all by myself, don't want to be all by myself anymore. . .

Katie, got in the car today after school and started to tell me about her day. She said that she went to the bathroom and her class left. I asked where they went and she said they went to see a police car. At this point she and I got distracted and she never finished the story.

Tonight I was checking my email and I received this email from Katie's teacher

Hey!! Just wanted you to know what happened today. We had lined up to go outside to see a police car. Before we left the room , Katie realized she had to go to the bathroom---neither Mrs. Hutton nor I realized she had gone. When she came out, the class was not in the room. She sat down on the carpet and cried. The assistant from across the hall came to ask me something, found Katie and brought her to me. I am so sorry!!!!! Mrs. Hutton and I both loved on her and told her how sorry we were...... She stopped crying as soon as she saw us..... Then she got aggravated because she missed the police car so she went to see it with another class.
I don't expect that to ever happen again but we also talked about what to do if it did. Again, I am so sorry!!!

I laughed so hard while reading this. I had Katie retell what happened, she is so cute and animated I had to try hard to keep a straight face. She has great teachers and it is just so funny that this happened to Katie and that she didn't finish the story in the car.

New School Year

It is hard to believe that I have a 2nd grader and a Kindergartner. This year of school promises so much change and growth. Kelcee continuing to grow and learn so much every day, and Katie starting out on her schooling experience. Now with just Gavin and I at home the house is so quiet and our days go by quickly. I look back at the pictures of when they were all under 5 and the time of day didn't matter, just getting basic things done was my goal. I miss their baby faces, but I look forward to our new found independence. My children bring me so much joy and I am glad I am their mother.
