Time Out

Hey ya'll! Just wanted to let you know that you probably won't be seeing anything from me on here for a little while. August is here in full swing and I am overwhelmed with additional responsibilities for the next week or two. Besides the fact that school is starting TODAY!...I am also doing transcription work for 3 extra doctors for the next week and a half while one of my friends goes on vacation. That means that instead of 1-2 hours of typing a day...I am looking at more like 8-10 hours of typing a DAY! I am already behind by 3 days worth of dictations....so I am certainly not going to have any free time any time soon. As a matter of fact...I shouldn't even be taking the time to be posting THIS...but...I was up till midnight working last night and then back up at 5:15 am this morning working and I just needed a little break. What better than to talk to you guys...my best buddies!
Anyhow...I am bummed that I won't get to blog since Brooklyn is starting school and I already have lots of things to talk about...like her WONDERFUL teacher! (hooray--we got the one we wanted!) but the bad thing is none of her friends from last year are in her class this year. She's pretty nervous about today. I am not feeling too great myself. I don't know if it's all the extra work that is stressing me out or knowing that she is nervous but whatever it is..I can't get these butterflys out of my stomach. This will be the first time she'll be away from me ALL day. Pre-K and Kindergarten were just for 2 hours. She is taking her lunch today since they are having cheeseburgers for lunch and she doesn't like them. (I know....only my kid!) She's got her clothes all picked out and ready and we spent about an hour last night preparing some charts for her so she'll know what to expect at 1)Morning time 2) After school and 3) At bedtime. I will take a pic so you guys can see what we did. I hope this helps to keep us on schedule and organized. In about 23 minutes, her alarm will go off for the very first time and I am willing myself to stay out of there and see if she can do what she is supposed to do all by herself. I would love to go "take care of everything" for her...but I have to let her grow up AND I do need her to be more independent especially during this extra-busy period I am in.
Okay, well...there I went rambling away when this was only supposed to be a quick little paragraph! Ya'll pray for me when you think of it because between school starting, all this work, and all the regular cooking and cleaning ...I am sure gonna need it. On Monday, Aug 20th, all this will be over and hopefully life will return back to 'normal.'
I love you guys!!
