Back to School

It's back to school time, and, I have to say, that it feels very odd not to be preparing myself for a new year of teaching. I have an underlying sense of panic at not having a teaching job--or any job--ur, paying job, I should say, at this point, but I am confident that something will pan out. I am still making money doing the eBay thing and my hubbie's taking pretty good care of us, so I'm keeping my chin up--as my dad constantly reminds me to do...
Ahh, okay, now that I got that off my mind....It's back to school time, and my girlies are super excited to be heading back to school! I thought that they would be more nervous or scared about starting a new school, but they both seem self-confident and happy about it. They amaze me sometimes. I am WAY more worried and scared about it than they are! Anyway, today was registration day, so the girls and I got to look around their new school a little bit. The night before school starts, the school is hosting a "Back to School Night" where the students and parents will get to meet the teachers and see the classrooms. We are all looking forward to that.
As for my little Peyton, she will be starting preschool the same day that Zoe and Izzy start at their new school. We also registered her today, and she is excited. Although, I'm not sure that she really knows what to expect or what will be expected of her. We will see...
So, in two short weeks, my little angels will leave the nest once again and embark on a journey of their own that I can't travel with them. I will only be on the sidelines cheering them on and refueling the tank when it gets low and patching up the flats. This is very hard for me. I never understood how watching your child grow up could be so incredibly heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. I'm sure my mom warned me when I was pregnant with Zoe, but this is something that you don't fully understand until you are a mama. Pass the kleenex, shoot! There I go again!!
