Back to School!

Tomorrow is the first day back to school here.  I will admit that I have been looking forward to it for several weeks now!  The long days of summer were beginning to get a little boring.  This year my oldest daughter starts first grade, so this will be her first year going to school all day (we have half-day Kindergarten here).  I was feeling totally fine with the thought of her being at school all day, that is up until today.  I have been freaking out on the inside just a little bit!  I know she will be totally fine, but I worry about her a little.  She is much more sensitive and introverted than her little sister and I know she won't speak up if she has a question or concern.  She is just like me in that way.  I know that after a few days of this new routine she will be just fine, but it's hard letting her go to start something new, especially when I can't be there to help her navigate things.  *sigh*  I know, I know, she'll be fine!  Although, I know she must be a little nervous, too, because at 9:50 tonight she came and told me she needed to use the bathroom.  I asked her if she was excited about tomorrow and she said "yes" and that she was having trouble falling asleep.  :0(  Poor thing.  I will be glad when tomorrow is over and I see her get off the bus in the afternoon!  Until then, I will take lots of deep breaths and try to get a good night of sleep (yeah, right!).  I am a night owl most nights, so this new routine will be hard for me, too!  Ok, I gotta jet.  Wish us luck for a good first day tomorrow!
