong...

While it may seem like I've had kids for forever, the reality is that its only been 5 1/2 years. Part of me can hardly believe that I will no longer have both kids at home all day. It's overwhelming. Lately, too, she does more on her own. She likes to get the napkins, butter, etc. when we are somewhere at like Panera or Corner Bakery. This might not seem like much, but trust me when I say it's huge.
