Ahhh...the bitter-sweet first day of school! It is always such an emotional roller-coaster of a day for me! Who can deny the excitement that comes with FINALLY being able to wear the "new shoes", aniticipating the bus ride, seeing all of your friends again, the new schedule, a locker, playing on the "big kids" playground, or eating school lunch for the FIRST time!
But, watching my kids climb on the big bus and ride away, knowing that there will be no "need" for mom for a whole SIX hours, sadly symbolizes what the future holds. Every year seems to come faster and faster!
Coleman is in 4th grade this year, and Janey is in 1st Grade...what's considered "real" school around here!
Here's our two Mt. Nebo Junior Highsters...Kaycee is in 8th and Reed is in 7th! Good Luck to you all! We'll hope for a successful year for EVERYONE...maybe I'll even get my laundry room cleaned!

Oh the emotions of the big day!!! I wish all you luck especially with the laundry room. Most days I just wonder where to start. Everyones shoes and clothes look great, I am loving the bags too! Your flowers are beautiful, we need to come see them for ourselves.
So, my sliding glass door stayed clean for 2 whole days last week with the kids back in school! The laundry room however, still a mess. I can't believe how big Coleman is...they all just look sa cute!
Thanks so much for you comment! I am so thankful to have someone like you to talk to/listen to me sometimes! You were such a great support to me my first year teaching and really made me feel like I belonged at Taylor and was doing a great job! There are some days when I still really miss teaching Kindergarten, but you are right, I do love being with my little one! She has been growing up so quickly and I am sure she will be in school before I know it. Thanks for the reminder to live in the moment! Anyways, I am so glad to see your kids ready and excited to start a new year. Tell Coleman and Janey that I hope they have a blast this year! I miss Janey so much and think of her often. She is such a cute and smart girl! Enjoy the year. Are you still PTA President?
