Big Monday

I survived my first Seminary class this morning. It went okay. As my son, who is in the class noted, no one fell asleep. I even saw a few sleepy grins. I was sweating bullets, but kept that hidden! I know they can smell fear. So I will keep plugging along until I get the hang of this new, huge piece of my life.

In other news, I sent my baby to Kindergarten today!! Wow, the time really flew by. I am sitting here in my home office, alone. No one else is in the house but me. Weird. For her part, Paige seemed very ready to go to school and very comfortable once she was there. My heart soared when I saw one of her best friends from preschool last year in the classroom. (hey, Mom's have a right to have a soaring heart when they know their baby is going to be okay! sniff.) As I said my good-byes and walked to the car I rolled around the idea of shedding a tear. It was definitely an emotional morning. But I didn't cry. I just got in the car and drove home.


So I have already packed in a whole days worth of activity and it's not even 9:30 yet. I guess I'll go work on tomorrow's seminary lesson :)


Have a great week!

Erin, you're on to the start of another phase in your life - the first time in 15+ years you don't have any little ones home during the day!

I wish I could have seen Paige's face when she got to "real school" this morning. Sounds like she was ready to go.

I was thinking of you already at seminary class this morning when I got up. And I could have used another hour or so of sleep, so couldn't wrap my head around your schedule!

Crazy time of life, isn't it Erin?! I'm so glad you're a seminary teacher --- those kids are really blessed to have you. I'd love to drop in for some spiritual uplift from you!
