Just decided to check out your blog and the Ke...Hi. Just decided to check out your blog and the Kenny Chesney song "Don't Blink" is kicking my ass! I sure didn't need to hear that today. I feel your kindergarten pain, sister. Last spring, my baby girl pleaded with me not to make her go to kindergarten at all, much less all day, and yeserday she bounded out of bed and raced to get there. This morning, standing in line with a backpack almost as big as her on her back, her lunchbox in one hand and her "science object" in the other, she informed me that she couldn't kiss me good-bye because she was too excited. I still snuck a quick one on her cheek and was glad I was wearing sunglasses. Then, after I watched her walk into the school without even a glance back at me, I zipped around to try and see my giant first grader, but he'd already gone in. Yesterday, when I left him in his classroom, he had the total deer in the headlights look about him, but when I picked him up, he said "I love first grade...it's everything I wanted it to be" I had no idea he wanted it to be anything. What do I know? Anyway, now I am a little weepy. I am glad that my kids are excited...I'd rather have them love it than have me pushing them into it. I also never wanted to be one of those moms who can't figure out how to have her own life because she lives for her kids and even though I think I have my own life, I realize that I have pretty much been fitting it around theirs for the last almost seven years. OY! Anyway, I just wanted to say I like your blog and now I've said soooo much more. I'm done now :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
