Challenges

A new school year means new challenges. Challenges in the form of - a police officer being murdered less than a mile away from school, a woman murdered about 500 feet from the school, and a little girl raped by a man who has trespassed on school grounds. Oh yes, challenges indeed. My two little guys in daycare and aftercare when I wish they were me. I really took being a stay at home mom for granted. Getting up at 5:15 every morning is not pretty!! Luckily, I am the Queen of Organization and things run fairly smoothly around here. The counters are covered with crap and the clothes and towels will pile up now that Nana is gone, but we will have meals and be on time!! On the bright side, Nicholas loves his new school, Christopher moved to a big boy room but still gets to be with his favorite teacher, Miss Windy, and I have joined the "Biggest Loser" club at school to finally get rid of this 35 pounds from being pregnant with Christopher. Well, that is if I can stop eating candy and cupcakes for five seconds . . .
