HEY, IT'S OKAY....
....to be glad the kids had a good first day of school. Natalie has a friend in each of her classes, so she's happy, and Tommy is taking AV again is excited about that.
....to have not made anything special for breakfast on their first day. I guess some people make pancakes and eggs and I'm just like, "How are you alert for that?" I am not a morning person.
....to HAVE made cookies for when they came home. I mean, they were the already made ones that you just shove in the oven, but still.
....to be going on a date with Tom on Friday. He's in the military and it's apparently and off day since it's Labor Day weekend. So we're headed to The Cheesecake Factory.
.....to have already bought some pumpkin stuff. I love it. I am ready for my first pumpkin spice frapp from Starbucks.
....to think it's hilarious that Natalie pasted a photo on top of her original photo on her Student ID because she didn't like how she looked. (Yup, that's really her in costume. Check out her Saw photos here.)

Mmmm Cheesecake Factory. It has been forever since I was there and it sounds SO GOOD. I think I need to make a little trip.
ReplyDeleteLOL! That photo on Natalie's student ID is hilarious! Nice post, Amber. I can't wait to buy some pumpkin stuff myself. :D
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy reading posts from this 'Its Okay' series.Yes,it is okay to not to cook a special breakfast on the first day of school.It is such a busy day for me always in each school term...
ReplyDeleteI made pancakes for the first day of school BUT I made them the night before!
ReplyDeleteI used to make a batch of pancakes for the whole week, since it was tough on school mornings. Enjoy your date night.
ReplyDeleteThis is so true. I love this. The first day of school is a big day and it's not gonna be perfect. I have learned to love the imperfections..ooh pumpkin Starbucks, you reminded me lol
ReplyDeleteI think it's totally fine to NOT make anything elaborate for the first day back to school because you don't want them to expect pancakes and crap ALL the time, right?! Now you can cook em up a nice dinner, if you want, but in order for the kids to get back into the swing of things smoothly, you just gotta start out doing what will be done on the daily!
ReplyDeleteYess.. It's okay to not cook a special breakfast ..you got cookies for them when they comeback.It's a nice post Amber. Really enjoyed it.The Photo on Natalie's ID is really funny and yes enjoy your date on Friday.
ReplyDeleteThat’s hilarious she posted the picture over her original! hahahha Middle school/teen years... SO MUCH FUN ...
ReplyDeleteMy kiddos start school next week. It's really bittersweet... I can't believe how fast summer is going by.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun linky list! I love that she thinks outside the box! lol
ReplyDeleteLove her new image! I think I'll try this for my driver's license because I hate that pic! (Rena)
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful your kids had a great first day of school! I'm not too happy about coming back to school as a teacher. :)
ReplyDeleteHehe, I love the pic she taped over her student ID! I haven't bought anything pumpkin yet, but I got some fall leaf garland stuff and some things for Halloween!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they had an awesome day back at school - sometimes it can be so hard. I absolutely love what Natalie has done to her ID haha!
ReplyDeleteYou know, we make a celebration out of everything, so how are kids supposed to know when something is truly special? I love that you didn't make a special breakfast just because it was the first day of school. Wait until the mood strikes you, make a great breakfast and say it is because THEY are the special ones.
ReplyDeleteI get you on not being a morning person - part of the same club. Glad the kids seem to have had a good first day back!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a pumpkin flavored anything girl but I hope you enjoy it. I don't understand why people get so mad about others who enjoy a drink
ReplyDeleteOne of the reasons why I like fall is because of pumpkin. I cannot say I want everything pumpkin spice but there's definitely things that I cannot wait to try.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you set aside a special date night with your hubby! I too have a house full of new pumpkin things. It makes me feel just a little bit better about saying goodbye to the beautiful days of summer!
ReplyDeleteMy kids started school yesterday and it went great! Now that they are older I was happy to send them on their way. I need to prioritize date nights with my husband more often, we love date nights when we get them.
ReplyDeleteThe student ID is definitely my favourite part of this post!! Hilarious! I love how most of your points are related to food! All the power to you!!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear Natalie has been so friendly. I think she'll make more and more friends in the future. Not a fan of cooking huge breakfasts too.
ReplyDeleteYou have a super friendly kid! That's a wonderful characteristic a kid must posses. The ID picture is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteHey it's totally okay to have bought pumpkin stuff. I absolutely love everything about this time of year!!
ReplyDeleteThe Saw thing is adorable. I wish I could find my photo, I let my teen make me into Jigsaw last Halloween. so much fun! It's totally okay for it all, everything. I wish I could think of a way to link up, maybe I'll link up to this next week ;) It's so much fun to read!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to hear how friendly your kids are. For me, I'm happy for fall including fall flavors like pumpkin spice.
ReplyDeleteMy daughters started school Monday and had a good day too. I'm always worried about the first day of school. I'm glad they both have been enjoying school so far. Always makes me happy to hear it.
ReplyDeleteI love all things pumpkin! I don't feel like I need to wait until the official start of fall to enjoy it either. If it were available year round, I'd totally gobble it up year round.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the photo of your darling, it shows how fun loving she can be. I love kids nowadays who value humor because it is one thing that makes life worth living.
ReplyDeleteHer student id idea was pretty genius. I love when kids show their personality through little things like this.
ReplyDeleteThere is no way I would be able to get anyone in my home to eat a breakfast in the early morning. We will opt for a glass of milk or a peice of fruit. The Jigsaw ID photo badge is a neat idea.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I have not prepared breakfast on the first day but I will makes sure tomake on the 1st day of the 2nd week haha.
ReplyDeleteIt might be basic, but I can't wait for Pumpkin Spice season. I can't wait for my first Pumpkin Spice Chai.
