Memories.....

...like the corner of my mind. Precious watercolored memories....."! Ok, so I'm a little sappy this morning. My little girl now will not even let me call her my "little" girl--in public anyways. I have to call her by her name or I can call her my "big" girl.

As you know, she turned 6 a week ago today. She has lost two teeth, and now she thinks she is a BIG girl! :) I guess she is. I just can't believe how much she has really grown in the past couple of years. I remember the first day I took her to daycare (ok, it was really just my mom's house because mom was watching kids at her house at the time). I cried the whole way to work. I called my mom and threatened to quit my job so that I could be at home with Chasity.

Last year was hard. She started Kindergarten. However, it's not so bad. We adjusted. She was awesome! This year, I'm a little misty-eyed because I can't believe that she's really 6 and in the first grade! She walked in (of course so did her dad and I with all the school supplies) and went straight to her classroom. Her teacher greeted her and said, "I have a test for you. You're first test is to find your desk." So that was easy.... it had not been moved since Open House last week. So she went straight to it! :) Whew! She passed her first test in first grade! Of course, I have lots of pictures to put in the scrapbook of her going to her first day of Kindergarten. I have about 1/2 as many of this morning. Eventually (probably in Middle School) I'll only get one or two shots of her, but.... that's ok with me!

She'll always be my little girl! And I'll always have these great memories of her!



Until next time........

I was going down memory lane with a co-worker about my "little girl". You see it was her 23rd birthday on 22 Aug and with school starting, I had a "remember when" moment. She was wearing pink Osh-Gosh or Kosh or whatever they call them jeans with a pretty matching white top, brand new white sneaks and matching socks and a beautiful smile. Her day care fixed her hair (big hair, I might add) and she went running for her bus and tripped. The daycare owner's husband had mowed grass and it was slippery. Her new sneaks were now green and white, but it did not delay her smile or excitement one bit. I cried, lol (after she was out of sight of course). So, I feel you and it will get better. just wait until your little girl starts driving herself to school, oh my!

I feel your pain too! I have been extra sad since school has started back as well. Girl one will graduate from 6th grade this year. Thinking of that makes me want to cry.

Lynne's comment reminded me of the very first time girl one fell down and skinned her knee. I cried like a baby. It was just a scrape on both knees but I remember thinking that her little perfect legs were not going to stay perfect, lol. Of course it healed with no scar, but still, lol.

Weight Update!!

Last week, I didn't weigh myself because I was sick! Plus, I didn't really eat anything much at all last week. I did, however, register for Weight Watchers online. So I did spend time reading up and learning about the program. Today, I got on the scale. Two weeks ago, I weighed 402. Today, I weigh 390! In two weeks, I have lost another 12 lbs. That makes a total of 26 lbs. so far! I'm excited! Yeah, if you look at the previous post about my weight, it says that I started at 412. Yeah... I looked at the paper wrong. I started at 416. I lost 4 lbs the first week. I lost 4 lbs the second week. I lost 6 lbs the third week. Then I didn't weigh in last week. I weighed in today at 12 lbs down! I can tell it mostly in my pants. I HATE for my pants to be baggy, so I buy them to fit! Yesterday, I wore my black dress pants to church and I had to keep pulling them up. I'm going shopping next Sunday with my mom! I'm so happy! Next Sunday is my bday! So.....

Still Learning

Ok...so I'm always learning something new. However, recently, I have seriously been thinking about something. I want to learn to sew. My mom has a sewing machine I can use any time I want to. Of course, if I really learn to sew, I'd want my own sewing machine! ;) Anyways, I have been checking into classes. I have only found one place in my town that does classes. They offer a 4 week class for $115. That's not bad for a class. But, I'm afraid I wouldn't learn in 4 weeks and I'd need to take the class again! lol Anyways, I'm still looking into it. I'd love to learn. I will one day. However, I've seen some REALLY cute things that I'd love to sew for Chasity to wear! :) Until next time........

NC Weather

Image
In the state of NC, we rarely get that BIG SNOW. They used to be more common.  We used to get one huge snow a year.  Now, we are lucky if we get one every 2-3 years.    However, schools are cancelled, delayed, or let out early for weather all the time here.  We haven’t heard anything today about our schools, but we shall see.    It’s all about waiting to see what happens.  Sometimes, I think that God is sitting up there showing us HIS sense of humor.  He lets the weather people tell us whatever they want to tell us.  Then HE decides to have some fun with the weather.  (That’s just my 2 cents!)   Countdown Updates: 0 days until I pick up cookies!  TODAY is the day! They are still calling for “weather,” but they are pushing back the start time to later today. My scheduled pick up time is 6pm. So, we shall see.  It should be fine. Tony is going to drive me there so I’m not having to do it alone.  Then ...
