Ok, so yeah, I do still think that doctor didn't know his head from his...you know. Saturday morning my kids woke up happy as larks. Perfectly fine. No fever, no aches, and requiring zero Motrin. They have stayed that way, so far. Guess it was not MONO. I am so relieved, I was really dreading the 2 weeks of misery Dr. was predicting. Wish I hadn't've run right out and bought almost $50 worth of Motrin and Tylenol, but oh well, I'm sure that it will come in useful down the road.
So now, the only person in our house who is feeling yucky is me. I think I'm getting an ulcer: In only 3 short days, we are throwing my sweet innocent baby girl to the wolves. That's right, she is starting Kindergarten. And she will also be riding the bus.
Maybe.
As it turns out, Dustin and I do disagree over something besides money. He thinks it is fine for our 5 year old to ride the bus to school in the morning with high schoolers, and I don't. Apparently, she will be riding the bus with all the kids in our area, up to high school. I'm a little bit freaking out over this, I'm sorry to say. On Wednesday, the first day, parents go with the kindergarteners to school, incuding riding the bus. I'll check it out, do my best to intimidate any one on the bus who might be considering hassling by baby, and then decide.
I'll let you know.
Add bus/starting school stress to the stress of assembling the perfect first day of school outfit, and you'll see why the ulcer is pending...
OK, just kidding, I'm probably not really getting an ulcer, but this is hitting me a lot harder than I thought it would. I'm really not a crazy protective mom, but thinking about her getting on that bus full of strange people and it pulling away without me does kind of make me want to throw up...I KNOW, I'm crazy. Anyway, pray for us on Wednesday. Probably just me, Kennedy couldn't be more excited and happy about it. Like I said, innocent. And I'd like to keep it that way...just a little longer...
How do we have kids old enought to be in Kindergarten? When did this happen?
ReplyDeleteAdyson has one more year, but I did bawl like a baby when she went to her first day of pre-school last year, and I'm sure I will again this year.
And I can't believe she is supposed to ride the bus with Highschoolers....no thankyou.
Kennedy will be just fine on the bus. After all, she just has to tell anyone that picks on her that her daddy can beat up their daddy and everything will work out. I still can't believe we've known Kennedy for over 4 years of her life. Time is fun when you're having flies.
ReplyDeleteIt's always a little hard when your first baby heads off to kindergarten. I remember the whole family walked to the bus stop with Christian and he just walked right on, never looked back. Both Joe and I couldn't believe he did that and I shed a few tears, I couldn't believe he was big enough to do that. Kennedy will love school and all it brings.
ReplyDeleteI know just how you feel about school. Kason is starting first grade and I am just as nervous as I was when he started Kindergarten. I don't think it will get any easier for us. Good luck on Wed.
