My wonderful husband and JR have just left to begin their new school year. In some ways I think nothing of the change that JR is making because he's so sure and confident about it, and yet there is a part of me, the parental part, that wants me to scream after them, "No, leave him here!" The change to the middle school environment is such a big change anyway, without adding the change in district as well. But, I've known this day was coming, although in some ways I guess I thought it wouldn't really ever get here. I'm sure my parents felt that way about many milestones in my life, and I'm sure it seems to them that I blew past them, just as my kids are flying by in their lives. Oh, it goes so fast! Because my husband has a meeting this evening, I have to go pick him up, and we are all going to go out to dinner to celebrate his first day. I'm anxious to hear about his first day, and I'm looking forward to the car ride home to hear what he has to say...if he can stay awake!
Speaking of staying awake, I'm really torn between enjoying the peace and quiet and being productive, and going back to bed for a couple of hours. I'm pretty sure I know how this is going to end up though, with me not being a morning person and all!
