First Day - Grade R...

Yay for first days at school!!! My lil pocket monster did really well today!!!! What was even more awesome was that his dad could be there today and really made the day even more spectacular for him!!!  Awesomeness!!! I am just glad that dad managed to pull it together and get himself to be a part of this momentous day...though I know it did mean alot to him to have been there with his son...I think...I dunno...I don't want to put too much thought into that one...

So...I'm a little stressed about this whole school thing...I know my son needs his education and schooling is all part of life and know I can't keep him wrapped up in a cocoon all his life (which is so not what I'm wanting to do) but in my line of work...with all the stories I hear about what happens at schools these days!!!!!  It makes me want to curl up in a ball, hold my head in my hands and bawl my eyes out!!!!! It's freakin scary!!!!

I so seriously do NOT want my anxiety disorder to rub off on my son...eeerrrrrr....gosh I hope it has'nt started already....booohooo!!!!

Anyway, it's my last day of being on vacation...tomorrow it's back to reality...

Well I'm off to collect my little pocket monster from his first day at big school!!!!  Cannot wait to hear what the lil man has to say!!!!  Awesomeness!!!!!!!

 

Holidays!

So as my holidays draws to a conclusion...it ends with seeing my five year old son go off to 'big school'!!!! He commences his schooling career this year...jumping off to an excited start to Grade R.  oh boy!  I'm not quite sure what to expect and I hope that he will adapt well. 

All his school gear and necessities are sorted and labelled after much running around from shop to shop to get all the goods on the list.  Shoo!!!!  It feels like I am heading back to school.  So after I see him off to school tomorrow...I head back to reality the following day and drag myself back to the office.  I have already been contacted with regard to a case of mine that presents with some sticky issues!!! Blegh!!!!  Well, this year I plan to take it one step at a time.  At MY pace, it will be done...take it or leave it....

This holidays was low key...it saw the passing on of my grandfather on Christmas Day after a terribly long illness (Renal failure).  he was laid to rest on New years day...he made sure he will be well remembered.

So now I sit and plan my sons birthday party....Pirates of the Caribbean theme!  Ai Captain!
