I'm not a mom yet (still working on the wedding plans) but my friend is celebrating sending her two off to school this week - sounds great, right? It is - but she's also 37 weeks pregnant!

Thankfully it's part of the drop-in day care center I use a few days a week for kid-free writing time, so I got to leave Emmitt in the attached center. I'm counting the days until Emmitt goes to kindergarden. I mean I'm loving this time and am so glad I'm home, but the day he goes to kindergarden, I am either booking a day at the spa or coming home and going straight to bed. :) LOL, I sent Elnora to pre-school yesterday for the first time.

Noe's only 10 months old, so she won't be starting kindergarden for quite a while. But I DID just drop her off at her first fill day of day care today . . . and cried all the way home. Part of me is crushed by this first 'big girl' step to independence, and part of me is dancing a jig that I have eight uninterrupted hours of work. I'll tell you, I'm constantly awed by what a roller coaster parenthood is. I feel for you Wendy. Noe’s only 10 months old, so she won’t be starting kindergarden for quite a while.

I can feel your pain and yet it isn't my youngest who is starting school. My son is only 4 and won't start Kindergarten for another year. However, my only daughter, Hannah, will be starting Kindergarten tomorrow. She is so excited. She has been counting down all summer long to the amount of days she still has to wait until she starts Kindergarten. As I'm excited for her to begin school inside I'm already thinking of tomorrow morning. Tomorrow I will watch her step onto the school bus and she will begin a new exciting chapter in her life. She will be learning education from another adult that is not me, she will be playing with children that I haven't yet met and she will be making choices without me by her side helping her with the options. She will succeed without me by her side 24/7. I have another year until I am "free" as you are. However, when I read your post my stomach turned because I can only imagine how sad I too will be on that day. I'm sure each day will be a bit less sad. Maybe you will be able to complete your daily business duties while your children are all at school and when they get home you will have more quality time with your children. That's what I'm hoping for myself, as well. Shana I’m sorry you are sad, Wendy. I can feel your pain and yet it isn’t my youngest who is starting school.
