First Day of Kindergarten

And I cried the entire time.  Give me a break!  I thought I would be fine.  We've all ready had a kindergarten picnic, a carnival, met the teacher, done the pre-testing etc. etc.  I've been to the parent meeting, sat in the classroom, read everything they've given me.  I was ready.

We pulled up to the school and my son said "Ok, see you later guys!" And my husband and I were like "Wait!  We're coming with you to drop you off!" And he laughed and said "I was just kidding!"

So we walked him to the playground where his class was lining up and before I knew it the teacher told the kids to give their parents a thumbs up and they marched off into class.  It was like ripping a band aid off really fast, but not in a good way. 

I was on the playground about to sob (well let's face it, I was falling apart), like the ugly kind of sob and I kept having to hide my face and pretend to be taking pictures on my phone.  Other moms tried to talk to me and I was like "I'm pregnant and hormonal . . . I have to leave . . .".

It is an understatement to say that it was pathetic.  I dropped him off an hour ago and I have cried several more times.  The kind of cry that swells up your eyes and runs snot down your nose. 

I made my husband take me to lunch and I just put some cookies in the oven.  The first day of kindergarten was tougher than I imagined . . . at least I can blame it in part on "the nugget" for causing my INSANE spike of emotions.  (at least that's what I'd like to think for now)

By the way -- a friend emailed and asked me if I sent his lunch in that laundry soap box! NO! We were instructed to send an empty laundry soap box with our kids on the first day.

Still trying to figure out what it's for . . .but definitely not for his lunch! (Erin!)
