Today I got yelled at for not updating my blog... Thanks Jami! But you all know what a procrastinator I am. Some things never change. So I figured I'd come on and share my news... No deep thoughts today, I'm too tired for them. So here goes - updates on our status:
Me = happy, tired, adjusting to the single mom thing, crazy in love.
Maddie = doesn't like first grade says it's too much work and not enough play, doing really well, wants to do cheerleading again, great big sister, very protective of her brother, exceedingly dramatic, super smart, a little lazy (sadly, I think she gets this from me).
Cobby = likes preschool, going to Sesame Street Live with his class tomorrow, mouthy, testing me all the time, a sunny and happy child... He's such a lover, so cuddly and funny.
Work = busy, but great - very flexible with my schedule... Love my job!
Matt = amazing, wonderful... I thank my lucky stars every day that I finally stumbled into a relationship with someone who is such a great fit for me. It only took about a bajillion years. I can't tell you all how much chemistry the two of us have - I honestly cannot describe it in any earthly words. Can't wait for you all to meet him.
So that's it! Enjoy, and I will try to do better.
