Small change of plans
Our air conditioning broke Saturday. So I started cleaning out my house Sunday.

Well, today is IT. The First Day of Kindergarten.
August 15, 2011
Yesterday, we went to a morning mass because it was Packet Sunday. This is the Sunday before school starts, and after the 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. masses parents can head over to the music room in the school to pick up information for the coming school year. I was very excited, and a little nervous, as I had been warned by veteran grade school parents that the packet is rather intimidating and requires hours of work and multiple checks.

For me, anyway. I dropped her off for the last time at preschool today. M takes her on Friday as I’ll be in KC on business again. That’s probably a good thing since I burst into tears upon leaving school this morning. I called M, sobbing. He laughed gently, and made me laugh, and predicted that I’ll be a complete mess Thursday when she starts kindergarten.
All I keep thinking about are big steps in her life. The day she was born. The first day she walked. The first day of preschool. Where did it go? And will it ever slow down?
Even if it doesn’t, I’m just happy I’m along for the ride. “Parent” is the best job title I will ever hold.

This has been a rough week for me. Personally, professionally…every which way. Sleepless nights and tears and questions that, at least for now, seem unanswerable.

Watching Little House on the Prairie with Zozer tonight. Laura runs out of the house to a small wooden structure.
Zoe: “Is she going to the owl house?”
Me: “Um, no, she’s going to the OUT house!”

I grabbed the pile of invitations and Zoe’s new school calendar off my home desk this morning and brought them into the office. I need to plug everything into my work calendar, which gets boosted to my phone, as that’s the only way to keep my family on track.
