First Day of School

Today is the first day of school for the kids. I officially have a HIGH SCHOOLER! How did this happen?!?!?! Just yesterday he was in kindergarten, I swear.... Now he is out for the bus before the sun is up and I can see the nervousness on his face, but there is a hint of excitement as well. Alot of first for him. First time going to school alone (without his trusty sidekick little brother), this in itself is huge since they fight alot but they are glued to the hip most of the time. My other is going to 8th grade and is not so happy with his schedule, he has wait for it, gasp(!!) choir... Not. a. happy. child. He wanted anything but this apparently. So he feels double whammied, not big brother walking to the bus stop with him or making sure he got all of his stuff AND he has choir, well isn't this just great! (ok, yes he is a little dramatic, but aren't all 13 year olds..) I am so proud of the boys but I am a little sad. Somewhere along the road someone replaced my babies with young men and I was not prepared for this!!! Bring on the girlfriends and driving now right??? (oh and someone bring on the liquor because I am gonna need it!)
