First day of 9th, 6th, and 1st Grades!

I'm home alone today, for the first time in 14 years!  

My baby is in 1st grade. 

The house is so quiet, it's strange.  

I'm not sure I even know what to do with myself, although, I'm sure I can figure something out. :) 

I'm such a boob.  I've cried at least 3 times that I know of.  

When Ruby got a letter in the mail from her teacher, welcoming her to 1st grade, and telling us what she needs for class.  Yeah, I cried half way through the letter.

And a couple of other times.  My baby is leaving me all day!!! 

And this morning, I thought I was over it, but the minute they got on the bus, I realized that they had left me, and I had to walk home quickly, so the other parents at the bus stop wouldn't see my eye's welling up with tears.

My plan is, to see how things go for a little while.  

They need some part time cooks in our school district, so I'm tempted to do that.  

Every time I think about getting a job again, I keep being reminded about how many times the kids are out of school.  Early day for this and that, or teacher work day, or holiday, etc..etc... 

So I don't want to get a regular job.  

Working for the school district might just be the ticket.  

But for now, I might just have to see how it goes.  

I have lots of plans, but plans take money, and I don't have a lot of money.

SO........ we will see...
