Folders? Check.
Tissues? Che... I mean yes please!


The first day of school is here and of course I'm not ready. Yes I have all their school supplies, backpacks are packed and clothes are laid out but emotionally I'm not even close to being ready. They grow up entirely too fast. I wanted to walk them in and both of them said "Mom, really? You can just drop us off." When did that happen? Well I used my mom veto power and walked them to their classes but they put their foot down at the idea of a picture by their desk. A new school year is hard to adjust to. Going to bed earlier, waking up earlier and then there's homework and projects due but my kids always seem to adjust well and are actually excited about it. I on the other hand am the one not keen on the idea of being away of them for 7 hours a day, 5 days a week. Still we'll all get used to it and I'll end up loving time to myself. Just let me get used to the initial shock of the quiet. No whining, no fighting, no annoying kid shows blaring from the t.v. AHHHH See I'm already starting to enjoy myself.
