Well, it's back to school time again and this year my little one goes off to Kindergarten.
In our house we transition from summer sleep to school sleep gradually over a few weeks. Slowly we move bedtime up and wake up time earlier until we're at 6:30 am and 7:30 pm. This week we hit 6:30 am. Turns out that 6:30 am sucks!
On Monday the 20th my daughter starts 3rd grad and on the 23rd Jeremy starts Kindergarten. There is a huge pile of school supplies on the couch just waiting for back to school night tonight. I've contacted the teachers about their special needs and now it's just a matter of time.
School time is a time of mixed feelings. I love staying with my kids and teaching them things, but after 3 months together I'm very ready for them to go back. I'm not sure what I'll do with all the time, probably laundry.
I've volunteered to do more work with the Girl Scouts and the JDRF. I've agreed to run a small group for church, and I hope to do more Heritage Makers stuff.
I'm sure every mom goes through this - the first feeling of empty nest. First Kindergarten, then all day school, then Middle school, High School and off to college - or life.
Four days and counting...
