First Day of School

I woke up this morning with the scene from Finding Nemo running through my head; the one where Nemo swims in to wake up his dad chanting, "First day of school, first day of school." I've been having dreams for the past few nights that we sleep through the first day and I'm having to explain to the teacher and try to get her to take Moira in her class still. Luckily that's one dream that didn't come true!

I can hardly believe that Moira is old enough for school already and yet here we are! I'm joined by parents all over feeling the exact same feeling I'm sure. I didn't cry when I dropped her off with Michael to attend orientation (I had a doctor's appointment...shocker!), I'm not much of a crier anyway, but mostly I was just so excited for her.

I was amazed to hear the report however, that perhaps I would be better suited for first day of school duty. Apparently single mom's find it the perfect opportunity to flirt with the few dads that show up. For shame... lol! Luckily I'm not one of 'those' wives and found it funny. Nice to know I have such a handsome husband and apparently I'm not the only one that thinks so. Thanks for the compliment ladies! :)

Today marked the beginning of years of education to come and I'm excited to be at this stage. We love learning in our home and it will be fun to have a formal setting for the children now. Maybe one day I'll even be a PTA mom, haha, wouldn't that be fun!

Next year, you'll cry tears of joy when school starts. Our 7 year-old was going nuts and driving us nuts being at home all day.

Ahahaha, I'm sure this is so true! Today, Moira was so disappointed that she didn't get to play with toys (just orientation afterall)... someone is too used to going to daycare, lol.

I love that scene in Finding Nemo - it is perfect for that BIG DAY. Congrats Moira! I hope your year is a wonderful one!

I can't believe she is that old either! Wow, time flies!

The fact that you didn't cry at Moira's first day of school screams "YOU ARE A BENSON" Do any of you ever tear up?

LOL, Sheesh yes, I cry plenty; at least once a day! I'm just so excited for her!! My heart is swollen in excitement! By the way everyone... I want to say congrats to Sandi and Brandon. They are expecting a new addition!
