School starts tomorrow for many of us here in GA. My oldest "baby" is starting middle school and I'm kind of freaking out inside, but trying my best to hold it together so she doesn't get more anxious because of me.

I doubt I'll sleep tonight...I keep running through my AM schedule in my head. Oh the joys of having 3 kids in 3 different schools!:eek:

Happy New School Year, everyone!:)
 
Oh, how I know that feeling. Isn't it funny how parents seem to freak out more than the kids do? Ah the joys of parenting and how things never really change.
 
Good luck!

Mine will all be starting at the same school, and my *baby* will be in kindergarten!!!! Thankfully she'll be taking the bus w/ her big sisters so I won't worry about her. They don't start until the 25th though, your school starts early!
 
Hey JodiJodi -- wow, you start early there! We have two more weeks, fortunately. I hope you get some sleep tonight and I hope tomorrow goes smoothly!!

That is really early. Do they get more breaks throughout the year? Or does school end earlier?

Maggie:)
 
We finish the school year early too. The last day of school is usually the Friday of Memorial Day weekend.
 
Wow, are you guys every early, my kiddos don't go back until Sept. I haven't even taken my summer holidays from work yet. LOL
 
Yeah, it bugs me that we start and end so early. It's still hot as blazes outside (and the older schools' air conditioning can't keep up). But in May and early June it's not that hot out. It would make so much more sense to end school later when it's not so hot, and start later when it starts to cool off in the fall.

But does anyone listen to me? Nah!
 
Jodi, Good luck to your little ones (and YOU!) tomorrow!
We start the day after Labor Day. And that STILL feels too soon! I love having my girls home with me. Glad I've got this "bun in the oven" to keep me company while the big girls go off to school!:D
 
Crossing my fingers for ya Jodi. I hope all goes well for you and the kids ;)

Here's one mom that will be enjoying brunch with friends tomorrow while the kiddos are off to get educated. I am SO ready to have some time to myself . . . although 6:15 am is going to come early. I've managed to work myself up to waking up at 9:30 am. It's gonna be a rude awakening.
 
We're year round over here, so we don't get our big break until the holiday season. *patiently waits for November*

May everyone have a great school year! :)
 
Hi Jodi
I hope everyone has a wonderful first day today. Middle School can be terrifying--for parents and kids alike. I'm sure your baby will adjust beautifully. I'm sending my youngest to middle school in 2 weeks, but thankfully my daughter will be there too. 3 kids in 3 schools?! You're going to have a busy year! Take care--
 
Oh I know the feeling of having 3 kids in 3 different schools.

I drive them to and from school as the school buses have no ac and here in NC it gets HOT on those school buses.

School doesn't start for another 2 more weeks and I am sooo ready for them to get started already.

These summer breaks are just way too long, can ya tell I'm ready for my brood to start like maybe yesterday ? :p

I know what you mean by starting the school year early. My kids went back on Aug. 6th. The summer break just flew by. My oldest (a junior this year) missed the bus this morning so I had to take him to school (a 25 mile round trip). I was not happy. I never thought I'd say this but I can't wait until he gets his license in November.

My kids got out of school on May 22nd. You're right it is earlyto be going back. I think this is the earliest they've gone back to school.

My kids started school August 4, ugghhhh!!!!

I know the feeling about starting middle school, my oldest son started middle school last year and I was more nervous than he was :eek: I have to say though, in that one year in middle school he grew up pretty fast, he no longer looks like a little boy, he looks and acts like a teenager.

Fortunately, I only have two kids in two different school and my oldest one usually takes the school bus but that will change if he makes the school soccer or track-and-field team. Then the school bus sign goes back on my car :p:D

I am sure your DD will be just fine and adjust beautifully, it is a little scary but also an exciting time. Sending you some sleep-well-tonight vibes.
 
DD got off the bus, came in the house, and when I asked her how her day went, she said "FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN!!" So I guess it went well.:D She said she can't wait until tomorrow when they will actually start learning stuff.

She said her teachers are nice, changing classes went fine, and she had no trouble opening her locker. Yay!
