Summer is… OVER.
And i’ve been dreading this day horridly. I knew it would be hard. I sent my baby to kindergarten today.
And i warned you about my belly aching that was coming.
Well, i am a soild box of tissues down, crying hard, and laughing at myself all at the same time. Anyone who knows me knows i am NOT a crier. You honestly have to work hard to get me to cry. Well, there is this one song that whenever it comes on i cry. But you’d be hard pressed to get me to tell you what song.
But on the car ride to school this morning i lost it. I heard C in the back quietly tell me “i love you mommy” while Miss S sang and was her silly little oblivious self. Billy sweetly got me a tissue and i tried HARD to figure out how to collect myself before i parked the car. This morning was about her, not me. And i was NOT going to scare her with my tears.
I held it together.
Kinda. Until i walked away.
And i pulled myself back together. Well, till my dad called me about an hour ago. gah.
So i’ve spent my morning looking at images of her. Here she is from this morning just before i we got in the car (and yes, outfit by Miss S herself lol…).
And from our summer vacation — The girls got their face painted and they thought it was THE best thing ever. And Miss S’s was wicked cool……
and one of my favorite pics of her ever… taken my the fabulous Kristi of Kristi Hedberg Photography in Asheville, NC
And yes, my gorgeous big girl also went to Second Grade today. Well, that was just a *little* easier to drop her off than dropping my kindergartner off. But oooohhh did i also cry when i crossed the kindergarten bridge with Miss C two years ago. And Miss C is SO much harder to take pictures of than Miss S… She has perfected the “cheezy chipmunk” face. But i managed to get a couple without it. but JUST a couple.
and finally a few more from our 2009 summer vacation tour of the southeastern USA!
So, belly aching done. Back to work now!!!! See you soon….
