I am the parent of a teenager....how did that happen? With Tyler turning 13 our family is entering a whole new stage and I am equally excited and freaking out!! I was out shopping today and everyone I ran into and stopped to chat with I told about Tyler turning 13...it was as if I had to keep talking about it so I would believe it. There is so much ahead for Tyler....new choices, new friends, maybe a (gulp...) girlfriend, new adventures. He is such a good kid, I am very thankful for that, and I have confidence he will be able to ride the waves and take the good with the bad.
June has been greeted with cheers from my house. Tyler's birthday means the countdown to the end of school has begun and we are all ready. Tomorrow I finish up our Nursery School program at work and then I am on a flex schedule until wrapping up at the end of June. I will be saying good-bye to a couple of families tomorrow as the children get ready to head off to Kindergarten...there will surely be a few tears shed by me!
I read a great post today by Denise and it was like she knew what I was thinking about this whole blog stuff and facebook. There are several blogs that I like to follow and some I read everyday but I very rarely comment. After reading Denise's words I just had to comment...and she sent me a comment back!! (Thanks Denise, you probably noticed I am quite lonely around here!!) Anyway, the whole idea that we spend so much time to make things seem perfect has really been bugging me. I have deleted many blogs from my favourites list because I found myself feeling bad after reading the entries...like I wasn't worthy or living a grand enough life. Shouldn't sharing be more about being honest than being better than? Don't get me wrong, I don't want to read all about everyone's crap all the time (I have enough of my own to deal with!!) but what I do want is honesty and understanding. I want things to be real, I want to give suggestions and support and recieve the same. I started this blog for myself...a way to journal and keep track somewhat of my life. I think I have kept is a bit of a secret because I was scared it wouldn't measure up...to what I don't really know. I feel like today I have found some motivation to post more and be real...I am excited to see where it leads me.
My tea is done...time to get to bed.
Cheers to a great day tomorrow.....
