Sort of…
Its haylee’s first day of Kindergarten, and I am happy, a little sad, but mostly just glad its here. For those of you with little babies its hard to imagine that you will be ready for that little peanut to head off to the big harsh world of elementary school, but as God is my witness, you will. When today started, with a missed alarm clock, some crying because shoes did not fit just right, a workman who arrives early, and then lastly, a missed bus {thats right, she missed the FIRST day of riding the bus}, you wonder how you will survive 13 more years! I realize at the end of summer the well oiled machine we had become last year has lost its drive- with late summer mornings, and lazy summer evenings, bed time and structure have become a thing of the past…err, present. See, thats the hard part of getting back into a routine, there are tears, and missed busses, and chaos abounds. But, when the chaos clears, you find yourself driving your two kids to school, and walking your baby to their first day, instead of shoving them on the bus. And if you are like me, you realize that this is the last time you will walk down the kindergarten hall for one of your baby’s first day of school, you know that sometimes divine intervention makes chaos reign- just so you get that last “mom” moment. So while I am happy for their adventures, and excited for the women they will become, I am reminded if how fast it all swims by…
