a salute to Rock!

we have been rocking a lot. im getting good on guitar, i just prop it on the belly. seems like you should all come visit the Manny's to rock out one night...open invitation!

so hard to say goodbye

So I have waited and waited to write this little post because to be honest I have been quite emotional over this monumental change in my life. I recently quit my job with sweet little Alex and it has been quite an adjustment, in more ways than one. Not having anything to do all day is pretty boring, and making less money is certainly no fun, but the thing I hate the most is not seeing him. I have spent the past 2 years and 8 months with him everyday, M-F, anyway. All of a sudden I have gone almost 4 weeks without seeing him and its starting to get to me I have to say. I really miss my little buddy, he was the greatest kid to be with all day long. I told Justin that Kennedy better be sooo cool because this huge chunk out of my heart needs fixin' and Im thinking that how much I love her will fix this not being able to love on him. I keep wanting to go see Alex but keep putting it off because his mom just had her new baby boy as well as giving him time to adjust to me not coming to see him everyday. It just stinks so bad, he really was like my little best friend. We just hung out everyday and played and laughed and snuggled, I just need to get a fix and kiss all over his sweet cheeks or something. hopefully soon. I knew this was inevitable, one day I was going to leave, i just didnt know when I met him way back when I would love him so so much and end up missing him so so badly =(

on another note, I have been working with a new family, very part time. they are a very sweet family with two girls, 10 and 14. The 10 year old and I are mostly together in the mornings and I drive her around in the afternoons pretty much. She is hilarious and always tells me stories. I dont get to see the 14 year old all that much but she is very sweet, a little quieter than the younger. Anyway, its working out well, early early mornings, but I should get used to weird sleeping hours anyway I guess with Kennedy coming soon!!!!!!!!

So its almost FALL! the temp. this morning was 53 degrees! I could not believe it! I loved it. I have been so fat and hot, its nice to have some cool weather and open up the windows and turn off the AC. I do have to say tho that it cant get too cold because the only shoes that fit me right now are my flip flops! eek! Well I hope this finds all of you well. ill leave you with a picture of me and my favorite little guy =)
