Thursday

Busy day at work for me today as I try to figure out my new responsibilities of a program that will be in transition this semester. Overwhelmed to say the least, but reminding myself that I have support and this will NOT take over my life. Right?! I wish Ian could go with me to work tomorrow since I have to talk in front of a lot of people for an orientation...look like I know what I'm talking about, etc. He did such a great job getting up in front of people at VBS and I'm sick to my stomach thinking I have to do the same.

Ian and I had an appointment at his elementary school, Kingswood, this afternoon for a tour. When I came home to pick him up, he told us he didn't feel very well. But, we went ahead with the scheduled tour. He was holding onto my hand for dear life...wouldn't talk to the lady and didn't want his picture taken (I took the camera of course). The look on his face just wanted to make me cry. He did tell me I could go to kindergarten with him (ahhh...thanks bud). I do need to make sure the teachers know to talk about soccer to Ian. He told the lady that he is excited for soccer to start on Monday!!! We will visit the school and actually meet the three kindergarten teachers next Thursday evening. Ian's staggered entry day is August 27 where he'll get assessed and then August 29 we'll find out his teacher. Gavin is also in the mix. I take him on August 26 to meet his pre-school teachers and then he goes with NO parent on August 28 for a quick visit before attending on September 2. So yes...is MOM looking forward to September 2? Nope. I know I should be excited for the big day, but I think I'm more scared than anything. The boys are growing up. Ian will be in school all day now. Wow! Time flies!

Tonight I took mom and Mimi to the salad supper at the Kirk and Mimi signed up to be part of a Circle Group! The two were highlights tonight...everyone coming over introducing themselves and welcoming them to the Kirk. They might need to draw numbers as to who will be in charge of Mimi's transportation to and from Circle Group because so many offered!
