Back to School

It blows my mind that i have both a 

second grader and a kid in kindergarten. 

I really don't feel like I am old enough to 

be a responsible parent of two kids in school. 

Ava was super excited. 

Excited to see old friends and meet new ones. 

Ready to learn the routine of Mr Cooper's class,

see her locker, go to art class...be a big kid. 

She came home and talked for an hour straight. 

Luca was nervous. 

He was quiet at drop off

but stood in line and wore a brave face,

marching off with his Batman backpack.

He didn't share too many details but 

said there were some cool kids and 

wants to go back tomorrow. 

For now, that's enough. 

Me, I'm a proud mama. 

Four months at home without kids

until we start this crazy chaos all over

with diapers and daycare and little sleep. 

I say I am going to organize my house, my photos, my life...

get my s**t together before the next one comes,

but we all know me...

Maybe some take out, daytime tv and a nap.
