Back to the grind

It has been quite a while since I have blogged. Funny thing happened; Summer. I was optimistic that I'd blog more often, but I didn't .I got caught up in being gainfully unemployed. I lounged at the pool, went on dates with Hayden, went to the Lake, hung out with friends, drank a bit, went on vacation and generally lead a life of leisure while still getting paid ( I pay myself for the summer- don't start judging the teachers). It was fabulous. I didn't want to go back to school. I wanted to keep doing laundry in the morning and grocery shopping in the middle of the week, etc.
On a date with Hayden, a few weeks ago, I mentioned that I didn't want to go back and that I'd miss him. He turned to me and said, " Mom, I want to go back to school. ( now patting my shoulder) It'll be OK, we will still see each other at night." So, I was consoled by my 5 year old and realized that I was being hypocritical. Whenever Hayden gets sad because something fun is ending, I am forever reminding him that all good things come to a end. If they didn't, we wouldn't realize that they were good things. I could hear my own voice in my head reminding me that my " good thing" was ending. It was sad, but it was over.
So, we are all back to the grind. I am back at school " teaching the kids to read and write", Hayden is back at school, Rob and Hayden started guitar lessons and we are all doing well.
I do have to say that I miss Hayden. Hayden, however, does not miss me. ( I can't imagine wy. I am un, right?)He told me so just last night. He is having far too much fun in school to even think about me. That is a good thing...I guess.
Rob cheered me up by going car shopping the day before school started. I am lovin' my new ride. AND, after my latop died, Rob went out and bought me a Netbook. Also, lovin' it:-) He is a good man. I am thinking abot keeping him around.

Rob is doing the Annapolis ten miler on Sunday-GO Bertie!!! ( He LOVES when I include him in the blog, just ask him;-)!!!

I'll keep cranking out posts...I have much to say:-)
