Expectations…………………Remembering back to when I was a kid can be challenging, yet still possible at the ripe old age of 35. It was always this time of year that I was excited and nervous, internal questions of , (Who would be in my class?, Would I like my teacher? , Was I going to do well?, Would my clothes be stylish enough?, Could I remember my locker combination?) some excitement and some anxiety . Well now I have it on the other side as a parent, and the sympathy pain is intense, wanting to reassure the kids all will be well, and what is not, we will deal with when it comes along. Tomorrow I will officially have a middle schooler, elementary schooler, and a preschooler. It will be 3 very different buildings, and 3 very different needs this year. I am at peace that God will give my children grace, and me much patience.
God is good, Life is Hard, I am blessed,
Xo,
Carrie

I took my preschooler to school for the first time this morning... bittersweet - I felt a twinge of sadness but I got over it quickly when I came to the realization that it will just be me and my youngest at home together 3 mornings a week :)
I'm so jonesin' to go set up the lockers with all the cool locker doo-dads! But it's his time to do that for himself! wow
