Sadly, my oh so precious time with my kidlets is nearing it’s end. This school year marks a major life change for me as my last wee baby heads off with her siblings to join the wonderful world of Junior Kindergarten. She couldn’t be more excited. I couldn’t be more devastated. So with my baby girl heading off & my oldest verging on teenaged hell, I’m certain this will be the last summer I truly have them all to myself, just me & my babies, hanging out, doing our thing, not wanting or needing anyone but each other to find our summer bliss. After 13 years of birthing & raising my babies & toddlers, it’s time to put that behind me & move on with the next phase of my parenting life. So, this week, I do my Wordless Wednesday post not in celebration of the rug rats & yard apes heading back to school & leaving me to my peace & quiet after 2 months of being joined at the hip, but rather, in an attempt to come to terms with, & find the brighter side, to what next week will bring.
Signed,
The Mayor!

I have a feeling that first day will be a bit of a doozy. I think it will be for me too…three years from now. Hugs mama. It’ll be okay.

That school one is hilarious. Thanks for linkin up for WW!
No wordless wednesdays, but when you find the words to help me come to grips “with coming to grips and finding the brighter side” of my babies growing up, let me know, will ya?
because mama done forgetting how to smile when the older two are taller than her, and baby asked 2 days ago for me to not hold his hand anymore.
Any cheap flights you can take out here to hold me???
xoxoxo
Oh Lord, that 3rd one just put me on the floor! I spent so many years defining myself as ‘Mom’ that I think I understand you feeling a little lost. You will find the bright side. For me it was that they actually would seek me out especially to talk about things. When they are there all the time they don’t have “news” to share.

My fave is the little gator hitching a ride on his mama’s head. Best I ever did was pull them in a sled to the bus.
My baby up and left home this summer and I no longer have littles to get ready in the morning. It doesn’t suck. Mostly because we have foster children coming and I know I’ll be back to my old ‘don’t eff with my kids at the bus stop’ self, soon enough.
