Feeling out of sorts...
Natalie is a senior, Lolly is a sophomore, Bones is in 6th grade, and Danny is in third. Everybody started school today. I feel sad. I don't feel like cleaning. But what else should I really do? I want to clean out the garage since the ugly white dumpsters are parked in our neighborhood but my knee can't take that kind of work quite yet. I don't want to do laundry. But I do want my kids to wear underwear beneath their clothes so I guess I have no choice. I want a Route 44 Diet Cherry Coke from Sonic but I'm laying off the brown stuff as much as possible. Notice I did not say "I'm off soda"...I know my limits!
This morning Danny left me in the school yard to run and play with his friends. That is what is really bugging me. He usually stays glued to my side and we stand at his line up spot until the bell rings. He is no longer shy. This is what we wanted! But it was sad today. As he ran off I called out a quick goodbye and a few other things and then started for the van. After a few half hearted steps I felt a hug from behind and there he was, my baby, Handsome Dan, wanting another hug and kiss goodbye plus a few extra air kisses into his cupped hands to put into his pocket for later. Then he was off and didn't even look back. I was done! Without being dramatic I walked fake happily to the van and even faked my way through a few hellos to other folks as I made my way. For the first time in the history of "first days" I wasn't staying until the bell! What else could I do? I drove the van around the side of the church parking lot that parallels the school playground, I watched my baby boy play happily with his friends, and cried!
Well that is that and another milestone has been met. Next year I will have one in college, one in highschool, one in junior high, and one in elementary, and, I'm sure, life will go on. Im excited for our children and all they are experiencing, who they are becoming, and the wonderful choices they are making. I just didn't plan on it hurting so bad.
Well, the underwear awaits...
