make_your_move: (marital bliss)
So, here it is ... the first day of school for all my girls. A is off to her 2nd year in high school, 10th grade. I realized when I was out on a date night with her Friday that in a couple of years we'll be thinking about college and that my friends, is sort of startling. T is in 3rd grade this year and ready for new challenges. M starts 1st grade today -- we made pretty good progress on teaching her to read this summer. And then there's S, my baby, just turned 5 at the beginning of August and now off to Kindergarten, full day Kindergarten.

Today the house will be mostly quiet -- no snacks to make, no lunches to fuss over. No one needing a nap in the middle of the afternoon. For the last 8 years or so, I've had one of the last 3 girls with me *every* day for at least part of the day. This is a change for me, I think I'm ready for it .. but sometimes ... well ... sometimes it stops me short.

I'm happy, I am, but I am sad too -- I think I'll miss having a little companion to *help* me with all my stuff sometimes. They really do grow up fast.

Now though, I'm off to Starbucks with another mom from school to ease into this new phase.....
