I can't believe the time is already upon us. Riley will be entering the big, scary world of school. It may be more scary to me than to Riley. I lie awake at night and have waves of guilt wash over me. What am I thinking, letting her go? I come from a world of home schooling, so this is very new and a sad to me. In this last week I am cramming our schedule with swimming, making cookies and doing special crafts. I guess I'm afraid that after August 20th I'll never have a chance to make cookies with her again. I'm just being an emotional pregnant lady again. Oh boy, am I emotional.
I know mothers adjust to this and survive. I talk to myself like this all the time through motherhood. I know mothers have 4 kids and survive, so I can probably do it. So if moms all over the world send their kids off to school and eventually stop crying, so will I, right?

oh, man. that made my eyes water. I love you.
It's so hard to "let go". It's the hardest with your first b/c everything you do is a first, be it school, driving, dating, etc. I wasn't pregnant when Sher started school and Phil had to take her to her first day b/c I didn't trust my eyeballs not to leak. It never seems like it will get easier, but you will adjust and survive; trust that you will.
AAAhhh! I'm crying too! It'll be okay.
