Enjoyment of Writing a First Post

This is my first time in actually doing a blog the way I want to. I have done a blog once for a class that I was taking, and I thought that it was pretty neat. We even used this same site for the class blog exercise. So, please just bare with me as I get re-adjusted to doing this.

This past Monday was my daughter's first day of school. She was so excited about going. I got her up and gave her her shower and then got her dressed. Then I fixed her hair the way she wanted it. She wanted five monsters (that's what she calls ponytails...). So I parted her hair into four sections and put each section into a ponytail. Then I took all four sections and put them together to create the fifth one... After I was done doing that, she wanted me to paint her finger nails. So that's what I did. She chose the color purple and that's what she got. So, between her new outfit and new shoes, her hair done up, and her nails painted, she felt like a princess. And that she most defiantly was.

On her first day of school, I was pretty antsy. I was busy keeping myself busy so that I wouldn't break down and cry knowing that she was on her way to being that independent girl that she so wants to be. She's growing up on me and I'm not sure I'm ready for that...

Today is day three that she's been in school. As the time goes by, I feel more and more lonely that I did before. I'm so used to her being her and making so much noise and now it's so quiet and I don't know what to do with it... But I'll adjust. It's always going to be hard the first week or so while you're adjusting to someone that is new or that hasn't gone on for a while. But she's adjusting great. She wakes up each morning and is ready to get ready for school. Ready to ride that big yellow school bus. Ready to meet up with the other kids in her class to learn. Ready to face the school day..... And each morning she does that, I can't help but to smile. She sure is making her mama proud!!!
