I am so not looking forward to that. I'm so happy that my little guy has another year before preschool, and that's only 2 hours per day! I've seen so many status updates on Facebook these past couple of weeks, of moms who cannot wait for their kids get back to school...I really hope I never feel that way...can't imagine. Anyway, I'm glad to read someone else is feeling the same way that I am feeling.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05439718281949127886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-38241623480518008452009-08-18T08:20:23.591-04:002009-08-18T08:20:23.591-04:00yep me too- my little guy starts the big K next w...yep me too- my little guy starts the big K next weekChristina Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01799776834213400246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-81252478599131752142009-08-18T07:36:24.941-04:002009-08-18T07:36:24.941-04:00You girls always make me feel better and not so cr...You girls always make me feel better and not so crazy :)Jennifer Juniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07087072033452320694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-36677340590185045282009-08-17T23:58:48.851-04:002009-08-17T23:58:48.851-04:00I found your blog today while searching for the pe...I found your blog today while searching for the perfect "ribbon flower" for one of my latest projects, and I read your current post...I could not agree more with what you are experiencing! <br /><br />As a mom of two girls, every August sends me into endless fits of irrational sappiness and uncontrollable teary eyes. Something tells me that it's never going to get easier, which is oddly comforting.<br /><br />I plan to do a little "Back to School Shopping" of my own...on my list:<br />*Box of Kleenex - maybe 2 boxes.<br />*White Chocolate Latte from local coffee shop - Biggie sized.<br />*The newest Picoult novel that I STILL haven't had the chance to read yet.<br />*Sweatpants (I figure, if I'm going to cuddle up for my tearfest, I might as well be wearing a new pair of pants)<br /><br />I'll be rootin' you on from here!

My son isn't the easiest child, and having him home has made juggling my Etsy shop hard. But, I wouldn't trade it for anything. I will miss him immensely. I'll be loading the shop back up in a week and keeping myself busy so I don't dwell on it too much. They grow up way too fast don't they?
