School Days

Today is the beginning of school for all 4 of our kids! I am so excited, and yet so scared. Madi is now in Jr. High, Tom is in 5th, Cali 2nd, and Bryan is in Kindergarten. I ended up being one of those moms who I have made fun of in the past (carma sucks). I held it together when he went into the room and then John took a picture and I could feel the tears well up and I couldn't stop it much longer. I held it together until I got in the hall, and let it go. Holy cow, I am so scared for him, well, for all my kids. Jr High, 5th grade...kindergarten. I worry that the kids will be teased, bullied, and have no friends. Since I have been working full time and I'm not able to be home I think I worry more. The freedom of summer is now gone. A schedule and regiment are now at hand. Time flies by so fast. A co-worker was looking at strollers, she is pregnant, the thing was $249.99!! I could not believe it. I took a sigh of relief that I don't have to worry about that anymore!! All I get to worry about is all my kids in school and no little tikes to worry about during the day, weird. A new chapter is unfolding for our little clan. I look forward to the next year.
