Today was the first day back to school for the kids. I was so happy to be able to be home and make their breakfast and make their lunches. For the last 3 years I've always been on a bus route when the kids are getting ready for school.

I always thought I was doing something great for the bus rider kids. Their parents couldn't/wouldn't drive them to school so I thought I was the 2nd best thing. Thought I was doing something wonderful for all these kids. Then I thought, oh my gosh, my kids aren't being driven to school by me! I'm doing the same thing to my kids as these other parents are doing, leaving them for someone else to take care of. It was time I got a reality check and got my booty home where it belongs. I'm so happy I'm here with them and I think they are too.

I was ok dropping the girls off this morning, but then, as I pulled up to Mason's school, he said, 'Mom are you crying?' I said, 'I'm trying not to' and he said, 'Oh it's ok Mom, go ahead, that's what Mom's do'.

What a guy. So I did.

Kyle took pictures on the way to school of everyone in the car. Sweet of her. I love pictures that capture a moment in time.

They all had a wonderful day and they all like their teachers. That's always a relief!

The annual tradition of filling out emergency contact info. has just been completed by me. It took exactly 2 hours for three kids. That's way too long. Bedtime........sweet dreams. {Tickled Sweet Dreams~!}
