School Days

Well I made it through my first morning of dropping Jaxon off at school. Well, I didn't really make it with much dignity though. I cried like a baby the whole time and well I'm still in tears. That was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. It has been leading up to this all week and finally this morning it hit me. I just couldn't keep my emotions in check. Oh I tried and I prayed not to lose it, but I lost it completely. Seriously, LOST IT.

Poor Colleen was walking by as I was leaving and I must have looked like a huge baby. I just couldn't get myself to turn it off. I tried very hard not to cry with Jaxon or any of the other children looking. I just didn't want him to think there was anything wrong with being at school. I hope he isn't sitting there thinking, "My mom is a nut case!" But I'm sure he is. LOL He has known that for a long long time. hahaha

This morning Jaxon was up with the sun. He was so excited and ready to get the "show on the road" Allen and I did so great getting up and ready that I was sure it would be a smooth morning. Then the little two boys woke up (thanks to Jaxon being too excited and noisy). So by this time it was only 7:00 and we still had a time before we had to leave. Jaxon and I just sat there and talked and I have to tell you it was the sweetest experience. He was so happy to be going and so full of his "morning sunshine." I wish I had more of that. I wish I was more of a morning person. He is so amazing in the mornings. He just made me smile and realize how amazing he is. I am so blessed to be that little man's mom. He is so wonderful.

But as I sit here writing, I am watching Asher and Noah watch Barney and it breaks me. I remember sitting on the couch with Jaxon when he was a year old and watching Sesame Street. Those are precious memories to me and I will love them always. Man, I sound so pitiful. It's only Kindergarten, I know! But gosh my life is going by too fast. I am just not sure I am prepared for this. But that's life. . . I have to do it regardless if your prepared or not. Well ok, this is a downer of a blog. I am just in a confusion of what to do without him here today. It is the 1st day in 5 years that he hasn't spent it with me, so I'm a bit lost. lol

Well I am sure I sound like a crazy protective mom, but I am finally starting to wind down and calm down. I really just wanted to get a lot of these emotions out, so Jaxon will have something to look back on years from now and giggle about. I wanted them to be fresh and honest. So now that I'm drained and it is only 8:09 and nap time is hours away. :(  What a long day this is going to be. Got to find something to keep me busy!! Yikes!!!

 

1st day of school by you.

  1. My day is coming Monday. That's Lydia's first day, then she'll be there with Jaxon on Tuesday. I didn't even make it through "Meet the Teacher" night! I started crying in the hall after we left the classroom! Then Aaron and I were up until midnight on Wedenesday crying together about the day she was born, what she looked like when she was in her crib, her playing when she was 2, etc. I'm hating every minute of this!!! I keep telling myself that in a month it's going to be better. :)
