It's back to school time which would usually be a welcomed relief from the craziness of summer with both my boys home. But back to school this year was particularly difficult for me because my youngest started Kindergarten. It doesn't help that Mykah is still very small for his age...he will be 6 years old in December, but he's still about the size of your average 4-year-old. I've cried a little, and I'm still adjusting to being alone during the day... but I refuse to wallow. Instead, I am making the choice to be happy for Mykah (who makes it a little easier by being so excited to go to school). I choose to be excited, and I can't wait to see where Mykah's gifts and talents will emerge and flourish.
Because of the high heat and humidity this week, it's been a big challenge to keep myself occupied... it's just been too hot for housework, cooking/baking, exercising, and even cleaning (although I did manage to take care of a couple of chores that just HAD to be done). Thankfully, the weather is supposed to cool down after today, so that will help.
