The start of Grade 1...the start of growing up...eeek...that already just sounds way too grown up for my Little Mamou to be associated with...all flash backs of the last 6 years drifted by in my mind as I was walking her up the driveway to the classroom.
It really was a day filled with so many mixed emotions, coupled with a lack of sleep due to the butterflies.
I'd love to say that today was the most perfect day...but I'd be lying to you...how'd you know? 'cause my nose would be growing out your pc monitor right now. It started with holding back the tears with dropping Little Mamou at her new classroom, to then collecting her and finding out that none of her 3 best friends are actually going to aftercare (BIG bummer here! 'cause I'm the working mom here), then having to see that sad face only appearing when I had to leave her at aftercare, to then collecting her from aftercare with a bloody injured big toe which resulted in bouts of screaming when it came to bathtime...sjeew...long day...breatheeeeee....
Holding thumbs that the days actually get easier 'cause the start-off was a bumpy one, filled with tons of intense emotions cramped into a 24hour time slot...gees...like a million and one emotions running through the mind on a continuous basis...both positive and negative...but either way...way too much for my little soul to endure in one solid day.
Stayed well away from any type of caffeine or sweets (work colleagues' birthday at the office today, avoided the cake!). That caffeine or sugar crash would probably have seen me bent down on all fours, snot-a-ly sobbing my eyes out in the middle of the office, in front of all work colleagues, 'yes that might be the most professional thing to do' (sarcasm intended)
Anyhoo, I am finally a Mommy to a Grade 1 pupil!
Love and Light
