She is SO ready, Me...Ummm...yeah...NOT so much!!

Well we had meet the teacher and curriculum night for Brooke tonight. I met her teacher (whom I loved)...saw her classroom (LOVE HER SCHOOL!!!) and we got to hear about EVERYTHING they are going to do and learn throughout the year (completely overwhelming!!) and yet I still can't believe that she starts kindergarten on Monday!! Most moms are sad when their kids start kindergarten and if I am being real honest I am a little sad also but if I am being even more honest...above all I am scared and overwhelmed.....when they started talking about the curriculum and telling me that my child who as of now knows next to nothing (okay she is pretty smart but still!!!) will in the next six weeks be taking spelling tests and reading books....I had to physically make sure that my chin was not on the ground. We have to sign papers and do homework and make sure they are in the dress code and they have lunch money and return their library books.....I once sent Brooke to day care wearing only one shoe....seriously that happened....don't ask how cause I can't answer but does it even really matter?? she literally only wore one shoe.....and I didn't even have two kids at the time and I wasn't in school so it is a lot of pressure on me now to make sure that she not only has both shoes on but that they are the appropriate shoes for gym class and that they are tied because NO Ms. Kindergarten teacher she does not know how to tie her shoes yet (maybe we should buy Velcro!) My crazy life is about to get even crazier and I know the next few weeks and even months are going to be an adjustment period for us all....I think I need to go buy some sticky notes or something!
