A Beginning and End

I'm starting off a blog/journal. I haven't done one on the computer in some time now. Journaling isn't new to me though. I've had journals since I was in grade school. Of course, back then I called it a diary! Just thinking of that takes me back! The little diary with a little lock and key so that no one could read it. Lol I guess it's only fitting that I'm thinking about to school days as it's the end of the summer. One month until my kids start school (not that I'm counting down the days or anything!).
Do you remember when you went to school and that last month of summer you wanted to last forever!? I remember back to when I was in 5th grade. We lived in this big house at the end of the cul-de-sac, the neighbor kids and I would stay out playing til way past dark. We'd play hide and seek or flashlight tag! Pretending to hide in plain sight but it was too dark for others to see. Hiding with the neighbor boy and stealing a kiss.(Yes, that was bad!). Oh those were the days! Where responsibilities flew out the window! I sometimes wish I was that young again.
Now, I'm the mother. The one that has the responsibilities. The one that still wants my kids to be young and have the fun of the youth. A mother of a 16 yr old boy and an almost (in 10 days) 13 yr old boy. The youth is starting to slip away. I'll be writing about them a lot.
So this is a beginning of a year and the end of the summer. What summer? I ask! It's been a cool summer. We had maybe 2 weeks of solid hot weather. Also since this is my first summer of working, it hasn't felt like summer to me except for the fact my kids are home, texting me when they need/want something.

So August. What good things happen in August? It's hard to think of something good in August! One can say that it's the beginning of autumn. I feel autumn started a week or so ago with this cool weather.

A Sunday. Beginning of the week. End of the weekend. It's almost been a year since I started my job. My first official job in 14 years. It's not as happy as that first day but I should be happy that I have that job. That's the thought to keep having. And I'm there helping people, when needed.

So my first post on the blog. Not awesome but it'll do for the first one! I'll have to ponder about other posts.
