If you were expecting something from me today, I am very sorry……..I have barely made it through the day.  I have been working at things non-stop, and there were two very important things I had to do TODAY that as a dad were non-negotiable.  First was to attend Ben’s Kindergarten Open House tonight to meet his teacher and get acclimated to the new setting, and then two, I had promised Steph weeks ago to change her brakes on her car BEFORE she left for school again.  I was out of time for both things.

Ben’s school and teacher were great!  Tomorrow will be such a big day for him (and for us).  We enjoyed the whole affair, and it is hard to believe that he is really going to the big house!!

And…… as you can see from the picture (photo courtesy of Kara Cashen Awesome Photos of her Friends Unlimited ©2012 all rights reserved), we did manage to fit in our brake job, albeit partially in the dark.  What I can say however is that I ONLY HELPED……Steph changed the brakes!  I told her I would teach her, and she did great!  She then test drove her car around the neighborhood and was quite pleased!!  Her brake pads had worn all the way down and it was quite an accomplishment for her!  It was awesome!

But tomorrow is Ben’s first day, and I will be then scrambling to make up all that I promised I would do today!  I never enjoy falling behind, but I thank God for a memorable day!

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
