Is it really Monday already? This weekend sure flew by in a flash. It was rather busy though so I guess it is the same as work. The busier you are, the faster the day goes by.
I attended the funeral of a classmate and dear friend's daddy who passed. It was an unexpected death and when I say that, I mean, he wasn't sick, had not been in the hospital, or in an accident. He had a sudden heartattack. I am sorry to say that I really didn't know my friend's daddy but as I heard someone say to him after the service, "I didn't know your daddy but I know you and if you are anything like him, I know he must have been a wonderful man." What wonderful words to hear. My thoughts and prayers are still with my friend and I hope that he is reassured his daddy is in a beautiful place beside our wonderful Father Almighty and he shall see him again one day!
I guess we are all reaching the age where we are realizing that our parents won't be around forever like we did when we were younger. WE may not even be promised another day. We should cherish the precious times we spend with our loved ones, family and friends. Call up an old friend to just say "Hi, I was thinking of you today." You never know when you will get the chance again, if you do.
The rest of the weekend was go here, go there. There will be a new Sunday School class at FUMC for "Young Adults" Yep, that's me! So, being that my mom is head of the SS Education, she and I went to clean and decorate a room that seems to have been used for many years as a "catch-all" storage room. I have to say that we arranged, decorated and knocked a good bit of the dust down. The floors were swept but could definitely use a good mopping and waxing! The wall color has a lot to be desired but we weren't there to paint so that will have to wait until a later date. It is SS participant ready though and will begin next Sunday, September 4. We also have a fabulous teacher who seems really excited for the class to get started. Now...to come up with a name for our class....hmmmm, any suggestions??
Sunday was attend church, chalkboard paint a bulletin board and clip board, spray paint a wicker chair (which I didn't get to), take DB #1 to youth group at the church, go back home and cook something for supper, go back to pick up DB#1, return home, eat, and get things ready for Monday...uggh already?? Really, Monday, do you have to show up so soon??
Yes, Monday showed up all too quickly, just to start the madness over again!! As I dropped DB#2 off at school today, I asked her if she was going to walk in to Kindergarten by herself. Trying to be upbeat and encouraging, I told her she was a big girl and she could do it with no problem!! I really was excited for her! She seemed to have such confidence that she could take the long walk by herself last week. I was the one last week telling her to wait until today. Just a mama not wanting to let go! But today, I was boosting her 5 year old self-confidence all up and although she seemed a tiny bit apprehensive, she got out of the car and proceeded to walk in to school. I was beaming from ear to ear I was so proud and then ... it happened. All the other kids that exited their parents car to walk in were SO MUCH BIGGER than my tiny little 5 year old. My heart broke. I could NOT believe that she, being so small compared to the others, was walking in by herself. I wanted to holler, "Wait!" but I didn't. However, I DID, before I drove out of the school's drive, call one of my greatest friends, who endulged me my "psycho mom" moment, and went to check on DB#2 to make sure she made it to class!! I just had to have that reassurance! My friend sent me a text and said DB#2 was safely in her class and grinning from ear to ear! What a relief! THANK YOU!! My day has moved along much smoother.
Now, I must go. I am going to meet DB #1 at the doctor for his physical so he can particpate in cross country!! A mom's work is NEVER done :)
Until next time......
