First Day of School

Today marks the first day of school for MANY school boards, ours included.  For weeks I have seen countdowns on facebook from parents, or watched interviews on the news and all these parents cannot wait for the kids to be back in school.  I don't fall into that category.

I am sad.  We had such a wonderful summer, filled with great memories, new friends and lots of fun. I am not ready for that to be over.  I actually ENJOY the summer and school breaks where he is home with me, and I know that Mr. K is going to be sad not having him home most of the time either.

I know he will be just fine at school, but this being the first year he is all day is really tugging at my heart for some reason - I realize that he is growing up, and he won't be with me forever; but for whatever reason, while I know that HE is ready, I am not.

I am fully prepared to cry my way home from the school after dropping him off - I will make sure that he doesn't see my tears - that's the great thing about sunglasses!

    I have to tell you... I am pretty happy today. Spending 10 days 24/7 with my family, I welcome the peace and quiet today.

      I know I am in the minority; I am a SAHM so was with him all summer, but still sad to have him at school. Thanks for commenting

      My youngest started pre-school last march; and will be back starting next week. If he had started JK this year I would have been a complete wreck this morning - I have one more year to go for that! Thanks for stopping by
