Gearing Up
I'm gearing up for Sara's first birthday. It's only 5 days away!! I'm still in shock that a year has flown by so quickly. I feel like her first year has gone by the quickest out of all 3 kids. I don't like it.
I'm gearing up for Jack being finished with school. We had a preview about a week ago. He was off for 5 days straight. Oh brother. If that was any indication, it's going to be a loooong summer. Time to start scheduling some playdates!
I'm gearing up for really buckling down on the catering class. I've been very lax with it, but it's time to buckle down and work hard on it. The hope is by this time next year, to have some sort of business plan set up and hopefully I can begin to get some gigs. One or two a month will be great for us, so I'm hopeful.
I'm gearing up for my boy to turn 5! And kindergarten starts in September! It seems like just yesterday, I was poking Greg in the side in the wee hours of the morning on July 7th, 2007 telling him that I was in labor (and him refusing to wake up). How's it's 5 years later, I'll never know.
I'm gearing up for pseudo-homeschooling Emma, come fall. She doesn't meet the age cutoff for public preschool, so I'm going to go through Jack's preschool lessons and make them into lessons for Emma. I was also thinking of joining ABCMouse.com for her. I was part of a focus group for it, before it opened and I really liked it, so I'm hopeful she will, too.
I'm gearing up for a move this year. It's going to happen. It HAS to happen. Whether we sell, or rent this place out, we cannot and will not be here come the end of the year. We've had a ton of showings, but no bites. A potential opportunity has come to our attention so we are hopeful that it goes through, but I'm trying not to get too excited over it...(but it would be great for us). We just don't fit here anymore. That's what it comes down to, and so it's just time...
...especially since I am gearing up to be a mother of 4 come the end of this year. Yup, I'm pregnant. Again. I'm not due until the very end of this year, but it's happening. To say that this was a surprise is the understatement of the year. I will state, for the record, that the timing sucks. I will state, for the record, that I've spent the past 10 weeks in denial and very angry and sad. I'm very sick, and tired and functioning on a daily basis isn't easy, especially with the 3 amigos running around. I wasn't going to say anything about this for a little bit longer, but it's starting to become a bit noticeable, so it's getting hard to hide (and ignore). We've talked about adding #4, and decided to shelve the conversation until the end of the year, and now, coincidentally, that is when he/she will be here. Do not get me wrong, I LOVE my babies, and this baby will be no different. I firmly believe that I was made to be a mother. I'm just not thrilled with the timing, not thrilled with having 4 kids in 5 years, not thrilled with having 2 kids in diapers (again). I can assure you that I'm not 'crazy', I'm not a "baby making machine", I do NOT have too much time on my hands, and making babies is NOT my hobby, so please don't tell me to get a new one. Some of you reading this have known from quite early on, and I thank you for not spilling the beans. I am slowly and surely climbing out of my funk, some days are easier than others, so I'm okay with people knowing now.
So, it promises to be a busy year. We are gearing up for so much. Here's to hoping all transitions go smoothly. Hehehehehehe. I know. Funny, right?
