School days..

Where has the time gone?? I swear this child is growing up much faster than I did.

In the weeks before school started, I was very nervous at how she was going to do. She didn't want to talk about it, she didn't care her Aunt Mandy would be a teacher, she didn't care she would meet other kids. As the time drew closer, her attitude changed a bit. The night before she couldn't sleep because she was nervous, but the morning of she was a champ. She got herself dressed and never looked back.

How was I??

Take a look at my face...

I was a blubbering mess.


I tried SOO hard, but anyone who knows me knows there isn't a milestone in Cayleigh's life I don't get emotional about.

Someone else has his feelings a bit more in check. :)

and the one who you'd think would be the teary eyed one, was most certainly not.

She insisted on this outfit and mainly these shoes-my little fashionista in the making! :)

We dropped her off and the teacher shooed us out before we could give a kiss and hug, but as I was walking out(yes, the tears came as soon as my foot left the room) I looked and she never even looked back for us. Heartbreaking to a momma, but also comforting to know she wasn't upset we left.

She is almost 2 weeks in and she is doing great. She goes 4 days a week, 4 hours a day. We haven't had one tear shed since, and she absolutely loves it. They say she is one of the most behaved kids in the class, which is astonishing to me, as behavior wasn't always her strong point at our house. I am SO proud of her and thankful we waited to 4 years old because it seemed to be such a great fit as she just seemed ready.

10 is...

I decided to pop back into my blog and reminisce, and boy is it sad. All of my pictures are gone, thanks to a company wanting $400 to publish them. At least I have my words...On that note, I thought I'd write a bit of what 10 looks like: -Eating a bowl of cereal and a pop tart EVERY morning -Really starting to cooking unassisted. She made a 2 layer cake this week and thanks to a 2 hour delay I got pancakes. Teaching her to cook has been pretty cool.  -Begging me for a cup of coffee because she wants to be grown up. I let her have 1/2 a cup here and there-they say it stunts your growth. I say she is 5 foot 2 inches now so that's a lie. -Texting her friends and playing computer games with them as much as she is allowed. -Watching Hallmark movies day and night with me and Marvel movies with her dad. She is well rounded. -Still loving soccer, but recognizing that sometimes coaches can take away the sparkle of it. -Being 5'1" and wearing a bigger s...

Black Bean burritos

We have really been on a mexican food kick lately. We have mexican at least twice a week, and the only downside is that Cayleigh isn't a huge fan, though she will eat quesadillas and now randomly has a new love for salsa. Lord, don't ask her to eat a chicken fajita, the world may end. Tonight's dinner was Black Bean burritos. I used this recipe as a base for my burritos, but did change it up a bit. Here is what I used, I will put in bold the changes I made: 2 (10 inch) flour tortillas (I used 4) 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I only used 1/2, and used mostly pam) 1 small onion, chopped (I used a purple onion) 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 teaspoon minced jalapeno peppers (I used fresh) 3 ounces cream cheese (I used half a block) 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro I added a half a piece of chicken breast-it goes so much farther with beans Also added a handful of cut up fresh cher...

And the verdict is.....

Sinus Infection. I went to the doctor's today after work and he said I had a pretty bad sinus infection. In my experience, it is definitely my worst one of my life. My head hurts, my eyes are super red and irritated from the sneezing and blowing my nose a thousand times a day. Oh and my throat is scratchy and my ears are aching. I hate being sick. I hate going to the doctor's. I hate taking medicine, particularly medicine with no coating on it that are the size of my pinky finger. It is still raining, with no real end in sight. Hmm...anything else I can complain about? I want to keep it all in this post and just get it all out now so I can get over it! Well there was the fact that my doctor prescribed me eye drops and when I went to pick them up, it was $50!!! Forget it, I will suffer. I will take my $7 generic antibiotic and suffer with red, sore eyes. Ok, enough for today. I promise to be brighter when I am feeling better.
