Once again, we started a new school year. This one was different. This year I had kids at two schools. And I found that to be very distressing. I like knowing that they are there for each other. And I don't like the fact that I have a daughter old enough for Junior High. But, what do you do. I managed to drop Megan off with no tears. I teared up driving over there, and I teared up when she got out of the car, but made sure she didn't see. Then I teared up when Sammy went in. I always have the hardest time when they leave on the first day and then I'm fine. And BTW, Sammy is now Sami.
What I REALLY needed to concentrate on was how grateful I was that they were able to go to school! The Friday before Megan started in on a horrific stomach virus. The poor thing was soooo sick. Up all night throwing up. She lost 9 pounds in one day. OHMYGOODNESS! And of course it took her quite a few days to recover. School didn't start until Wednesday, so we were glad she was able to work it out of her system by the time it started. However, Monday night, poor Sammy was throwing up. Luckily she was done by the morning, she didn't seem to get it as bad as Megan. These kids of mine love school. Sammy was rolling around that rolly backpack of hers for weeks before school started. Good thing we have short summer breaks here! And so far so good! School is going great for both of them, Megan seems to have transitioned just fine. I do think they miss each other though...the other day after school they both came to me and asked if they could go do something, just the two of them. I took them over to the mall for a few hours so they could enjoy their sisterhood.
