Mornin' y'all

We've had a busy few weeks around here. Then again, when don't we?

Wyatt and I went to the beach last weekend with a good friend. We had SO much fun. Wyatt built his first sand castle. He was AMAZED when he took the bucket away and there was a turret! At 5 (and a half, thank you very much) there is still so much that amazes this little guy, and I love to watch his face light up every time it happens. I've missed out on so much before, and I feel like God has given me Wyatt to at least make up for it a little bit. I'm definitely trying harder. We went with an old friend, and it's so nice to stay in touch and that we can pick things up.

Today Wyatt has a field trip. The school library is taking the top 10 readers from Wyatt's grade to Chuck E Cheese. Wyatt is over the moon about it. I love that he's getting positive reinforcement from the school for academics. A lot of people have said the school focuses so much on academics. (This IS the South) I've really been trying to make sure he knows that I'm proud of him, and that I believe he can have the moon if he wants it. He's so smart, and he really can do anything. I hope I've done a good job letting him know that.

I have off all week, Dr Jones is in Mexico. So I have no excuse for not blogging! (Well, except I vow to get this house spotless. Really, I will. And I will plant a garden. Uh huh. I'm gonna do it!)
It's hard to believe that in 2 weeks Randy will be back in PA full time. He's up there now tying up loose ends. I get a little nervous, thinking about doing it all on my own again. I know I can do it. It's just a matter of giving myself limits and rules and sticking to them. Like a budget. I DONT WANNA BUDGET. But, I can. And I will. If for no other reason than to prove to myself that I can do it.
