She's off to Junior High!

Shh, Wayne doesn't know, but I had him drop Afton at School for her first day because I couldn't hack doing it. It makes me nervous at the thought of her being so grown up. Wayne got her fees all paid, got her locker combination and schedule (with room numbers) - which, by the way you can't get until you pay the dumb fees - and she was set. Wayne asked her if she needed any help to her locker or class or anything and she said no and was off.
Poor daddy about lost it right there. He saw her intermingling with the 'boys' and had thoughts run through his mind of what they were thinking of his daughter - not the nice kind either - I am sure she will have to give a full run down tonight about those darned boys.
Michael doesn't start school until Monday, big 5th grade. Brendan will also go back to day care with preschool as he isn't quite 5. One more year for him! I am sure I'll be the one dropping him off - Wayne has made it quite clear from his birth that he won't be able to hack dropping him off for school on that first day. I don't think it will be bad, he is already excited to go and will be much the same as Afton, which I am not sure is better or worse. To have the child excited to go and care less that you walk away from the building with you head hanging low felling un-needed or having your child cling to you and you thinking all day if they are okay. One of the great things about being a parent I guess.
We all got to go to a work party last night with bowling and games. The kids had so much fun - we did too, but I'm not a bowler - I look like Elaine (from Seinfeld) dancing when I bowl. That is one coordination I lack. I got such a horrible score - with bumpers - all three kids beat me! Quite dismal.
