Kindergarten Registration

Yuck. Ugh. Annoying. Irritating. Um....just a few of the pleasant words I could come up with for what my morning felt like. I went to register Sadie Jane for Kindergarten this morning. I didn't bring her with me, b/c I was able to go up there a few weeks ago with her and a friend of ours took us on a tour and we were able to meet the teachers, etc., so I didn't feel a need to drag her up there with me today while I filled out a hundred pieces of paperwork! I felt so out of place today at her new school. I know I will look back on this and laugh one day, b/c she'll be fifteen years old and I will feel ridiculous for ever feeling this way, but for now, I am allowing myself time to be irritated. I'm just irritated that these past 5 years have gone by so quickly. I am irritated that I feel like I have to "let go" so soon. I am irritated that the VERY FIRST YEAR my child starts school, the STUPID school board decides to extend the day and now my sweet angel will not be home until freaking 4 o'clock in the afternoon every day. S-T-U-P-I-D!!!!!!! I mean, what Kindergartner has to stay at school until almost 4:00??? R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S. I never thought I would say this, but after today, I would give my right arm if we could afford to put our kids in a sweet little Christian private school. Her school just seemed so big today! There were people and kids running around everywhere and I just feel like little Sadie will be lost! I have been praying for a long time that God would put her in the most perfect classroom for her and that He would place her with the teacher that she is meant to be with and that there would be extra special SWEET friends in her class that would help her to be a better person and friend for years to come and that she will be the same for them. So, I just have to give it over to Him and KNOW that HE has got this! Until I completely let go, I am going to at least let myself continue to be irritated for at least a little bit longer. I've dreaded this day for a while. I've never looked forward to her going to "big" school. But, I have been ever so blessed with the best preschool around. So, I am extrememly thankful for that and I am just going to eat her up all Summer long and pray that each day goes by S-L-O-W-L-Y....until August 6th. Boo.
