Back To Life

School starts again for Caesar in a little over two weeks {as of right now, there's a waiting list, so we're not sure Mercutio will be attending Pre-K}.
We've been doing some last minute stuff like hiking on a nearby trail, doing Powerline hair, making faces, and learning how to ride that bike.
Whoops, wrong kid!
After a breakdown on my part, and a serious heart to heart, Christian and I have opened up the Options for our Future discussion. We're nowhere closer to a decision, but I am confident that we'll get to a place of agreement. We understand each other so well, it's easy to get why we each feel the way we do.
Caesar is excited about school starting up again, nay, he's excited about his new Batman backpack, and Mercutio is a little worried, but Caesar is helping him through it. If he doesn't make it to Pre-K this year, Christian and I are going to enroll him in some sort of activity.
There are many things on the horizon that I'm looking forward to, and for a moment it was difficult to see that there were any things to be excited over.
Caesar turns 6 years old in a week. Crazy. On September 13th, I'll be heading to New York City for an event to cover for Gaming Angels, hopefully heading back in October for NYCCC, and on September 30th I'm leading the Ithaca Clickin Walk with Veronica.
I went back to work this week, and have never felt more grateful and terrified to leave my house. I'm hoping to have my learners permit test completed sometime within the next two weeks, I've been trying to study up on my road knowledge {which is practically nil}, I might not make my goal of having a full fledged license by the end of summer now, but there's no stopping me from getting it before this year is out.
It's hard to 'move on', but for today at least, I think I'm ready.

I'm so extremely behind on your blog and therefore your life. Because I feel like we are similar in some important ways, I hope the following finds a place in your thoughts to come. I cried for you. For Christian, the monsters and the itty bitty monster who didn't get to meet his ridiculously wonderful family. I pulled for you (if that makes any sense). I still am. And then, with this post, I smiled with you as you are smiling with your boys. I have absolutely no idea what you and your family are going through, but I do understand other types of grief. You know where to find me and am more than happy to be a sounding board. Those fall leaves you're looking at? Not too far away, I'm watching them, too.
Oh, Katy. I adore you in so many ways. Thank you.
In a way it's good that school is starting and that you'll be busy running around in the coming weeks. The best way to get back to life is just to live, right?
Where do you RSVP for the clickin' walk?
