back to school week...woot, woot!!!

this seems to be the only song i can think of the last couple weeks. the idea of the kids going back to school is like CHRISTMAS!!! i love my kids more than life itself, don't get me wrong. but taking it from 4 to 1 all day every day is FREAKIN AWESOME!!! of course there's the usual nervousness...will parker do ok at a new school? at MIDDLE school? will he remember his locker combination? does he even know how to use a padlock? what if he forgets? what if his teacher doesn't "get" him? will he make friends?...how will ava get up at 8am every morning? will she be ok on the bus? she's used to having snacks during the day and she won't have them now...will she be hungry? what if her teacher is mean and she has to spend ALL DAY with her everyday? will she be a good girl? will her "sass" get her in trouble? what if she forgets her lunch? or has a hard time staying at school all day without her mommy? so yeah...some usual concerns i suppose. ; ) but let me tell you...that won't stop me from tearing out of the school with my arms flailing yelling "FREEDOM!!!!" on wednesday morning. no-sir-ee! back to school week has begun!!
