The First Day of the Next Thirteen Years

Tuesday, August 24, 2010


Today is Reagan's first day of school. I am so excited about his new adventure and eager to hear about all he learns in Kindergarten.

Reagan is off to a good start.

  • He had a breakfast of Cheerios while watching his favorite show on tv--Phineas and Ferb.
  • He's wearing an outfit that I picked out with shoes he picked out.
  • His backpack is filled with a new pencil, a bookmark, an afternoon snack, 2 Lego knights, and Ted (of course!).
  • His Mystery Machine lunchbox is packed with a healthy sandwich, fruit, cheese stick, and a special Oreo treat.
  • Pictures were taken to document this important day.
  • We drove up to school and all walked into the building to the Kinder drop-off area.
  • There was a quick kiss "goodbye".


Now I'm counting down the hours (only six more to go!) until I get to see my baby...


Hopefully I don't cry all six of those hours.

Perspective

I am going through some pretty crappy stuff this week. And although all of this "stuff" comes from something I did, and I am dealing with feelings of anger, "why me?", and unfairness.

And then I have this blog brought to my attention.

And I think again about how blessed I am--God loves me enough to make me Reagan's mom, David's wife, a sister, and a daughter. We have the opportunities to go on great vacations, live in a house in a great city, buy a great new car, etc.

Not to mention we are healthy.

Dear God,
Thank you.
Amen
