In another mood...my sweet Logan Cole

I love this picture, I know you see a little NIPPLE but still it's just the image of the mother and her child, so peaceful. Maybe I love this picture as a Mom because I can FEEL how she is feeling holding her child! The love, the warmth, the closeness!


Ok so I am in another mood today, so much flying in this big head of mine. My personal trainer laughs when I tell him my odd stories of "friends" past or present and of course my family, which I could write a book and even a movie and make millions, but ya know... keep in inside Leah as Don my Christian shrink would say :) and than lets pray Leah! HA HA SERIOUSLY!


Today was a hard one, Logan had his first day at Joy preschool. Now that he is potty trained, he started 3 yr old preschool. GOSH it was so hard, I kept trying to talk and come up with everything I could to not leave the room. Even my sister was pulling me away. Logan eventually started crying for me, probably because he saw how I was that I had to leave him. Really you don't have to leave your kids at this age, its a option. I am a stay at home Mom, but I know he needs socialization, learning skills and to be around other people than Mommy....sniff sniff my baby is not a baby anymore, heart breaking!

So my Mr. LO LO buns gets picked up at 3. I will post pictures tonight...until than, my heart and tears go out to all the moms that have had this gut feeling: THE DROP OFF, THE WALK AWAY, THE SIT IN THE PARKING LOT, and of course THE CALL TO THE SCHOOL TO SEE HOW HE IS DOING. I can do this, 2 kids in school, our adoptive baby here in Nov or Dec.

NOW on with my home projects in the meantime to keep my busy! Deep breath....


On another note, I got a email from a friend in Germany and this was on the bottom of her email as her signature, I like it, its SO TRUE, as friends come and go for so many STUPID reasons... seems like you never really know what went wrong or why. Differences? Other friends get in the way? Lies? Who knows, nothing to dwell on BUT I will admit, I have had my ups and downs and there are about 2 people really in this world (besides my love lamb Jon) that are always here for me no matter what. No matter weight,looks,what you have, don't have, kids do or have, blunt sayings, etc etc... friends are a good support system, without them as females, we would be lost in certain ways I really hope Logan meets kids, has friends that he can share stories with, laugh and have forever and always be close with, today is the beginning of the rest of his life, i know he will ROCK this day.
Anyway-mumble...here is what was on her email bottom:


"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."


"Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school.

But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything."
-Muhammad Ali

I feel your pain with the drop off thing. I was shoo'd out after hanging around too long at drop off and then I called three times to check on my little one her first day! The preschool probably thinks I'm the one with separation anxiety...but that's my BABY!!!
