First day of school tomorrow...

[Carolyn]

My son is going into 2nd grade tomorrow and my daughter is starting 1st. This is the first time that both are going to be gone all day and I'm a little sad. My house is going to be sooooooooo quiet without them and I don't know what I'm going to do with myself all day. I mean how much cleaning can you really do!

Oh well it's just me and Brutus!

You will be okay and you will come to enjoy that time while they are gone. My Daughter started all day kindergarten in a year round school this year and i felt the same way you do. She started the middle of july so i am used to it now.

My kids started school 2 weeks ago and I know how you feel, it's always sad when the leave, but take this time and enjoy "your time" do something for yourself. If you dont work, then maybe you could volenteer somewhere. Or find a new hobby that you have always wanted to do. I know I have been playing around with my Camera a lot more since the kids went back to school and my favorite subject is Lillie!

Well I dont have kids but I can imagine how lonely it would be! But thats why you have Brutus! He probably will enjoy alone time with mommy!

[Carolyn]

Thanks guys! Who knows maybe I'll enjoy the quiet for a while.

Awwwww. That can't be easy, Carolyn. We'll have to do lunch one day.

Sherry Lynn lunch would be great one day!

my 5 year old started half day kindergarten last week , it goes fast but i still miss him. I guess by next year I'll be use to it and a whole day wont be so bad lol
as soon as he gets off the bus he says " did you miss me? I missed you"
breaks my heart

Oh man! I know how you feel! I spent the first day back to work (work at a school) in my office crying!

Oh my goodness! I feel like such a heel! I have a 13 yo and a 10 yo. I have always homeschooled them up until last year. My dd (13) went to school and this year we are sending both of them. I put a "party" sticker on my calendar to mark the first day of school! LOL After all those years of always having them home I am ready for some me time---although, I am so busy I still don't have much of that. Everybody is happy now!

Wow.. i have no idea .. cause im not there yet, but everyone tells me they grow up so fast.. so im trying to enjoy and cherish every second my baby is still little even though @ 2 months she's got a REAL BAD temper problem lol.. hopefully it'll go away..

but im really excited for her to start school when she's old enough.. i remember when i went to pre-school.. i got bullied by some girl LOL and i cried my eyes out.. and i remember i never wanted to go back to school.. my mom taught me to count from 1-10 slowly if i was ever mad/sad.. and it worked.. the next day we all ate lunch together lol..i cannot believe i still remember that!

im excited for your little ones! its going to be so cute, your refrigerator is going to be filled with cute drawings for mommy!

PARTY (lol) my son started 1st grade this year to and i miss him but it's nice to have a break besides i still have a 16 month old keeping me busy. But just theink of all the time you'll have to chat with us lol

I'm sure you'll find plenty of things to fill your time!

You should volunteer in your kid's classes! I know students in my class love it when their mom/dad can come in to do something.
