School Time!

I don't know about those of you who read my blog, but the 1st day of school is the most exciting day of the year. It almost ranks up there with Christmas morning. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids! And I would do anything for them. As long as I'm not breaking any laws. But, when I drop them off for school, I sing Hallelujah
all the way home. Does that make me a bad mom? Please say "no" and tell me it's normal.
Brianna had a "great" 1st day of middle school. I went to pick her up and and the first thing she said was " I want to do that again!" She even got asked out. She didn't exactly know who asked her out, because the boy who wanted to be her boyfriend,made his friend ask her for him. She said "no". On the second day, it happened again. Only it was a different boy. And he too, made one of his friends ask for him. According to Brianna it's now the "in" thing for your friends to ask out whoever you want to go out with. I told her she was way too young, and she couldn't have a boyfriend until she was at least 20. Of course, her response was with a look of disgust, and she then reminded me that I was married by the time I was 19.
Kaden had to miss the 1st day of school, because he had the flu the day before. Poor kid! While Brianna, was getting all her supplies ready, and picking out her outfit, Kaden was puking in the bathroom. He was really bummed. He roamed the apartment, giving me the run down of what he would be doing if he was at school at 9,10,11,12,etc... Needless to say, he was really excited to start the next day! When I went to pick him up, I went to hold his hand to cross the cross walk, and he very quickly and decisively pulled his hand away. My little boy (because that is how I still see him) is now to COOL to hold my hand. What's next? Will he be to cool to give me a hug? A kiss on the cheek? I started to tease him and said I was going to walk him into his class and give him a hug and kiss and tell him I love him at the top of my lungs for everyone to see and hear. He didn't like that one bit. My little boy isn't so little anymore.
The 1st week of school went really fast. The kids have enjoyed going back and were really excited to see all there friends again. And I have enjoyed my semi-quiet time with the girlies. Only two more years and I will be all alone. What am I going to do with all that time?
