Summer…

is winding down.  Granted, there is about three more weeks of summer left but you can feel that autumn is starting to move in.

We’ve had our highs (Michigan City vacation) and we had our lows (Eric’s unemployment status).  Diego will be starting kindergarden in a week :) and Mia will be losing her playmate ;(

Diego will be starting a new soccer league today.  Two times a week practice for ten weeks and games on Saturdays for 8 weeks.  I hope it doesn’t get to cold by the beginning of November.  I am sure he’ll have fun regardless of the weather.

I will probably start planning Mia’s birthday party soon.  We think it will be on November 7 and I am debating Dora or Backyardigans theme.  Very important decision you know.  I’ll figure it out.

It has been a wonderful summer but my favorite season is coming.  So many things to look forward to: school starting, my birthday, Halloween, Mia’s birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas and much, much, much more.

25 days…

Until the first day of school! I still can’t believe Diego is going to kindergarden. It is what it is. *sigh*

We have pretty much bought all the school supplies from the list (just missing a pack of dry erase markers). We just need Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer, tissues and paper towels.

I have ordered his uniforms and just waiting for them do be delivered. Not a big fan of him wearing a uniform to school but it does same me time and money on buying any other types of clothes. He has to mostly wear a white shirt and navy blue pants/shorts. What bums me out is that I can’t really buy him too much regular clothes. Oh well!

I think we are ready for kindergarden and I think Diego is too. Bring it!

sad day…

I found out that Eric lost his job today. After twelve years of being a loyal employee. I really thought it was going to happen to me before him so I feel guilty about that. He did not do anything wrong. It just did not work out.

Eric will survive this. He will find a better job at a company who wants him.

We will be fine. We will survive. We will become stronger because of this.

Tomorrow will be another day.
