I like having my kids home during the holidays because I get to sleep later and don't have to wash uniforms all the time or get them into bed on time. But it wears thin real quick. Then I can't wait for school to start. There's nothing wrong with wanting some me time. It makes me a better mum because I'm not frustrated and worn out and the kids need a break from me too!

So I guess you could say I'm a Yahoo mom. Give those Boo-Hoo moms some tissues and tell them to suck it up!

Naturally my G/T daughter, though only in 1st grade, took a map of the school with her and had carefully plotted her course. All was well. Then I went in my car and cried. Now she's in 7th grade and I have two more to add to the mix. I don't boo-hoo any more. I rejoice that they get to go to school so I don't get calls at work saying how bored they are at home. On another note, our elementary has a Boo-Hoo Breakfast (that's what they call it) for parents on the first day of school each morning.....I'm proud to say I've never been!

It reminded me of when my daughter was about 6 months old, and I was in the checkout line at the grocery. The woman in front of me was yahooing about school starting. Well, I was still in babylove and couldn't imagine being separated from my precious darling. I was thinking really bad thoughts about that woman! Well, five years later, my tune had changed and as I enjoyed my days of freedom, I mentally apologized for my evil thoughts about that woman's fitness for motherhood. I still love being with my darling daughter who's now grown and married, but I love not being responsible for her anymore. Life is good at all the stages and we can embrace and enjoy each phase. Hugs to you young mothers. Great blog, Patti.

I thought I was ready for Luke to go to school, but on Sunday night I was balling like a baby, of course while I was in bed, by the way I didn't do that with the other kids (weird)!?! I was just thinking to myself, what the heck am I going to do?! Here it is Monday and after dropping them off I still feel a little out of place by myself. I am sure that the feeling will wear off and then I'll strictly be a yahoo mom. Well I am sorry to hear that Ethan isn't feeling well and for you too. I know you really enjoy the alone time!!
