Sooooo....all that happened!!
WOW...I guess it has been a little while...Ok, OK....it's been a really long time. I guess that's what happens when life presents itself!
Six years, 2 marriages, 2 graduations, a new grandson + 3, and a 2nd grader!
Whew! So, starting with child displacement...I can definitely say....I DO NOT LIKE IT ONE BIT! One in Minnesota and one in Ohio..soon to be Pennsylvania. No, not cool. Grand Rapids for one of the couples is OK..that's only 3 hours and 15 minutes away...do-able...but c'mon...different states..ugh! To know me, is to know that I don't travel...don't really care for long drives...not sure why, I just don't. I suppose it's from being a stay-at-home mom for so many years, that I just hermit-tized! I know, that definitely is NOT a real word, but yeah!<---definitely a="" but="" describe="" feeling="" font="" it="" nbsp="" not="" only="" s="" the="" to="" way="" word="">
Oh, yes, 2 more of the kids leaving the house this fall to head to college..**enter tears**..I can't even fathom yet how sad I will be on August 25th...I mean, yes, I'll still have Zita home with me, but she will be the ONLY child at home now. Do you even realize how long it has been since this house has been a one-child home???? At least I have 11 years until she graduates! I had BETTER be getting more grandchildren in the future!
I have a new bestie! This is one thing my life has lacked for many years. Don't get me wrong...I have a lot of friends, but I haven't had anyone that I could really call my BEST friend...she makes a section of my heart happy in a way that it hasn't been since high school. She's the "Talls" to my "Smalls", I feel a little empty when she's gone. It feels good to know that people are honestly surprised when you're NOT together somewhere! A best friend is, indeed, a rare gift!
So, as I stated earlier, Zita is now in 2nd grade! She is an amazing child! Yeah, I know, I'm her parental...I'm a bit biased..but that's ok! :) She loves school! She loves to read! She even loves math (her father's child there!!). She started piano lessons this past year...she LOVES it! Her siblings are curious as to which instrument she will pick once she gets into band..she is leaning towards Trumpet or French Horn. I would like it to be trombone...but one thing is certain...NO CLARINET!! Sorry to all you Squidwards out there...I just know that I would not be able to handle all the honking geese! She could follow in her brother, Dominic's shoes and play 3 different instruments in band. However, we will have to wait until 5th grade to see which she actually chooses to start with! Another thing this child loves is Legos! I have to admit, I love them right along with her! (They're a good math teaching tool, too! Just sayin') We will be heading to Legoland again sometime this summer...I can't wait! Oh yeah..she can't wait, either :)
I feel so scattered through this whole post..but, it HAS been 6 years! Hopefully the next one won't be too far off and a little more composed.
Y'all enjoy the first day of summer!!
Love ya :)
