The excitement is from the kids not me wanting them to go back to school. Yes, I’ll admit they drove me a little nuts a few times but I’m gonna miss my little monkeys while they are at school. And, it messes up little Bug’s therapy sessions. During the school year we have to drop back to two sessions a week rather than the four he’s been able to get in during the summer.
I know they miss their friends and socializing and basically having their day planned out so there is no uncertainty but I just love being a stay at home mom and my little ones being home with me. While they are excited I am too. I’m excited to see their growth, their progress and let them blossom and simply stand back and watch them grow but it’s hard. Maybe someday it will be easier for me but not so far.
I want to hug them and squeeze them and never let them go but I know I can’t do that. It would be much to embarrassing for them and they would let me know that. I guess I’m just rambling today but I’m wondering, will little Bug still give me kisses and hugs when I drop him off at the front of the school? Is third grade too big for that? Oh, gosh, I certainly hope not.
Excitement, hope, fear, nervousness, anxiousness, happiness, smiles and friendships rekindled and new ones made. The new school year holds out so much, I’m not really sure anymore if I should be happy, sad or just somewhere in between.

I feel you. I get all those same feelings and more each new year. Sometimes I think we have more feelings about the first day then they do.
