And thanks...ok...thanks for making me cry at work! And thanks for making me know that my kids are definitely not ready for school yet...yikes we have a lot to do! i know how you feel...being a working mom sucks sometimes. Max has asked me every day this week if i can stay home and play with him. Then he resorted to telling me, "i need to go in the car and go to work too." so he knew i couldn't stay home, but he figured out that if he came with me, then we'd be together. Ugggh, it's a killer! <BR/>Glad you're coping like i do...tears are a great release. <BR/>Love you,<BR/>GoobsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18065716.post-47866162480726757332008-01-23T22:35:00.000-05:002008-01-23T22:35:00.000-05:00Wow, that is precious.

Those pictures are priceless and I love her retell of how school was..makes me realize I should give the kindergartners I work with a little more credit. (today was just one of those days where you get frustrated with their neediness...it's hard for them too!) Good luck tomorrow :) <BR/><BR/>Oh and thanks for the bday card and the adorbale picture of Harper!!<BR/><BR/>MeganAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18065716.post-39554707498048096882008-01-23T21:14:00.000-05:002008-01-23T21:14:00.000-05:00I am glad to hear the Harper's first and second da...I am glad to hear the Harper's first and second day went well. You have done a wonderful job preparing her for school. I am sure she will do great!!! Hopefully she doesn't play any tricks on her teachers...like pretending that she doesn't know her colors :)<BR/>ShannonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18065716.post-85617084969598615772008-01-23T10:55:00.000-05:002008-01-23T10:55:00.000-05:00Wow, she looks so cute and *choke* grown up with t...Wow, she looks so cute and *choke* grown up with that backpack on. I'm glad to hear she did well and had a fun day. The way you reacted and felt are the exact ways I picture myself being. <BR/><BR/>About the only time I leave Zachariah is for an hour in the nursery at church. I worry about him the whole time (and usually end up peeking in the windows), and I always ask about what he did and how he was. Come to think of it, the volunteers probably dread me. But you did great. Here's to another milestone for you and Harper.Mommy Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02272248293460562006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18065716.post-35644884043876230232008-01-23T07:39:00.000-05:002008-01-23T07:39:00.000-05:00glad it all worked out!glad it all worked out!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474928571871603804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18065716.post-37957297396784997472008-01-23T06:38:00.000-05:002008-01-23T06:38:00.000-05:00Oh, she's so stinkin' sweet and smart!

I LOVE the "cut out by myself but the teacher helped me."<BR/><BR/>I'm glad she did so well. It is kind of nice that she reacted the way she did. Although it broke your heart, it probably made you secretly feel good that she missed you a bit. Andrew, the ultimate Momma's boy, has NEVER, not once, turned and said goodbye to me. Just runs in the door. From day one. Little booger. Couldn't he even ONCE pretend that he likes to be with me? :)Gisellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04663692701370471998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18065716.post-70969109947783400032008-01-23T06:21:00.000-05:002008-01-23T06:21:00.000-05:00SO glad it went so well, besides the tears on your...SO glad it went so well, besides the tears on your part (which is perfectly NORMAL and HEALTHY-- gawd, you should have seen me on Cal & E's first days of daycare... still brings a lump to my throat).<BR/><BR/>I bet Harper's teacher is just as thrilled to have such a smart, sweet, and funny little girl in her class. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and the backpack pictures are priceless!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05170500094049647497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18065716.post-38609509663329968172008-01-22T23:39:00.000-05:002008-01-22T23:39:00.000-05:00Wow... let me clean up these tears and maybe I can...Wow... let me clean up these tears and maybe I can coherently read the second half of that.
