I actually cried, I don't really know why. Maybe because it is a new age bracket, 6-10, or the beginning of school all day or something. It's all no good, honestly. :)A Buns Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12611682053507407292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-979735752308492047.post-32501019587641971092009-01-28T13:15:00.000-06:002009-01-28T13:15:00.000-06:00holy crapola...this post is right on the mark. my...holy crapola...this post is right on the mark. my daughter, peyton just turned 4, but 5 is looming and rearing it's hideous head. okay, not hideous, but unwelcome head for sure.<BR/><BR/>right on with the 1-4 bday accounts. her 4th birthday was ALL about her this year...damn...i didn't even get to pick the candles for the cake, or the balloons, or the theme,...

I have passed his bus 2 times with him on it (on my way back from dropping off my other son at preschool) and I saw his little head yet he didn't see me. It was not a good feeling and I wanted to follow the bus and take him off. I almost started crying. Thinking about it today still chokes me up. That same bus broke down one day and I called transportation to find out what the problem was and went and found them. My son was starting to panic as he thought he would never see me again. It took everything I had to let him ride the bus again the next day. He was fine, I was not. It's going to be the same way when your daughter starts school. She will be fine and you will be sad. I'm hoping it gets easier with the next 2...but I doubt it.<BR/><BR/>I realize my comment won't make you feel better but just know that you're not alone with what you're feeling.<BR/><BR/>Sue3 Peas in a Podhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01836773658497641385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-979735752308492047.post-81423664111499012092009-01-27T13:09:00.000-06:002009-01-27T13:09:00.000-06:00Coming from AM and you just made me cry...

What's killing me right now is the ten year old (TEN!! How did that happen? How did Kira get to be ten?) living in my house who I don't even know sometimes. It's amazing. Makes me want to push 'pause' on my life sometimes, just to hang on to my babies longer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
