Almost time for school....

Well, we did the school shopping thing and I agree with Kelly, they get nothing personal! And a first grader that needs to bring 50 pencils to school? I mean what are they going to do with 50 pencils! And for that matter why does a 5th grader need crayons? I mean are they going to color? That seems strange to me. And they need a bottle of glue and 4 glue sticks...for 5th grade? Must be a Mississippi thing
And we did the "Mom I need a new outfit for the first day of school" thing. Funny. While Emy Kennedy and I were all in the same dressing room trying things on, Kennedy looks at me and says "Mom, were you as small as me when you were my age?" And I am just not sure how to take that! And I tell her that when I graduated from high school I only weighed 98 pounds, and I can see the disbelief in her eyes. WOW the pressure...
Our lives are about to go into "busy crazy mode" and I feel terrified about it! I hate the rush rush rush of the fall and the lonesome wife of a coach.
Between Kennedy's practices/games/tournaments
Corey's college and select practices/games/tournaments
Mac's practices/games
My work hours
It gets very crazy.
My parents are visiting at the end of this montha dn it is all I am focusing on...relief, help, companionship YEA!!!

Well we made it back to Mississippi. And although it was great seeing Corey (he said we could not be gone again that long) it is difficult to be back here. Especially after being among so many friends and loved ones.
