Meet the Teacher NIght August 21

So tonight was meet the teacher night for Dean. This year is a big step for us. Being in texas now he is in the public school system. Its a hugh campus. We have driven by it a few times this summer but it really didnt register. Daddy came home from work early so we could all go. Life every meet the teacher night it was crowded. We parked far out from the school as there was no parking so it was a nice walk and talk with Dean. He seemed really excited. Wanted to know where the buses were talked about meeting new friends ect. So inside we went and found his name on a the teachers list. How ironic. Deans teachers name is Mrs. Cox. Well that is easy for him to remember. We walk down what seemed like a long long hall way went into the class room and started the process. Daddy helped him find his locker and walk around the room to get him settled in. We found the library. Its hugh then the music room then the art room. I tell you what we did not have anything like that in preschool. Just a dinky school room and that was that. So then to get to the gym or lunch room you go outside. walk down a very long covered path to the next building. All i could think about was omg hes going to get lost. And of course i know from being inthe school systems myself that there will be someone to walk with them. But is always the though what if he walks off gets left behind ect. So we i made sure i had my list of questions to ask the teachers, the monitors, the office staff. Now the school is so bit it has two offices. Two. On in the main building and one in the other building. Gil just sat back and laughed at all the questions we asked. Even after my long list i am still scared. So we finished looking around and leave the building.
It was the worst for me all i could do was cry. This is a big step. partly because this is his milestone year. My little boy is not so little . Its like the point of no return. Needless to say it was a long walk back to the car. Deans excitement turned a little. He said mommy I do not think i am ready for school. I just want to go back to grandmas. Daddy gets into the car and tells dean he is going to have so much fun this year, make so many new friends ect ect. Then he said and i bet mommy will be here every day.
I toyed with getting a job there in the school system since we got here. I have filled out the application, have my resume, my professional references, but decided against it.
Gil decided that he really wants me home with diana. I love to work with the kids so i decided well i guess if i stay home i will take some kids in. I have one awesome family now. Tons of phone calls , but this one familys schedule really works with me. She is a speech path. for the schools here so she follows the schedule for the kids and vacations and her husband is in the army so his schedule is like gils. I only work 4 days a week so it will free me up on the fridays that i will go and get Abby. That was our other decision for me really not to work so that we can make the pick up arrangements for her.
So any ways we get home last night. i call my parents sobbing. MOMMY IS NOT READY FOR THIS. Lord is Monday going to be hard. I do not know how i am going to be able to let him go on the bus. I am scared to death. Whos going to get him off the bus, where will they take him, will they help him with breakfast, will they take him to the class room. All the questions that i asked but i am still scared. And most of all i am upset because i know dean will be scared and my heartbreaks for that. This mommy thing is still not getting any easier.
So last night Gil said . Man its going to be hard to put diana in school when its time. Then he says We will just home school her . LOL. OH BOY DADDY>
So that was last night and i am dredding Monday. ITs going to be a long weekend.
Its going to be a great adventure. I know we will survive.
