School Is In

Back To Class

You are looking at two very excited little girls on their first day of school this morning. Katherine is in 5th Grade and Megan is in 2nd. They had difficulty sleeping last night due to their excitement. As their mom, I am excited for them.

The first day of school is difficult for me. I cry when I meet the teachers I cry when I drop them off, I cry when I pick them up.... I just cry. Mostly, the tears are happy. Crying is just my emotional release. It was much easier today because they were so excited. I was not calming fears and sensing apprehension in either of them.

This was a fun summer. Longer than usual and calm by design. I think not planning a lot of travel and activity made it particularly enjoyable.
