D’s first day of sophomore year is tomorrow . I have no idea where that time went. She modeled her outfit a bunch of different ways until she was happy. I gotta say, she is one pretty girl. The other day she told me when she went to walk the dog some guy honked at her. I wanted to hunt him down and…… I have been fortunate to see her off on her very first day of school ever. Her dad never took the day off to do the same. I do send him pics though .
She did tell me when I checked in with her that she “forgot “ about the stuff she knew about her dad and doubts what she saw was correct. Sigh. I warned her it might come out. I hope it will happen after she leaves for college . That man will get away with everything forever . But it is what it is. I’m trying to keep her in reality without freaking her out.
I had a new recent PR today of #115 for 4 reps on my bench. Im getting there. I went for a 15 mi trail bike ride Saturday. Getting my activity in, that’s for sure. Feels good. I love the outdoors.
A coworker and I were talking about raising kids. She’s married. She feels bigger kids, the harder it is. I actually feel it’s easier! When you are a single parent, especially from the beginning with no help….. I couldn’t leave the house without a child in tow. If I need something from the grocery store, it wasn’t leave the kid with my spouse….. it was pack up the kid, no matter what weather. Everything I did, my eyes were on a baby, a toddler, a preschooler…… it was tough 24/7! Now I can go, bike ride for a few hours and come home. I can run to the store. I can see some friends. Go to the gym. Because she is a good kid. These years are so much easier for me! The k my time I didn’t have my kid when she was a baby was when I was working night shift. It was Really hard. So yeah, I’m enjoying these years where I don’t have to keep my eyes on her 24/7. Easier years for me for sure. I earned them.
Tomorrow after work I’m getting my hairs done. And she will be fine. Dinner is made already. We will talk about her day when I get home.
Next week is her B day. A few celebrationsz on her bday me and her dad will take her shopping ( her favorite activity) and then then one of the eat pizza places in our state. He said he doesn’t “feel like getting the cake she wants” and asked if I could. I said “ sure” whatever .
Beginning of the busy fall season. Pep rally for cheerleading Friday. I can’t wait to see what she taught the little kids. She’s a coach now! Yeah, every year I wish I had a partner for the fall season. One year I did. It was awesome . Best time in our relationship. Anyways I will make it a good one
