Today was the start of 12 years of having 2 kids in school.\u00a0 Whew… that seems overwhelming!\u00a0 But more importantly, it was Josiah’s first real day of school.\u00a0 He’ll attend Lakeside Baptist’s 3-K program on Tuesdays and Thursdays.\u00a0 Analise asked\u00a0 yesterday what I was going to do, and she said over and over, “You’re going to be so lonely!”\u00a0 Indeed, sweet girl… I was.\u00a0 For about 5 minutes in the car, when I realized that I was embarking on a whole new chapter of errand-running by myself, with my choice of music or podcast or nothing at all.\u00a0 There was a twinge of loneliness, and then I remembered how much fun Josiah was having, and I was reminded that we’re both winners in this situation \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Analise was excited to see Josiah was using her old backpack... and he was super proud to tell his teacher he was using his sister's backpack. <\/p><\/div>\n

And yes, the 4 hours flew by.\u00a0 I barely had time to get to Curves to workout, grocery shop, get everything put away, grab lunch and check my email.\u00a0 At which time I found an email from Analise’s teacher sent at 8:30am that she was a bit upset because I’d forgotten to send her nap mat back to school after washing it.\u00a0\u00a0 UG!\u00a0 The ONE day I don’t look at my computer until noon is OF COURSE the day that I really needed to get a message early.\u00a0 It was too late for me to make it over there before nap time, and amazingly, Analise said she “got to” sleep on the carpet.\u00a0 I love how kindergarten teachers make everything – even a back-up plan – feel like a great experience!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
