First Day of School

Today was my oldest daughter's first day of kindergarten.  I swear, I was more nervous than she was!  She was cool as a cucumber, reassuring me with a wink as we were walking out the door

while I've been a nervous wreck leading up to this.  Last night, I was tossing and turning, although I almost never have insomnia.  Maybe it's because I write until all hours, but when I'm going to bed at 3 am and getting up with the kids at 7 am, there really isn't room for not sleeping.  Sleeping is as great as eating a huge slice of chocolate cake with ice cream on top.

But despite all my worries, everything went off without a hitch.  She gave me hugs and kisses as the kids were lining up, then skipped off to class with a wave.

Hope all the parents out there also have great first days of school for their kids.  Hard to believe it's almost September!  Best time of year.  :)
