I'm still alive...

I am so incredibly terrible at this. I think that's how I started my last post as well.

Lots of exciting things happening in our lives. I have been blessed with the opportunity to become a stay-at-home mom. Today was the first day in my adult life that I have not been employed by American Airlines. Literally. I started there at 19, and 11 1/2 years later, here I stand on the other side of life at AA. Wow. It was hard to walk out the door, but I'm so happy that we've made this change.

I enjoyed my first day at home. Drop kids off at school, a trip to the grocery store, laundry and house work, playing with Alex, cooking dinner, cleaning the kitchen and now enjoying my family. Those are the days that make me tick.

Tomorrow is Bella's field trip to the pumpkin patch. I'm so incredibly excited to get to go with her! Then Wednesday-Friday are fall break. And next Friday is her fall party at school. This will be her first school party (including preschool) that I've been able to go to. Needless to say, I'm beside myself.

Tomorrow after the pumpkin patch, it's dance lessons for Bella and my 12-step group for me. I'll try to remember to get some pictures at the pumpkin patch.
