Go Me. Go Me. It's my birthday. It's my birthday.

I told you I LUV birthdays. I really do embrace getting older. As long as I am wiser. If I'm like, "duh. uh. what did i learn today?" then I've got a BIG problem.

But this year, I've become wiser this past year for sure. I think though, I've become wiser in that I'm looking forward instead of behind. What a year this is going to be. I'm really looking forward to filling the days between now and my next birthday. I've got some goals. Always do. I'll post about those later.

Big Girl Bus Rider

My little girl just went and grew up. Her first steps onto a school bus. Wow. And now I'm a member of the PTA. Double-Wow.

All-day kindergarten has its perks - most importantly, it has taught me how much she means to me. How quickly I wished her away when I'd hear, "Mmmmmooommmmmm - I'm booored. What now?" How much I'd give to have more time with her now.

Take the time to give everyone a hug today. I couldn't wait to see her face this afternoon. Anxiety overload waiting for the bus to pull up after a long day of wondering, what is she doing? She has taken the first of many itty-bitty steps that will eventually lead to her leaving the nest. For now, at least she's still my baby birdie. I will hold onto that more now than ever.
