Back To School

Hey Guys,

I'm sitting here this Monday morning enjoying a cup of white tea out of my favorite Wendy Williams mug (wishing it was chai tea) and I began to get the butterflies. No it's not the tea giving me the shakes, its the thought of DUN-DUN-DUN "Back to School" AHHHHHHH. Where do I begin? I'm not so much as worried about material items as I am worried about all three of us being in school full time. My poor hubby, fall schedules always bring a bit of welcomed chaos into the household. Oh well, he'll adjust in time. Enough about him, what about us? The best thing I can do is just jump in and get er done right? Curses to my damn need for planning and near inability to go with the flow!

Everything is different this year, new neighborhood, longer commute, the teen shall socialize and attend clubs and sports after school, the boy-child will be in the 4th freaking grade and I start my semester off with speech classes. Did you hear me? SPEECH CLASSES! what in the Sam hell was I thinking? As much as I love to talk I really don't like to "speak" lol. I had a job once where I had to give a presentation to like 300 students twice a year and that was terrifying in itself. The fear subsided once I got the ball rolling BUT only because it was pretty much instructions to them in black and white. All pre written information from my employer to the students. This on the other hand is me!!!! all me, my words, my actions and my fear! Oh and the worst part, are you ready? It has to be on Youtube!

This will definitely be an interesting school year for us and all of you are going along for the ride! Amidst all of this I've been searching and searching for a part-time job. Hey Baltimore, where are the decent part-time jobs? Not only will this year be chaotic it's gonna be darn expensive too! I have a junior in high school. Urgh the thought of the expenses got me all clinched up lol. We have prom, dues, fees, trips, rings and the list continues. Either way it's gotta get done and it will!

To sum it up, my fear isn't really in the change its in the adjustment. I like everything redundant and boring, no spur of the moment here guys! I guess this year changes it all huh? One thing I can not give up is my trusty day planner, I would truly feel like I am entering this journey "naked and afraid." Welp, back to my tea, prepping my planner and my thoughts now, until next time!
