New Beginnings

Well, here I am again after a long summer.  Sorry that I just didn't feel much like blogging but I'm starting to feel rejuvenated with the start of school.  This has always felt like a new beginning for me with the kids, preschool and work so it doesn't surprise me I'm back in the saddle again.  This summer has been full of ups and downs for me and it all started after my last blog, I realized.  It's been full of family times, hospital visits, sewing, dr. visits, sewing, trips to the cabin, sewing, dr. visits and lots of prescription changes.  Doesn't sound like much fun but it actually was.  Anyway, my inspiration for the blog this morning came as I sat at the computer playing my usual morning games.  I heard the girls next door talking in their driveway, about 8:15 am.  Not knowing exactly when school was going to start, my first thought was today.  As I looked out I saw there were 3 of them, dressed in shorts and with no bookbags, so I knew it wasn't the first day.  The other little girl was a new neighbor down the street and my only conclusion was that this was a trial run.  That made me smile!  I could just imagine Shelly looking out from her house to see how the girls were going to do and it seemed to be fine.  They didn't stay out there too long before they were back in doing whatever they wanted to do for the last couple days of summer.  I'm sure my kids would have balked if I had put them through that routine before it was actually time.  Of course, knowing these girls it could have been their decision.  Anyway, I plan on writing more blogs and whenever I see something that makes me smile, that will be my inspiration.
