I have had a busy 2 weeks and it shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. A week and a half ago, my grandmother passed away and I had to make my second trip to Indiana in a month for her viewing and funeral. It was a tough time for the family, especially my dad, uncle and aunt. Thankfully, she left this world peacefully and is now blissfully roaming around the gardens of heaven with my grandfather. I returned home on Tuesday and have been trying to recoup ever since.
School starts (for me) in a week and I have mandatory transfer student activities to take part in next weekend on campus. We have finally received the boys’ school supply lists and bought Alex’s new backpack. He is so excited about that backpack. He picked out an Optimus Prime bag that he proudly wore through WalMart and then out to the van. He’s so excited to go to school. I, on the other hand, cried upon reading all about his kindy placement, etc (which we also got in the mail yesterday along with supply lists). I am going to be a basket case on his first day of school! I will be trying hard not to let him see me cry that day, though. I don’t want him to think that going to school is a bad thing. It’s not, of course. It’s just hard for me to let go of my baby, that’s all.
Needless to say, I have a lot going on this next week with preparing for my classes in a week and preparing for the boys to start school in 2 weeks. Part of me is glad to be starting back to school but part of me is sad that the summer is practically gone. It really seems as though we had very little summer at all this year, with the boys getting out at the end of June. It seems it’s been run, run, run ever since.
I know some others are getting ready to start school this week. Have you finished your school shopping? Are you ready for school to start? If you’re sending your child of to school for the first time, how are you feeling about that?
