Wicked Wednesday...Back To School...Men 101

Tuesday...First Day Of School

Here is "The Boy" about to embark on his very first day of school ...ever. No pre-k or Kindergarten has ever beheld such a wonder because we had home schooled from day one.But this year he decided to give "regular" school a look see. I stoically did the school supply shopping,snack gathering and Open House drop in.

We started him on a schedule so the early morning rush wouldn't be.

All the rules about sharing,being polite and some kids not understanding those concepts were discussed.

I loaded up his little backpack last night and checked it again this morning.

Then it was time to go. The drive to the school was filled with chatter about how cool this was going to be and how much fun he was going to have.

"I see a parking space Mom!" he called out. He grabbed up his things and turned to me before we got out of the car.

I snapped this pic of him...Was that a look of apprehension? I wasn't sure.

One last kiss at the door to his classroom and he was gone.

I returned home to my quite house put in a load of wash,cleaned up the breakfast dishes, fed the menagerie and made myself another cup of coffee.

And then I cried.
