Get Out The Tissues

I Am Already Crying...

It's just this thing I do... CRY....the first day of school and the last day of school.

I am happy/sad to send my children off the first day

I am happy/sad for the school year to end.

With 2 more full days of school, I am already weepy.

Katherine's teacher presented me with a beautiful bracelet yesterday

and that opened the floodgates.

I hope I make it through the week!

I figure the tears will stop just in time for a new crop associated

with my, Jeffrey's, wedding next week.
If you are a mom, you know exactly what I mean about the tears...

No explanation needed..they are just mom tears

Right now, I am so excited for school to end and for the slower pace summer brings.

I am not excited for Katherine to leave Elementary School and the most supportive school environment we have ever had.

I am excited for days at the beach this summer.

I am not excited to go school clothes shopping for a Middle School wardrobe....

the first year without Uniforms...

oh my...have you seen the store racks lately....

not much I want my 11 year old to wear (how to you spell... hoochie ma-ma)!

I am excited Megan had such an incredible year and it will continue next year.

I am not excited that for the next 6 years....the girls will not be in the same school!

When Megan is a Freshman and Katherine is a Senior!

We will only have one year of them both in High School and Seminary together.

I will make it through this week and all of the other milestones,

including first and last days of school.

There will be lots of happy/sad tears along the way...guaranteed.
Am I the only crying mom?
