Waiting for this day to be overrrr. One more night with Porter until he's gone for almost two weeks. I don't even know what to do with myself when he's gone for that long. I love having my own time, but almost two weeks is way too freakin' long. Wanna hear about how great my day started? So I went to 7-Eleven to get Porter's lunch (yeah yeah, I know. Woke up late and couldn't pack it). I go to pay and my debit card declines and I have no good phone to transfer money into that account...

I need a place to go to write and so i'm back. I'm back and i'm really excited to have this little piece of the internet to call mine again :) I'm currently phasing out Facebook, which has been interesting and awesome (for another time in another post).

Of course lots of posts about Porter. He's starting first grade in...

He then proceeded to smash the volcano with his boots, because...

This kid. I figured I'd do an update on Porter since its been a long time since I've done that. He's growing so quickly, as I'm sure all of you with kids can understand. Every day new things come out of his mouth and I find myself wondering where he learns things all the time. He loves school. He hates getting up in the morning to actually go, but he always talks so happily about it when I pick him up. And his school makes all of their food there, homemade, which has been great for him while...
