And I didn’t even cry!
Today was Brandon’s first day of kindergarten! <insert mommy sobbing here>. We made it without a hitch, and I didn’t even tear up. We were barely out of the driveway when he asked “Are we at school yet!?”. He has been so excited that he’s been even nuttier than usual, but it doesn’t help that his birthday is this week, either.
Poor Melena. We all got up at 5:45 today, just to make sure everyone got dressed / fed / showered / put together / whatever in time, and she wobbled around for the morning, looking at us like “what the FUCK, guys!?! It’s still dark and you’re getting me up!!?!” It really was kind of cute in a weird way.
It was only a half day, too, same as tomorrow, but so far, he enjoys it. I can NOT believe that the years went by this quickly. Some days, I just want a rewind button.
Other days, I’d just prefer a mute button.

Mine starts next Monday and I’m more worked up about it than he is. He couldn’t be more excited. I wonder what I’m going to do all day alone without my little buddy. Time goes by too fast. *Sniff*.

Isn’t it great how oblivious we are to their growing up? One mom I know today said she didn’t want to cry in front of her son, because she didn’t want him to see her lose it. I replied that Brandon was used to seeing me lose it, so it wouldn’t have mattered.
I’m sure that once he starts full time and I’m home with the baby it will hit me and I’ll cry like a little girl. But for now, I’m toughing it out. Good luck with next week, though!
You should ask Heather about Kieran not wanting to hold her hand. Just remember, Brandon is still ‘yours’ until he gets married. THAT’S when you have to let go. So you have a while yet…….. Just think of it in that perspective!

I’m not letting him get married. Because DUH, you’re his girlfriend, and DUH you’re already MARRIED did you forget!?
