Today was a few first for my son, grandaughter, and me. This day started like any other day with the cat howling because he thinks it is his job to wake everyone in the household before dawn. Chores wre done and some homework was completed. I was looking forward to the brunch I was attending for it was a time to have some fellowhip with some wonderful ladies from church, eat some great food ( new recipes were collected yummy), and to make a card or two. The food was excellent, the company enjoyable, yet I did not make a single thing; not even a card. I wish I could say that I did not purchase anything but that would be a very big deal. I love watching and making cards and other crafts when I am at these social events and my collection as well as intentions are great yet I never seem to have the time to do these on my own at home. My children will shake their heads when they see the new stamps and such that I have bought for they know that they will be put into the craft totes thast are already bursting full to be looked at collect dust. I really should confess that I really do take some time to make these creations it jsut is nto as much as I would like too.
The second event that was a first was my granddaughter throwing a loud fit at a store. She is only three weeks old and I have only heard her throw a couple of brief crying spells ( not that I am complaining) yet today at Walmart she woke up mad and hungry and people five aisles could hear her; I was one of them. She created quite the little scene today, so I had to pay for my daughters things while she went to the car and fed the baby. What was so ridiculous is that I checked out and sat inthe car for over 30 minutes while she fed her-I could have shopped more!
The last first is that my son bought his first suit- adlt suit that is. I am not sure why he did for he is 19 and really has no reason to wear one. When I asked him why he just replied "You never know when I might need one." I was surprised how grown up my "baby" looked standing there in the mirror posing with his suit on. I remember when he was in school and I tried to get him to buy a suit to wear to dances and special occasions and he refused; now he owns one. I hope he has a happy event to wear it to soon. I know he is getting ready to leave the nest soon. This young man has taken on the role of being the "man of the house" for a few years. He wanted to go away to college but I couldn't afford it and then when he found out he was going to be an uncle he chose to stay to help out. He deserves to go explore the world and be young. I am torn between encouraging him to go and wanting him to stay so that I can protect him. I know he will succeed and I always lean towards the encouraging him to leave. I so appreciate all that he has done and tell him so.
Well I know these "firsts" were not that exciting but heck for someone like me that lives in a small community a trip to the local Walmart, which is over 30 miles away is like a mini vacation. Man I need to get a more exciting life!
