A state of readiness
I was on fire today. No, not literally. None of my body parts was physically engulfed in flames. I just mean I was on fire. Highly productive.

After work I raced home and changed into jeans, a long sleeve shirt, and a jacket. And for kicks, I wound my new, way-too-long-softest-material-ever scarf around my neck. Then I walked up to church/school to watch my kid play soccer and my husband coach.

Got the call over lunch to go pick up my girl at school. She made it a half day, and then just couldn’t go anymore. We figured something was wrong this weekend when she got up Saturday morning, ate breakfast, and went back to bed. She never, ever does that. Sunday was a lazy day around the house, and while she didn’t quite seem herself, she did seem much improved. This morning she was nearly 100%, but I think kindergarten just wore her out faster than normal.

Hmmm. Okay. I think at this point brief (okay, maybe not so brief) bullet points are in order to get us all caught up.

Our air conditioning broke Saturday. So I started cleaning out my house Sunday.

Yesterday, we went to a morning mass because it was Packet Sunday. This is the Sunday before school starts, and after the 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. masses parents can head over to the music room in the school to pick up information for the coming school year. I was very excited, and a little nervous, as I had been warned by veteran grade school parents that the packet is rather intimidating and requires hours of work and multiple checks.

For me, anyway. I dropped her off for the last time at preschool today. M takes her on Friday as I’ll be in KC on business again. That’s probably a good thing since I burst into tears upon leaving school this morning. I called M, sobbing. He laughed gently, and made me laugh, and predicted that I’ll be a complete mess Thursday when she starts kindergarten.
All I keep thinking about are big steps in her life. The day she was born. The first day she walked. The first day of preschool. Where did it go? And will it ever slow down?
Even if it doesn’t, I’m just happy I’m along for the ride. “Parent” is the best job title I will ever hold.

I grabbed the pile of invitations and Zoe’s new school calendar off my home desk this morning and brought them into the office. I need to plug everything into my work calendar, which gets boosted to my phone, as that’s the only way to keep my family on track.
