SCHOOL DAYS

i MUST ADMIT I WAS SAD WHEN I SENT MY KIDS OFF TO SCHOOL ON MONDAY. I DONT WANT THEM TO GROW UP ANY MORE THAN THEY ALREADY HAVE. I WILL MISS HAVING THEM HOME WITH ME DURING THE DAYS. ALTHOUGH I CAN GET SOOO MUCH MORE ACCOMPLISHED WHEN THEY ARE NOT HOME. ZACH IS STARTING 9TH GRADE AT WAHLQUIST JUNIOR HIGH. HE CANT WAIT FOR HIS BIRTHDAY IN DECEMBER...HE CAN GET HIS DRIVERS PERMIT!!!UUUUGGGGHHH...NOT READY FOR THAT. HE WANTS TO HURRY AND GET THIS YEAR OVER WITH SO HE CAN GET INTO FREEMONT HIGH!!! I TELL HIM WHATS YOUR HURRY? BUT I REMEMBER DOING THE SAME WHEN I WAS HIS AGE.

LEXIE IS GOING INTO 3RD GRADE AT FARR WEST ELEM. THIS YEAR. I BELIEVE SHE IS READY FOR SCHOOL , BUT SHE BEGS TO DIFFER. WE ALL KNOW LEX IS NOT A MORNING PERSON SO YOU CAN GUESS HOW MONDAY MORNING WENT...AH...NOT SO GOOD. BUT THERE WERE NO TEARS...THE BUS STOPS IN FRONT OF OUR DRIVEWAY SO WE DONT HAVE FAR TO GO. THATS NICE! WE HAVE A PRETTY BIG STOP WITH SO MANY KIDS! SHE WAS A BUNDLE ON NERVES SO SHE WANTED ME TO FOLLOW THE BUS OVER TO THE SCHOOL AND MAKE SURE SHE FOUND HER ROOM OK. FOR HOW OUTGOING LEXIE IS YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW HOW SHY SHE REALLY IS. SHE PUTS ON A GOOD FRONT! MY LITTLE 3RD GRADER.... I AM SURE BOTH KIDS WERE NERVOUS AND EXCITED THIS DAY. THE ONLY ONE WHO CRIED WAS ME....MOM...I DO EVERY YEAR. MY LITTLE ONES ARE GROWING UP AND IT MAKES ME SAD. I AM SURE PROUD OF BOTH ZACH AND LEXIE!!!
