Growing Pains...

Tomorrow is the big day! Sam starts school. And even though it is just Pre-K, he will still run a full day five days a week at the local elementary school...so for all practical purposes, my baby will start school a year early. Ugh!

Since I have worked off and on since Sam was born, I assumed that I would handle it better... especially considering all the harrassment I gave my Mom when she used to cry at our big milestones. Funny how that comes back to get you. : ) So here it is in "black and white" or I think it is technically "blue on blue." But either way, "Mom....you were right and I was wrong. Giving them up is harder than it looks!"

For the past two weeks, I have "puddled up" on multiple occasions. While talking with a friend, I told her that I didn't get why I was so upset. She said, "Well, maybe because it is so FINAL." It was then that I learned that articulating the issue isn't always helpful.

There is a Lightning McQueen backpack and set of clothes by the door. . All the info sheets are filled out and the PBJ is safely tucked away in the Go, Diego, Go lunchbox. So I guess this is it. And I am up late trying to get really exhausted so that I will actually sleep.

We will see how it goes...
