I’m completely uninspired to write anything witty, sarcastic
or remotely entertaining. Life has kind of been like that lately, and it has in
fact been that way for the past couple months...hence my lack of posts. A bit
overwhelming, it feels as if a small ballpein hammer has been slowly and
insistently pounding its way into my skull….a dull ache that is unrelenting. I
do know however that this season will
pass- as all stressful seasons do.
AND.....
Speaking of stressful seasons, let’s segway into…. Did you know that The Wyatt had his last day
of kindergarten on Friday? I’ve gotta be honest, that’s not helping the
ballpein slamming on my skull to dissipate.
As Will and I were watching the growth progression of Wyatt and his
classmates this year on the DVD that his teacher so kindly provided, I got a
bit misty. Bah. I’m not above getting misty. I didn’t bawl my eyes out, but as
if it wasn’t apparent to me already, he’s not a little boy anymore. He’s
grabbing my hand a little less. His attitude is getting a little bigger -with
sass to match. He thinks he’s a genius and he’s not afraid to tell you. He’s
increasingly sensitive and some days all he does is test, test, test,
test…..and I swear he may have some
hearing loss in not one, but BOTH of his ears. SO I watch with pride, amusement and chagrin as he "finds" himself and moves with stealth ninja like speed into the first grade. Lord help us all.

I can honestly say that I have never written the word "ballpein" in a sentence and you have adroitly managed to work it in not once, but twice in your post. Kudos to you! (And Kudos to me since I have never written the word Kudos before either!) I think we can safely say that The Wyatt is not the only one who has grown a little this year. I think we are all learning thru him. The Journey continues.....
