I have decided to start babysitting to supplement our income so I have one child before and after school today. 6:20 AM - earlier than I usually wake but I'll adjust! He seems like a great kid. AND my first child, my son, is going to kindergarten this afternoon. That's a big deal! Someone else will have influence over him - not just me. I'm proud of him though and excited about all that he will learn - he's smart and inquisitive. I hope I did a good job in these vital first five years! His going to school makes me value my time with my 2 1/2 year old daughter even more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and it's my birthday. That's getting lost in the fray. Seems to happen as a parent and as you get older. I don't recommend having kids around the time that school starts if you can avoid it - that's mostly what anyone else is thinking of right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Working slowly but surely on a rag quilt for my daughter now. I want to spend endless hours on it but I just don't have that kinda time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The satellite is down so no television yet today. Strange. My daughter is not happy about that. She got into my dark chocolate in the fridge. Grrrr. Oh for a fridge lock!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have to run to Extra Foods while my son is in school cuz they have cheap fryer chickens - $1.88/lb. Great deal! Gonna stock up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope you enjoy my blog and my new list of favorite links!&lt;br /&gt;(Hope I caught all my typos - there were many cuz I'm tired!)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4783959719054946181-4894726724171350317?l=mommaralph.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mommaralph.blogspot.com/feeds/4894726724171350317/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4783959719054946181&amp;postID=4894726724171350317' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4783959719054946181/posts/default/4894726724171350317'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4783959719054946181/posts/default/4894726724171350317'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mommaralph.blogspot.com/2008/09/my-babys-first-day-of-kindergarten.html' title='My Baby&apos;s first day of Kindergarten'/><author><name>MommaRalph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10852243476743553416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00021318427305477653'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783959719054946181.post-1161157227706363926</id><published>2008-08-26T08:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-26T08:19:46.537-07:00</updated><title type='text'>So Begins The Blog....</title><content type='html'>I'm not sure I ever thought &lt;u&gt;I&lt;/u&gt; would be blogging! I have lots to say but I`m not sure I want the world reading it. However, here I go! I have been a stay-at-home Mom for 5 years now and I`m just now finding the desire to do something more - something of my own - that can also bring in money. If you haven`t discovered this, a blog can be a source of income! I`ll post more on this later. For now, the kids are needing me and a friend is bringing her two munchkins to visit. I look forward to sharing our lives with you!
