Gearing Up!

Here we go do you all think I can do this…? This will be my first ever blog entry, someone let me know if I’m doing it wrong…

“Gearing Up” that title serves double duty today. I am gearing up to start this new blogging journey and the summer ahead. We have two more days of school, which I am sure will be super busy. Dylan has a “graduation” ceremony on Tuesday. Which frankly I find a bit odd, I don’t remember graduating from anything that young. I mean for real, he is going to have a cap and gown and flip his tassel and get a diploma and all that jazz. Is this odd to anyone else? Maybe it is just me, or maybe I find this all so hysterical because I am secretly having huge anxiety over all this. I am fully reassured by teachers, family and even strangers that Dylan is ready for this, but am I? This whole kindergarten thing has brought back a whole flood of emotions for me. I distinctly remember the feeling in the pit of my stomach as I walked up to school that first day (although it may actually be first grade I remember) and I feel it all over again now for him. My dear sweet boy will walk through those doors in the fall and leave me for a whole day and I just don’t know what I will do with myself.  Am I more worried about him or me…is that totally selfish?

Well anyway, we will get through it as we have every other struggle we have faced. And hopefully all that free time coming my way will help me to keep up with this new blog thing. I promise you I will try to keep it fun, intersiting and maybe even informative. You all have permission to kick me in the butt if I don’t. I have to send a big thank those of you who have requested this and inspired me to attempt this new venture. So, from us 2 u, a big thank you!
