Anything But Gray

The kids started school last week and like it. They both love their teachers and are enjoying school so far. Very cool! I, of course, am thrilled. I have my moments where I miss them something awful but it usually passes quick and I am SO over it and loving working in peace and quiet. 🙂

Everything with going back to school has been great, fine, wonderful….except one thing. They want me to let them walk to school alone. I am decidedly NOT ready for this. At all. It's MY JOB! To make sure they get to school okay…I LIKE walking them/taking them to school. I don't understand what their problem is, really. I mean, I would've LOVED if my mom could've walked me to school. 

I know there are moments when you have to let your child go. I KNOW this. Believe you me….I have let go of a lot just fine, thank you. However. This is NOT ONE OF THOSE TIMES. I really don't know if I can do it. If I can watch them walk away. I know I'm going to stalk them…ugh.  Okay..maybe I won't because that will probably traumatize them or whatever. (Not that I'm not managing to do THAT just fine, either….). 

Argh!!! We'll see….play it by ear. Actually I think I will let them walk alone today because my mom is off, so she can be my "cheerleader" lol!!!!

Here is a picture of their first day of school….AND my boy lost his front tooth!!!! He is so stinkin' cute I can't hardly stand it, so there is a picture of that in there too!!! LOL

Enjoy! And now I'm off to stress out, trying to decide if I'm going to let them walk alone or not….
