Tears and Fears

First and foremost Emma absolutely loved her first day at school.

I let her sleep in a little bit and when I woke her up she started jumpin up and down singing about school. For the next two hours she pretty much kept asking 'when are we going to school'. I worked from home yesterday and knowing how little I would be getting done so I worked monday evening and i was up at 4AM (hmmm whos the nervous one) and was working then.

We got to school and she automatically went right to her table and started doing the worksheet that was placed there. She was so happy to be there. I did okay till I walked out of the room. Thats when I started getting teary. I heard another child in the room across the hall screaming how he wanted his mommy, and I felt good that, that was not my child.

I was a nervous wreck waiting for her to get home, and kept watching the clock all day long. The time finally arrived for me to go to daycare and pick her up from the bus stop. Her bus was supposed to get there at 4:01pm at 4:20 the bus showed up but my child did not. After I got on the bus and talked with the driver who didnt offer a whole lot of help, i went back home and talked to the school After being on the phone for 35 mins they located my child. Her bus pass had gotten mixed up with another girls in class and so they got put on diff busses. I got my little baby at 4:55 and I was so happy.

We went to Big Louies to enjoy dinner and to give her the opportunity to tell all of us all about her day. Needless to say she had a great time.

The first day of the rest of my life...

Today was a day of days. Work was kind of hectic, I worked my butt off there. When I got through with that I picked Emma up and took her to meet her Kindergarten teacher and to see her classroom. It all seems so real now seeing her cubby and her spot at one of the tables where her name is. It makes me kind of weepy to think that 6 years ago when I was pregnant I was having a hard time picturing my self as a mom. I was so scared, i was positive that i was going to be a horrible mom. Why I don't think I'm a perfect Mom, I think that so far I have done a pretty good job. She has enlightened my life so much, and I cant even begin to imagine what my life would be like without her. They say when you send your child off to school its like the first day all over again. Well I offically have 1 week to get it together before I have to bring her to school next Tuesday.

On another note, our All Female Fantasy Football league had our live draft tonight. I have to say that I had a great time. we did it over the computer, I think that it would be awesome if could have all been in the same room, but logistically I know that can't happen. Anyway I hope I kick some Fantasy Ass!

Speaking of kicking ass, I did my day 3 of the 3o day shred. What I have decided to do, is to do the Jillian Michales DVD 1 day and then alternate hitting the gym the next. This way I keep it fresh and dont get to bored with what I'm doing.
