In all seriousness, after i wrote my last post about Throwing in the Towel I felt better. It always feels so much better to just get it off my chest and write all my thoughts down. I woke up today feeling better and decided not to quit my blog. After all, where else can I bitch and moan and not give a crap.
I love to write.
I always have.
My blog is for me. I write for me.
I am OK with just the way I am, and my blog being just the way it is. It’s what I want.
Now that you are all jumping up and down in your seats because I’m staying….you can sit now, I’m gonna switch gears. Today was Hunter’s first day of 2nd grade. He was up and alert at 7am and excited like it was Christmas or something.
He says, “Momma, today’s the first day of school.” As he’s bouncing around in excitement. He gets himself dressed in one of his new shirts and a pair of cargo shorts. He put on deodorant and Axe body spray.
2nd grade.
Brushes his long ass hippy hair. Okay, so its not that long, but he still looks like he belongs on a surfboard in California….we’re in Boston. I have to say he did look so handsome!
But deodorant and Axe body spray?? He smelled like a man. Which of course is what he wants….that’s cool, right? And don’t even say to yourself, well who bought him that stuff? I don’t want to hear it.
My point is, my baby, my one and only is growing up so damn fast. WTF!
About Blondie
yay! im glad you're staying
sheesh 2nd grade is a little early for the axe phase to begin – my 13 year old cousin is fully engulfed in it at all times. i have to roll the windows down when he gets in the car!!
I know what you mean.
Sometimes I look at my son and see glimpses of the man that I know he will become.
I am often torn between being really sad that he is growing up and so incredibly proud of the person he is.
Why didn't anyone tell me that this would be so hard?
Ok I totally missed the Quitting post.. gonna have to find out why it didnt show up on my reader.. and I hear ya.. my baby started 2nd grade too… so sad.. oh, and my oldest started high school… WTF INDEED!!
i insist you get video of this madness to embarrass him with later in life.
so funny!
and I am glad you are stayin sista!
Now Mom! He has to smell good for the girls. How else is he supposed to keep the ones that let him have a few girls!
Oh and I am glad I don't have to wrestle you back into blogosphere although it would be fun!
They do grow up so fast! I bet he smelled so good! lol So glad you're not quitting! We love ya hon!
Hi! I just found your blog and I absolutely love it — so happy to hear you’re not leaving. Your little boy sounds so cute.
I live in Boston too — what a small world!
