And I'm a little sad! How silly. I mean, she's just going to come the the dining room table. It's not that big of a deal, right?
I think it's because a really carefree phase of her life is over. For the next 13, and then beyond, years of her life, she's going to have things she HAS to do everyday. No more fly by the seat of our pants! It's going to really change our lives, forever. Not that I'm being dramatic or anything...
I'm acting cool and collected when we talk about starting school. And I am really excited. So is she. Most all of the curriculum is here. I just have a few more things to get. I planned out our year the other day. The Tuesday after Labor Day, we'll start kindergarten.
Of course I have concerns. WHAT am I going to do with the boys while we school? What about when I'm sick? Or one of the boys are sick? We can't play in the mornings anymore. Or run errands. We are morning people. The thought of dragging all 3 kids to Target in the dreaded *afternoon* makes my stomach lurch... Oh, and there are more. So many more.
And then the Lord whispers, "Hey, I told you to do this. Don't you think I'm going to help you???"
Oh, yeah. Thank you, Lord, for your gentle, patient Spirit.
So don't call us in the morning starting the Tuesday after Labor Day. We'll be at school!!!

Wow - not only is your life going to change a lot but mine is too! What will I do without the morning talks? I'm so proud of you though. God is going to provide exactly what you need to do this and it will be a great step for both of you. We are open to have the boys for play dates sometimes!
