Whew ... we made it! Everyone is at school - even Aiden - and having a good day. I got to check in on the big boys when I was filling out paperwork for Aiden and they seemed to be doing okay. Cooper had sweat dripping down his face from recess (it's almost 90!) and Jackson's stomach ache of earlier had passed (I'm thinking nerves).
I was worried Jackson's birthday might get passed over because of it being the first day but sure enough, his teacher and principal remembered and he got a moment to give his treasured Johnathan Rand (specially signed by the author to Wacousta Readers!) book to his class. We had cinnamon roles for a birthday breakfast and we'll have waffles and sausage (a request of breakfast dinner for the birthday boy) before we head out to football practice this evening. Jackson ordered up a key lime pie as well - so we'll try and fit that all in tonight!
Now I'm turning to myself and looking to build a list of work I can create and/or generate through the few contacts I have and maybe a little cold calling (yuck!). I will be posting a list of goals for the year (yes, I go by school years not chronological years :-)) here in the next few days so that I can better organize my thoughts and get myself moving. With my three beautiful boys in school for at least 4 hours of the day I'm off to the races to try and build a freelance writing business. Hopefully I will be able to build on the work I've done in the last nine months and get somewhere!
Funny, time goes so fast. I remember thinking last fall that I needed to really try and build my portfolio and get some things going so that I could stay busy while the boys were gone. I can't believe the time has come.
