I am ready, wait no I am not, yes I am ready, wait....

No I am not. I am having my very own internal debate.

Max is starting pre-school on September 7th and it is all I can think about these days. If anyone were inside my head they would be amazed at how many thoughts are bouncing around in there.

I know he is ready....I think he is ready...I hope he is ready.  ugh.

I am so excited and nervous all at the same time. He will be going full time, 8 am to 2 pm. They don't offer a part time (which was kind of what I was hoping for), AND he will be riding the bus to and from school. This makes me  have heart palpitations. We did talk to one of the teachers when we did his registration papers and they said that there will only be 3 and 4 year olds on the bus. They have an aide that gets the kids to their seat, straps them in (all the buses have seat belts), and then the bus does not pull away until they sit back down. I am still nervous.

I am nervous about a million things; he will be scared on the bus, he will be scared at school, I am  nervous about a 100 other things. I really hope that all those mom's out there that have kids in school already will tell me these are all normal thoughts.

But at the same time I am excited....I am excited to have only one child to deal with during the day, a child that is still taking 2 naps a day. Which translates to me having a bit of free time during the day. At the same time all this excitement often turns to guilt. Guilt that I am sending my kid off for someone else to take care of. I know that I am being silly but sometimes it is virtually impossible for me to turn my head off. ugh.

I don't know that I can take 2 more weeks this.
