The firsts.

...I got some grief for my last blog. I guess people don't like being blindsided at work by sappy stories. Really, I didn't think it was that bad. But anyway, this one shouldn't make you weep. If it does, than you are more emotional than me. And that is a feat unto itself...


It was a day of firsts around here. And this momma is TIRED!


1. First day of school EVER for Lily. (She loved it.)

2. First day for me to pick up Lily EXTREMELY late from school. I didn't think Nappanee could endure one more construction crew but somehow I managed to find it at its peak construction hour. I happily sat for 15 minutes at a dead standstill. It was worth it because it allowed me to sit and patiently think about my dreams, my goals, and just life in general. (It is at this point in my blog that I would like to say I wish deeply that there was a font style to convey sarcasm.) What I do know is that I am sure I made quite an impression on her teachers. I might possibly be blacklisted from the good mom club after that one. Not good. Especially on the first day.





3. First day of dance for Lily. (She loved that even more than school.)

4. Lily's first updo which I cleverly called a "bun." (NOT the first time for me to realize that I was not born to do hair.)

5. First indication that I would prove to be a clueless dance mom in the world of the serious dance mom. (Sorry no photo for proof, you'll just have to trust me on this one.)





6. First time I cooked in about 6 months.





7. First time Will claimed he hated "basagna" and loved "basagna" within a ten minute period. (That would be "lasagna," in case you were confused.)

8. First time I heard someone use the word "boondoggle" several times in a five minute period. I won't delve any further on this one. It was just a first for me.





9. First time Dustin turned 30. (Thus, the ONLY reason I cooked. He requested it.) Happy birthday, Dut!

10. First time we had a blizzard ice cream cake. The DQ ice cream cake is a staple for Dustin's birthdays. I think they are so so. Now the blizzard ice cream cake? That was pretty remarkable. I think the one we got was called ooey gooey chocolatey carmely chewy chunky brownie. Or something like that.

And that's all I have for tonight! Hope you enjoyed my new,no more tears formula blog.
