Last night, Andrew told me that he wasn't sure if he was excited. He said, "I just don't know what it's going to be like." Little does he know, I was thinking the very same thing.
This morning, though, Andrew jumped out of bed and was ready for the day. A smile from ear to ear told me that he was going to do just fine ... and that I could actually enjoy my quiet, kid-free house without a bit of guilt. Now, after a day of kindergarten for Andrew and a day of peace for myself ... we now know what this year will be like ... it's going to be GREAT!

And off he goes ...
Tonight I am thankful ... for not completely falling apart and for the gift of this day. As always, I give thanks to God for giving me these moments ...
Here's to letting go of the first day jitters ...

I remember this day with Catherine so well. She only went until 12:30 back then but oh! the sense of FREEDOM that I had. My goodness, I could conquer the world in that amount of time without interruptions. I used to refer to it as a "state of uninterruptus". Enjoy, enjoy. Absence does make the heart grow fonder afterall.....
Love,
Kelly
Use the time to get some rest. You deserve it!
