School Butterflies

I've got butterflies thinking about school starting ... I swear there are more and more days I'm so happy it's bed time cause I'm mentally and physically done . I get nothing done during the day . a ton laundry , it sits unfolded for days , wet smelly towels magically appear everywhere . toothpaste smears speckled mirrors , unflushed toilets , clothing everywhere , and didn't i just feed you and your hungry again ? sticky table tops and crumbs everywhere . Ahhh... I love being a mom. A is going to 3rd grade and J is starting kindergarten. (i don't think he really gets (it) that he's going to go everyday ) And i am going crazy thinking my babies are grown up on me . I know it was really, really hard when A started school , but i think it was easier because i had 1 more at home , but now He is going , my little buddy, my company . He is such a hugger , a smooshie and out of the clear blue he'll just say "I Wove you Mom." , i don't want him to loose that. But i want to see him have a blast at school and have stories and show off what he has done . "look what i made" is one of my favorite sayings . ~~~~~ I'm gonna miss my babies . I'm so proud of the way they have grown and the people they have become so far . Don't get me wrong , I will selfishly enjoy some alone time which i rarely have gotten in the past 8 years . But i prefer to have a kiddo snuggled in my lap . The sound of them breathing , the smell of their hair ,watching their eye movement as they watch TV , cartoon background music , mommy ,mommy , mommy,.. Chocolate milk breath , a giggle/laugh felt and heard . I can't wait for school break . am i crazy or what !!

OK! I will remind you of that last statement when they have their first break! Just think of all the scrapping you can get done with an empty house! And, you've still got Honey and Katie to snuggle with!
