Although I still read the blogs of others, I obviously haven't updated my own in quite some time. It's interesting and kinda funny to me that I haven't considering how much more free time I've had to do so. July 1st of last year, I was laid off from my job and have since November been a stay at home mom. Although Wesley does keep me busy and entertained during the day, he wouldn't distract me from updating my blog now and then, but yet I still haven't mustered the will to do it. I'm considering making a goal of writing at least once a month, or once a week if I really want to challenge myself. I'm constantly involving myself in projects, so maybe a blog could be considered a project.
As I sit here thinking about tomorrow when Killian will be graduating from kindergarten, I think about what a crazy and fun year it's been and how much we've all grown. Killian is taking a huge step in his life by graduating kindergarten and moving on from the daycare/preschool we've had him in since he was almost 2. It's a little bittersweet because with Wes no longer going there, it's like a chapter closing. The road to this moment has been a long, sometimes exhausting one, and I'm glad we've all made it to this point. Killian has worked hard to get here as have I, the tutor and it's still surreal for me. My heart is racing a little just thinking about the ceremony tomorrow.
Wesley is now 20 months old, and is quite mischievous. He takes any chance he can to play in the toilet water, dig out every toy he owns, or empty out my jewelry box. And I take every chance I can to get hugs and kisses, smiles and giggles, so maybe it's his way of getting even. But I love being home with him and being able to spend so much time with him, so it's all worth it.
Since being laid off, I've had to deal with a lot emotionally, and finally took the commitment to help with my depression issues. Let me just say, best decision ever. Not only am I not angry as much or not emotional as much, I've learned to be more indpendent and be able to spend time by myself. That, for me, was so huge! I envied other married couples that could hang out with their friends or do anything without each other, because for me that was so difficult. I'm sure it makes things a bit easier on my husband too. I've come up with projects and done quite a bit of things to keep myself sane. I've made lamps, baby shower gifts, finished my belly cast, changed things I've hated in our house, and kept up on the housework more than I ever thought I would.
It's been a good change, and I look forward to seeing where things go from here...
