First Day of School - 2007

Part of me couldn't wait until the first day of school so that I could take a break from being "entertainer" and then there was part of me that did not want this day to ever come - the day my princess goes off to school.
Overall the day went good. The boys really like their teacher (of course it was the first day) - ask me next week or month and it might have changed. Olivia did great going into her class. I thought she would grab my leg and start crying like she does at church, but she walked right in and puckered her lips for a smooch and said good-by. No tears. No complaining. Wish I could have said the same for me. I did shed a couple tears when out of her sight. I just can't believe she is already in school. Life flies by - it really does. When I find myself wishing for time alone or that they would go to their rooms for some peace and quiet - I have to remind myself that I will be in my rocking chair doing my crossword with no noise before I know it, and I will probably be so bored - longing for the noise of laughter, crying, whining, rough-housing - the noise of life!
