Did you mail me something?

My baby started Kindergarten this past week. What a profound moment. Preschool didn't seem like this at all. Sure I got a little choked up to see him and leave him at Preschool, but at preschool they still baby them. Kindergarten on the other hand is hard core, bring your own school supplies, fend for yourself, no help with crafts, write your own name, do your homework or you fail mania. Ok, well not necessarily THAT bad. But that is what it feels like.
Here are a couple pics of his first day of Kindergarten.....



But in another aspect I feel like I can't wait to get Joseph out the door to school. After this summer I am learning why when mid-august rolls around you here musings from parents speaking to other parents and they all seem to say "I am soooo ready for petey to head back to school". I love my kids being at home with me! I never thought I would be that parent.
Well, slap my ass and call me Mother. I am that parent. *blush* I am more than ready for Joseph to go to school. Why? He is BORED... yes BORED. We are plum out of things to do and we are tired of looking at one another. I try to be super mom and have all these great things to do. But I think I kind of suck at it. Plus, with having a toddler who naps in the afternoon it puts a spin on going out to do things.

Don't get me wrong. We have had a superb summer together and enjoyed a heap of family time, camping, pool parties, going to the park, sleepovers, ice cream at the river, and a trip to the gardiner dam. I must say Joseph is ready for a routine and a challenge.

Personally, I am just ready for routine since I have had my challenge the past few weeks. Big Daddy has been working out of town. It doesn't sound bad does it? Well add to that the kids starting a daycare of sorts, Joseph starting school, and throw in a couple of meetings in there has given me the challenge of becoming a master juggler. Plus, meals and laundry. I must note as well, if you have sent me anything in the mail recently, it probably has been delivered... I just haven't noticed. With Big Daddy being out of town I guess I forgot that he checks the mail. *doh*

Oh well, at least the kids have some clean clothes :)
