Today was the first day of school for the girls. And it was no big deal around here. For anyone. Except me. What is up with THAT?! Last night they were getting ready for bed and it was just like any other night. Corey was getting his stuff ready to bike commute. “You aren’t going to ride to school with us in the morning?” I asked him. “Should I?” he responded. “They are moving from one grade to the next. It’s not that big a deal.” This is true…
Last night I read my post from one year ago today. Oh how things have changed. I guess I was expecting a day like that…today. I’m not sure why. Both girls are returning students. Laney is just going all day…that is the only big difference. I’m home alone…again…just all day. So I guess the only real milestone here is for me and I’m the one with all the emotions and no where to go with them. ;D
So I’m home. Cleaning the house…which REALLY needs it. Gonna bake some banana bread with the bananas that are really looking sad. Gotta wash the dog…cause he rolled in something disgusting and he smells like a rotten fish. Normal everyday stuff. Just like how everyone else has been acting. But I feel like a part of my life had ended or died or something. When I brought my babies home from the hospital I thought they would always be with me. Then I thought, gosh, I’ll never get them off me! LOL! Now they are off to school where they belong…I know. It’s just strange. And quiet. And nice. And sad. All at the same time.
