I experienced many firsts today on this 1st day of October. I should start by saying that I am very glad that I have turned my calendar over to a month that looks better and brighter than the last. For some reason September has never been my favorite month and right now it's falling at the bottom of the list.We are entering one of my favorite times of the year and I am very optimistic that it will bring fun times and great memories just as the last few months of the year always do.
I went to work today and I am happy that the 1st day back is over....I will never face this day again. It wasn't a bad day, many people shared their thoughts, shared their hugs, their love, their smiles and that was all ok! This morning I had my 1st breakfast of champions since finding out....I have been eating fruit loops and drinking orange juice every morning since school started, so today I had it for the 1st time (go figure it tasted the same). I wore a long sleeve shirt for the 1st time today since sometime in the Spring, which I have mixed emotions about because I like my summer wardrobe better than my winter one. Wrote my 1st IEP of the school year, for those of you who know what that is, knows that it was so much fun. I came home today to find that Brooks had cleaned the house, for what I think is the 1st Friday ever (I am not saying he never cleans, I am saying I think it was the 1st Friday I can recall because I am usually home before him), so thanks dear :) We got pizza tonight, which we had pizza night already with the Deane's this week, so that could be a 1st, pizza twice in one week.
I am a little sad about something today....we usually spend this weekend in TN at our cabin tucked away in the hills of Pigeon Forge for our "dating" anniversary. Brooks has been picking on me for years because he thinks a "dating" anniversary is silly now that we are married, but I think without that "dating" anniversary we wouldn't be married, so we should continue to celebrate, right? We always go the 1st weekend in October because the 4th is our anniversary and we always stay in the same cabin because he proposed on the front porch of the cabin above on March 13, 2004. This is our special place, that makes me happy and I have been apprehensive to book this trip this year. I told Brooks I didn't want to go because we have been for the past 8 years and we just went in the Spring, so what is the point, been there, done that, several times. I think it was the little voice telling me that this was not a good weekend to do this, so that is why we had planned to go to the beach. So a big 1st for us is that we are not on our way to TN right now nor are we on our way to the beach.
Tonight we will spend watching Netflix just like last Friday night, but there is an obvious difference from tonight and last week. Hopefully, there will be some Friday's again that are like last Friday, but for now we will enjoy these Friday's were we are not running around with a million things to do, like we often are. Until then we will embrace this new month that we have entered and enjoy the weekend doing something as a three-some and that will not be a 1st. Love to you and yours!!
