Denial

That is the land I'm living in right now. I believe it is next to I'll think about that later and nah that will never happen. I was happily in denial about the upcoming start of the school year, until the other day. I was driving out of our neighborhood and I see a bus turn onto our street. No big deal, I've seen buses all summer long. I'm driving along and I get a call. It has the special ring tone that lets me know it's my beloved hubby. Since he normally would send a text for me to get when I arrive at my destination. I thought "must be important" and looked for my phone in my purse. Boy was it important. That bus was for my child, they where doing a practice run and dropped off her information for her pick up. She's three and she will be riding a bus in a few short days. She was excited to see the bus, waving, and pointing to it.

My kindergartner boy, he'll be starting the day before his sister. I'm so excited for him. He will be in a class with some of his pre-k friends and his teacher is very nice. He will have a great year. I will miss seeing him for the whole day, but he will do great.

I think my denial does not lay with the fear that my children will not thrive in their schools, they will. It that I will miss them. Both of their schools start around 9 and while our Princess will be home around noon, she will have another teacher come to our home for another three hours of work. Our son will be home after her teacher leaves in the afternoon. So I will not see both of my kids until around 4 everyday. I'm not used to not knowing how most of their day went. Still school will be wonderful for the both of them.
