1st day of kindergarten , 3rd grade

Well , we all made it. and only a few tears..... from me . i missed them today so much it hurt . but i do think i will get some things done, and get to work on myself . All in all, they had a great day , played hard and ate everything on their dinner plate. lol .

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 !!
