First Day of School

Unlike a lot of Moms out there, I'm always excited for school to start!  There's just something about my kids wrestling and screaming and fighting all day that I don't totally enjoy.  Brigzen (5) started Kindergarten this year.  The first few days he didn't love it.  He thought it was way to long........man, 1st Grade is going to kill him!  Taysen (9 -10 in a couple days) started 4th Grade, and hasn't minded going back.  Rykley (12) started  Jr. High.  He wasn't nervous at all, but I'm pretty sure I almost had 5+ panic attacks just thinking about it.  I was so worried he'd get lost trying to find 7 different classes every day, or that the older kids would be mean (Jr. High is not as friendly of an environment as Elementary School), and the other usual things most people worry about when their kid goes to a new school.  I totally organized his locker, and included everything in it I could think of that he might ever possibly need.  Apparently thinking ibuprofen was okay was a bad idea.  He had to throw it away cause "drugs" aren't allowed in school!!!  He's totally loved Jr. High though, and has showed me I had nothing to worry about.
