Tomorrow (well technically today) is the last day of school this year for Destini and Dusten. I will tell you right now what my most favorite parts of this is, and my most least favorite parts. Lets do a "Bullet List"
Least Favorite
*Not having to hear - 10 minutes before its time to leave that Destini/Dusten doesn't have clean bottoms/shirts to wear to school that day. (Socks are also included in this bullet, some how I never hear about underwear...that may be a concern?) WHY COULDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS THE DAY BEFORE!?!?! What exactly do you want me to do about it NOW!?!?!
*Forgetting shoes at Grandmas/Grammys house (SCHOOL SHOES) ending up with me either having to stop at WalMart with child to get new shoes, or taking child to school, backtracking to Walmart, buying new shoes, then taking new shoes to school for child to have. UGH!
*Halfway to school..."MOM!!! I forgot to do my homework yesterday!" (That one really pisses me off, because I ask daily about homework) or "Destini.../Dusten...did you put your homework in your backpack?" Destini/Dusten "Uhhhh...noooo...I forgot)
*Going to bed "early" waking up "early"
Most Favorite
*Not having to hear about uniforms
*Not having to worry about their shoes
*Not having to worry about doing homework
*Not having to get up early, or stop what I'm during during the day to pick them up
*SLEEPING IN!!!
Either way, today will be a bitter sweet moment. Dusten's official Kindergarten graduation was yesterday. He did so great, up until I had him take a photo with his teacher, when we tried to say goodbye and leave the poor kid started the waterworks and started complaining that his tummy hurt, so we signed him out and bought him home. It wasn't until later that evening, when he was making his teacher a "Goodbye/Thank You" Card that he really broke down and it all came to light. Poor kid is heart broken about leaving his teacher, his friends and everything he holds dear to him. I feel for the guy, I really do. Dusten is so sensitive that all these emotions are tearing him up inside. Between Jason and I (good cop/bad cop) we've tried to talk to him about everything, and put it all into light for him. I told him that he has to make the best of tomorrow since its his last day with his class and Ms. Cummings, that only made him cry more, which made me cry. :( I've never had to deal with this, with Destini this is our 5th time doing the whole switch up, switch out with teachers and grades, I've always been more emotional then her. But poor Dusten has grown so fond of his teacher, his friends and everything he is comfortable with. My heart breaks for him, I feel his pain...I've tried to talk him through it. But I know, like any other kid, he'll be sad and emo for a day or 2, but he'll get over it and move on (I hope). Ms. Cummings has been a wonderful light in his life, and I don't blame him for becoming so attached to her. (OH crap...I'm tearing up just typing about it...) Well, I guess since I do have to get my kids to school on time today, I should get my rear end in bed. :)
