First Day of School Blues

The day that I have been dreaming about for the last few years has finally arrived. My little Lily started her first day of school today.

I must admit I was so excited for her to start school. Thinking it would take some of the load off me and hoping to have some quality one on one time w/ my son who is only 15 months younger than she.

After walking her to her classroom and leaving the parking lot I had this hollow feeling in my heart. All these emotions starting rising. "She's gone. This is really strange. I miss her. I am sad. Will she be okay?"

Jack and I spent the morning together trying to figure out our new roles as Lily's absence has us both a little weirded out. We made our way just fine - albeit a little more quietly and less chaotic! :)

We were both so excited to pick Lily up and eager to hear all about her first day. She was so excited to see Jack and I and that made us feel really great. It looked like she had a great day. It was all going so well. Then we walked into the house and she spouted out a few bossy words and I had to send her to her room. Then she had a nice little 'never ending' melt down. Aaahhhh... my reality check!

I can't wait for school tomorrow! ;)
