So now that I had my one word rampage of the month, I decided to do something I have been meaning to for the past year. My friend Kat http://www.mamakatslosinit.com/ has a pretty awesome blog and she does a little Writing Workshop on it (amongst other things) and I have been wanting to pick it up at least once a week and attempt it. Last night's should have doubled up for the "You're so vain you probably think this is about you" prompt because I had a few e-mails and comments that made me curious about those who didn't write me and were they, hopefully, taking a hint? The purpose behind it was not to accuse but to make aware. No one is always aware of the way they are or the things they do, (or maybe they are and just enjoy being jack-asses, whatever).
So instead for today, I chose 'First Day of School Photos'. Seeing as we just had one of those last week and I did end up writing somewhat about it last night. I may as well put out a little photo delicacy of my gorgeous Bug.
I'm pretty partial but she is pretty darn gorgeous. And was so very excited too. First day of school, new outfit, seeing her teachers, meeting new friends and the very popular, annual First-Day-Of-School-Mommy-Date afterwards to share what happened that day. We have a Mommy Date about once a month but this one is VERY special. I love the first day of school because of how special it is. It's just a momentous occasion that was always about the excitement of the new classes, the people, new and old, the new teachers and the excitement of what's for lunch. Those were what marked my first days of school at least. My mother was never emotionally part of my life, so one of my goals of being a mother is to be present in every aspect of Hannah's life. Stalker is the more popular word for it I do believe? LoL!
So there you have it. Our first day of school photo and a little tidbit as well. Hope you enjoyed! See yah!
First day of school dates are important.
ReplyDeleteThey really are :) First impressions are hard to shake and you always want them to be good. I have more fun doing the first day of school thing with my Bug than I ever did as a kid with my mother as she had nothing to do with me and being involved.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is a KNOCK OUT! Keep her on a leash and/or a cattle prod to keep the boys off down the road! :) I'm so glad you liked my post and I think I'll keep you for my very own too. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't remember doing a lot of first day things growing up other than getting shoes and clothes.
ReplyDeleteI got carried away with JDaniel's first day this year.
I love your "Stalker" comment. I'm trying to grab every minute too! It goes from first day of grade school to the first day in college so much faster than I believed people said it would.
ReplyDeleteSupahmama!--Thank you :) I am very unsettled about the prospect of dating later. I almost wish my dad had instilled a no dating law just because it would have saved me loads of trouble with the male race. But then again, I wouldn't have learned certain lessons, made as many awesome memories and wouldn't be so scared now, lol. We will by the time she turns 16, own very many guns. And a taser maybe, lol.
ReplyDeleteJDaniels4's Mom--I'm glad to hear! He'll have many fun memories of mom going all out and will hold onto those more than you know :)
Preppy Girl--Before I had kids, time dragged, now it feels as if time flies by faster than we can even think about it. It makes me sad to think that soon I will be dropping her off at a dorm and kissing life as I know it, goodbye. Then again, perfect time to begin the vacation portion of life, hehehe.
