Well, tomorrow is the big day. The kids start ps tomorrow. Ds12 is REALLY nervous and it is making me want to cry. He really is ready for it, he knows the school pretty well, and the kids. But it has been a long time since he has been in school and it is middle school, so it is all new for him. Dd10 is pretty good. she's is not happy about going back, but isn't nervous I don't think. Please pray for them (and me) tomorrow. Thanks! and I will check in tomorrow and let you know how things go.
Oh Leslie, they will be in our thoughts all day... give them a big hug before they leave and let them know we are thinking of you all.
I will be praying for all of you tomorrow. I hope the kids love it and feel right at home there. Beth
They are gone now and I am sitting home alone wondering what my days are going to be like each day. On one hand, I admit, I am anxious to have time to myself. But mostly I am not sure when I will get used to this. Thankfully today I have a doctors appt with my gyn to get an ultrasound of my uterus. I have been having some problems (nothing major). and the appt is an hour away, so that will help use up my time for this first day. We gathered around as a fmily last night before bed and talked and prayed together for this new season. That brought a lot of peace. Then at 3 in the morning dd came in with a stuffy nose/watery eyes and couldn't sleep. I gave her some benedryl and sent her back to bed. Then this am the bus drove right by our house. I was worried about that since we haven't been on that route before. As I was trying to call the bus barn/school ds yells out "THE BUS IS BAAAACK!!!" and went running out the door. That was about 10 minutes later. So I didn't even get to give him a hug or anything. Oh well....I know he will do just fine. After school he has to stay for football practice until 5:30!!!!! He is going to be so tired and hungry. I am going to make his favorite spaghetti dinner with garlic bread and have his favorite ice cream for dessert. Ok...I guess I have rambled enough. I am going to get some breakfast! Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers! Keep 'em coming!!
Praying they have a great day. Leslie you try to enjoy your day.I hope your Dr. appt. goes well. Prayers for that too. I know this will be hard. But if its ment to be it will work ourtfine. Lots of Hugs coming your way today. I'll check back later to see how the day went.
Leslie I really hope he enjoys his day. I bet you are more nervous than he is! When Samantha was in ps we always had problems with the bus. Good thing yours came back.
Leslie, you are in our thoughts today.. I hope he has a wonderful day and it goes by smoothly for him and your dd too..
I am sure your kids will do just fine. I do pray that your transition to this new season in your life is smooth and filled with blessings. You are such a sweet mom to make your son's favorite meal tonight! That is so nice. He will always remember that!
Oh, the seasons of life are so special! Even your longing and loneliness is bitter-sweet, because it shows your deep love for your children. When our older son went to ps, I had his class schedule posted on a wall and often "followed" him with prayer throughout the day. I'm glad that you are "processing" this with us, and I'm eager to hear how things are going today, too.
Great idea, PH. I think following his schedule is a great idea and then praying for him. Leslie, praying for you today, too.
Ok...so here is a "double" update. The kids did great today!!! Of course, ds forot he was supposed to stay after for football and ended up coming home on the bus! :roll: But I said it was fine and called the coach to tell him he would be there tomorrow. He liked his teachers and met a few new friends, and reconnected with a couple of old friends from his early years. He couldn't get his locker open at one point and had to get a teacher. Well,, the teacher couldn't get it either, so they had to get the janitor....and that made him late for his 2 period class (health). But, it was fine. He has talked my ear off for 30 minutes or so telling me all about his classes, teachers, lunch, and new friends. Dd also had a good day. She likes her teacher. although she already has homework on her first day that is due tomorrow. It is just speeling and reading, so no problem. Zach laughed at her about her getting homework and he didn't get any! :roll: So...the prayers worked, we all did well today (they better than me!!) LOL and I think we are off to a great start! Now...for my second update...maybe I should start a new thread.... I had my dr. apt today and found out that I have several fibroids in my uterus and they secheduled me for that ablation thing that I believe some of the other girls on here have had done. I go for surgery on the 24th of this month. I actually am pretty excited about it. My dr. said it should relieve most all of my discomfort and pain. Anyway, that's all for now. God is good and keeps getting better!!
