Ok,since school started I have walked my 6 yr old son to class every morning. I mean, I know he's growing up and I did the whole "letting go" business by showing up the first day of kindergarten, so he can at least give me that much right???
.......WRONG!
See, last Friday his daddy took him to school, and my son asks his dad if he can please walk to class by himself. Of course his dad said yes and so come Monday he tells me this on our way to school and says he wants to continue to walk to class by himself! After a little hyperventilating and what I think may have been an anxiety attack I asked
"Are you sure??" hoping he would see my heart breaking and feel sorry for his momma and say "Of course you can walk me mommy" ....Nope, not a chance! "I'm REALLY sure I want to walk myself to class" were the words that he said that pierced this mommas heart.
So of course like a good mommy I drove through the circle drive instead of parking. Watched as the teacher opened the car door and greeted my little man with a "Good Morning" and watched as he carried his oversized Iron Man backpack and Cars lunch kit with him through the front doors. Of course me being the crazy mommy that I am. I drove around front and parked my truck and watched as my son came out the side doors and crossed the little outside walk and into the hall where his class is. And I have been doing that for the last week! Now don't you judge me!
Today, however, I couldn't park in front cause some other 10 cars decided to block me!
So, after another anxiety attack and a frantic phone call to my hubby who was in the middle a meeting but calmly talked me down, I was ok.
Yea I know, crazy mom. You know, I don't like the way that sounds so much, so how about in spanish La Mami Loca? Yea I like that better.It sounds like it could be a gangster name. ;-)
So there it is. Another morning in the life of La Mami Loca!
