Today I went to my girls school for meet the teacher night and it was a wonderful feeling. Both of my girls will be in school and I will actually have freedom to work, go to school or even sleep if I want. What a wonderful milestone in a kids and parents life when all kids in the house attend school. I have been back and forth on how I feel about the whole thing. My baby is growing up so fast, I get to be a woman for a small time rather than mom, I'll miss them and the biggest one is how much I am going to worry about them. How well they adjust, get along with the teacher and kids. Will they listen to the teacher and mind her? Will my little one handle the all day schedule including the structure of lunch time? These are just a few things running thru my mind these last couple of weeks. What are some of yours? I am sure there a millions of moms and dads that feel the same maybe more. Seems like we should have some kind of support group for parents to help deal with the stress and anxieties. What is your opinion? Feel free to comment or add your own advice or personal experiences. This is just an attempt to help clear my mind in order to sleep tonight so if you share some of the same feelings please feel free to leave a comment. I can't wait to hear from you. To all the parents out there about to go on the school journey, Good Luck!

Hi, I'm was stopping by from SITS to show some comment love. Sadly and happily, my three girls (ages 23, 17 and 15) are either grown or almost grown! But I certainly had and still have a lot of those same worries you have now. You never quit being a mom and you never quit worrying!
I know your girls will do great and so will you! You know you have done your best to prepare them and now you just have to send them off to do their best. It is a new season. Embrace it and enjoy it.
My advice - take lots of pictures, keep a journal of things they say and do and keep a box or crate of all their precious papers, pictures, report cards and other treasure that they bring home! You, and they, will love to look back on them in a few years. I know I sure do.
Many blessings,
Teresa <><

Wow thanks that was a great comment and I so appreciate it. You were right they did great even though I cried this morning after dropping off my youngest in kindergarden. She was so happy to see me and vice versa. Please come back again cause I have give aways every now and then.
