Kasey's Rambles

No better word fits the title for this post tonight. “Bittersweet.” It sure is. Summers over. Fall is here. School is starting…so let’s friggin cheer!!! Sorry I felt my poet skills wanting to jump out on the screen. My apologies for being super lame. I am beyond exhausted from the weekend and just from the past few days. When that happens I think I am funnier than I really am most times!!

So, tonight I tucked in a “kindergarten graduate” and tomorrow when we wake up, I will have a First Grader on my hands!!! It feels like just yesterday I was watching my son learn to crawl or feeding him with a bottle. And now, Now he gets himself dressed in the morning. Helps out, as much as he can, with making his bed etc. Just over the past 3 short summer months, he has matured into this brilliant young man!! So it is bittersweet for me. For a Mama who just sent her oldest to college, whose middle child is a sophomore and now their youngest a first grader. Fellow Mamas and Daddy’s, I am emotionally not ok!! 😂😭

Little side note for ya: We do not plan on having anymore children. So with my son starting first grade, he’s my last, my baby…and well, here recently it feels as if I’m loosing my baby boy. He doesn’t need me to pick out his clothes anymore. He doesn’t need me to wipe his butt. (This one I’m more than ok with! Lol) He doesn’t need me to walk him up to the door anymore at school. He is growing up. Right Infront of me. It is BITTERSWEET!

Now that he is all tucked in bed…bags all packed, clothes picked out and lunch packed….I am sitting here just reminiscing. My life is truly beautiful these days. To go from such a dark, miserable time of my life just a few short years ago…to finally feel ‘home‘…feel like I have a purpose again!! That purpose being to be the best damn Mom I know how to be to my 3 kiddos. To laugh more than I cry. To make memories that last a lifetime. To take as many pictures as possible ( I’m really good at this one. ☺️) To just be Present today!! Is the greatest gift.

So here’s to tomorrow!! Here’s to thr First Day of First Grade!!! To top it all off, his big Sissy is here tonight and will get to send him off tomorrow!!! Which I know will make his whole day. His sisters don’t live with us full time so anytime they’re over he loves it even more!!! Time to go spend some quality time with my teenage girl!!! Thank you again to all the new followers and likes from everyone. Y’all are keeping me going!!!

Till next time…
