So, six more days. Six more days until my little man enters gr. four and goes to school for the first time. I have managed to put this day off longer than most. Four years longer. But now my son is going to head off into unknown territory. Hang out with kids I may or may not like. Make decisions his Mom won't be able to congratulate or correct.
Oh, I know it's good for him! Don't lecture me in your head. I am not going to hover. I am not going to spy. And I not going to spend everyday worrying, I can't! There are three other kids here, two of whom are not getting their education outside the house just yet.
It's just that, this happened so fast. I know I rolled my eyes when anyone said, "Oh, Sarah, look at you. You are just growing up so fast." It didn't seem fast. And I can tell Levi doesn't think so either. But time sped up somewhere. What on earth do I do with that? Is it going to get faster?
Am I just crazy, or is there a chance I am not the only Mom going through this on this particular week? I am going to find some chocolate.

Oh, honey - if there's a lecture needed, I won't waste it inside my head! In the meantime, may I suggest something stronger than chocolate? Or, something stronger, AND chocolate?
(PS - the verification letters for my comment are gopia: Go pee, yeah!)
There was chocolate on my laptop waiting for me when I got home. Am I missing something?
