Back to school... again!

Today was my son's third time heading to preschool and I had looked forward to this day since May, but much to my surprise, I was overcome with sadness. To give you a little background, I am not the kind of mom who weeps at the thought of her children going to kindergarten or preschool for that matter. In fact, I am the kind of mom who counts down the days 'til school starts and this time was no different. Taking care of two children as opposed to one, is just harder - for me anyway. It's easier taking one to the grocery store than two, especially if they're in fighting mode. So, this day couldn't come fast enough. Yet this morning, as I combed my sons hair, packed his backpack and took a picture of him, my eyes started to well up. I shook my head in disbelief as I was not one of those moms. The fact is, no matter how much our children drive us nuts during the summer months and how excited we get when August rolls around, we miss our children. Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled that I can run errands in peace this morning, but am still missing my little man.

So, how do you handle going back to school?
