My baby is going to kindergarten next week.
Did you hear that?
MY BABY IS GOING TO KINDERGARTEN NEXT WEEK!!!
I am totally freaking out about this. My eyes fill up with tears just thinking about it. I’m not sure I can do this. I am positively riddled with anxiety about putting my little girl in school. As in I am finding myself laying awake at 3am thinking things like: "What if she doesn’t like her teacher? What if I don’t like her teacher? What if she doesn’t have a friend to sit with on the school bus and she has to sit all alone? What if the other kids are mean to her? What if she doesn’t have a friend? I bought the wrong type of colored pencils on the school supply list because they were out of the kind it said – is that okay? Will we get in trouble? Did we read enough books of the summer reading list? What if we didn’t and now she is behind? Or if we read the wrong books? Can she write her name well enough? Should we be practicing? What about cutting with scissors? Cause she’s not really great at cutting with scissors. And what should she bring for a snack?" And OHMYWORD the crazy just goes on and on and ON!!!!
Seriously, you guys. FREAKING OUT.

And I think the title also applies to my reaction after our first delivery of heating oil this morning.
Holy. Cow.
I’d better learn how to knit faster, cause we’ll be needing some more sweaters this winter.
About Melissa
Mine won’t go to kindergarten for 2 more years. We’re doing a 3 day/week preschool this year and I am freaking about that. Can only imagine what you are going through. My thoughts are with you.
oh my goodness… I so remember Kindergarten!
Ugh I can’t imagine – I already get nervous thinking about kindergarten, and my little guy is only two. Hang in there — I’m sure it’ll be way less scary for her!
This is the second time around sending one to kindergarten and I thought it would be easier this time, its not. I think I’ll be okay if we can just make it through the first few days.
HUGS to you. I remember feeling like that with Quintus but with Jason I seemed much more in control and happy that HE would be okay. Not so sure how I would feel when little Zander goes though
Two words for you:
Home School;)
everything will be fine. let me remind you who we are worried about. fearless, intelligent, friendly and beautiful ellie. i’m worried for her teacher and the other kids.

Hang in there, she’ll be fine.
