today was a big day, i can't really believe it's already here -
the first day of school!
(and these might be my worst first day of school photos ever - bleh!)
at the beginning of the summer, i knew it was going to fly by, because it ALWAYS does. and i end up feeling a little robbed on the first day of school. robbed of the carefree TIME i love to spend with my kids that only comes during the summer. this year is no different, worse even, because it rained all of june and i feel like summer didn't really start until july when the sun came out and it was hot enough to play at the pool.
but i guess it doesn't matter how i feel about it, school is officially back in session. this is a big and exciting year for my kids - taylor is starting high school, allie is no longer a newbie to jr. high, spencer is a newbie to jr. high, and ethan is getting ready for pre-school in a few weeks. the kids' excitement to start a new school year, see their friends and have some fun adventures makes it hard for me to be too sad about them leaving again, i am excited for all the fun that school can be for them.
but oh man, the roller coaster ride that is homework, busy schedules, volunteering, carpooling, and trying to stay on top of their crazy lives in between all that needs to be done around here....i'm bracing myself, because here we go.

perfect title for your feelings...I need some more days to sleep in and spend in the sun.
Wow, how crazy to have a child starting preschool, 2 kids in jr. high and one starting high school! That has got to wreak havoc on a mom's emotions!
Oh Wende, I know this day of dread and craziness is coming but I am still so excited for kindergarten that I can't sleep at night!!!
My mother would call the first day of school each year the true and real mothers day, so Happy Mother's Day!!!
Oh fun has begun!!! I am sooooo glad the boys get to spend most of their day together. Usually when schedules match like that it is someone you don't want your kid around but not this time it will be great and we can compare notes!
