Here we are, first week of September. We are two days into the new school year and so far so good!! I was thrilled to discover that I didn’t need to spend any money on school supplies for Nick! The class shares the supplies which are donated, should any parent wish to donate. I have some pencils and erasers I bought for Nick that I can send in…I have a good feeling about this new school. Nick hasn’t said very much about it but he did say he enjoyed himself yesterday, that was nice to hear! His class is a combined class, grades 4/5 together. I had a chance to peek into his class today when I brought Luke in to meet his Junior Kindergarten teacher and it looked calm and structured in there. Much less kids than your average class which is nice! More one-on-one hopefully. His teacher, a woman around my age, came to the door to greet me while her students worked at tables. She seems really nice. Quiet but friendly.
Luke absolutely loved his class and his teacher seems great! I’m very excited for Luke, he’s going to enjoy school. He’s my little social butterfly, easy-going little dude. Of course he’ll be fine :) Momma on the other hand… not so fine. Sigh. This is like “pre-empty nest syndrome”. I’m letting my youngest little birdy spread his wings and fly out into the big, crazy world! Well, he sees it as exciting but I know otherwise… lol. We were talking yesterday on the way to pick up big brother from his bus stop and Luke told me he wished he could grow up fast and be big like me. Why? So he can make money and buy all the Paw Patrol toys he wants! Hehe. I didn’t want to burst his bubble but I told him it wasn’t that easy- there are bills to pay and families to provide for before grown-ups can spend on themselves. Yup, big, scary world.
Well, something unexpected happened to me yesterday- I was asked out on a date! (It’s been a while. Haven’t been on one since that one guy I met through a dating site in Jan/Feb. ) One of the men who’ve been redoing the roofs in our neighborhood has had an eye on me ;) We’ve spoken in passing, just small talk. But then yesterday as I was walking home with Luke after picking him up from the sitter’s, we pass him on the street and he asks “Can I ask you something?” Sure, I say. “Are you single?” Um, yes. Yes I am. “Can I buy you a coffee sometime?” Admiring his courage, I say yes. He seems like a nice guy. Safe. I give him my number and he asks if this weekend works for me. As it turns out, this is my kid-free weekend so it does work. I’m nervous but kind of excited! It feels nice to be noticed and asked out for once! If there’s anything I hate, it’s a guy asking me how come I’m still single yet never even asking me out himself… SMH… Guys are peculiar.
Well, there’s my little update for ya. I hope not to let too much time pass before writing another!
