Wake me up when September ends.

Never were truer words spoken. Yesterday was the start of school, and like I posted before, I sent my kids. Inside I screamed... stay home, stop growing, don't go... but I quietly wished them a great day and told them I loved them. Today was presented another first for me as well, I worked. Earlier in the summer I put in my paperwork to sub in the school district ( support sub, not teaching) .... I said to myself... I will say YES to everything, I will try everything, and this WILL turn into a part time/ or full time position. So, the first opportunity was to work as the front desk receptionist at the High School.... I clicked yes ...and then the reality set it.... the hours were 3 to 6.... I wasn't going to be here when the kids got home from school..... On their first day..... tears followed.... small panic attack.... and then... I realized, so many moms do this, I can do this.... so I sat the kids down and explained to them how sorry I was.....

And do you know what they said?

Don't care mom, glad you won't be here, like being home alone!!!!!

WHAT?????????????????????????????????

Its the end of summer. I always get sad and anxious as the start of school approaches. I worry about the kids. I worry about other people's kids. I worry that my kids won't find friends to sit with at lunch. I worry that they will get lost going to classes. I worry that this will be the year something bad happens. All in all - I worry. I will send them off on their first day, because as a good mother, that is what I am supposed to do. But I won't like it.
