First Day of School!

The time has come………………..I am here at my computer………typing…………with not one sound but my own!!!!!  Both of my children started school today.  Addison started full day Kindergarten, Cole started 2nd grade!!!!!!  It went so well this morning.  I had purchased extra needed donations for each classroom so i had that ready to go in one HUGE bag.  I looked quite hilarious with Addy’s backpack around my shoulder, my purse, and this HUMUNGO bag LOL…. I could barely walk. I brought the donations into Addy’s classroom and stayed with her a bit.  Gave her a kiss, whispered a prayer in her ear, then left.  I expected tears…nothing.  She looked a bit unsure but that was all……so we shall see when i pick her up today how her day went.  I then went over to Cole’s classroom to drop off the donations to the classroom.  His teacher is a first year teacher, her name is Miss Sole.  Cole said she has to be great to have the name sole-”Soul” He knows that she must have a giving heart and Soul, he tells me.  Isn’t that great?  I did get a BIG TIME wake up slap me in the face moment while leaving his classroom………BIG SIGH……..I went over to Cole’s desk, leaned over I told him I loved him and gave him a hug, he told me he loved me back…as I walked away…I could hear several boys saying ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yuck.  I looked at Cole and he was so embarassed.  So I guess in 2nd grade its not cool to kiss your mom back ……sigh…cry….HMPH! Here are pics from our morning today:

” I see children as kites. You spend a lifetime trying to get them off the ground.  You run with them until you’re both breathless. They crash…you add a longer tail..you patch and comfort, adjust and teach.  You watch them lifted by the wind and assure them that someday they’ll fly“  - Erma Bombeck
