I cried as I walked away from the school and mine (blush) are in the 3rd and 4th grade. I wouldn't want to do the kindergarten drop off again unless it would bring back more time with them.
First day of kindergarten was emotional but the 5 yo sucked it up!But on day 3 she had a meltdown, causing meltdowns all around. Now I await the meltdown of the 3 yo's first day of Ballet..today!Letting go is sad, beginnings are scary for wee ones!Be brave!Happy Mothering!
I totally forgot about all of the other post-its once I got to the last one. It's so true. I just tweeted something like that in the #PPDChat I participated in yesterday. Just cut yourself some slack, because you know what? You (WE!) deserve it. {Hugs}
Oh please please please let that surgery be any other day!!! I have no idea what this book is, but wicked jealous of your reading time. If you get it, that is.
Wow and I thought our schools were bad when we have to bring photo id to be checked against the sex offender registry... hope the rest of the week gets better for you!
OMG, I totally love the part about reading setting an example for the kids, not that you're ignoring them!! It's the truth, isn't it?? I'm just being a good role model when I can barely tear myself away from a good book to play another game of Candyland, right?
Can you believe Tim had the nerve to be gone on a business trip on Garrett and Landon's first day of preschool? I was so angry...it was pure chaos trying to get all the kids ready by myself and then get them all dropped off at their schools on time...praying that no one cried or had a hard time, including myself. Thankfully it went well but still...
Yes as the others said, seriously a password to pick up your own kid? That is insane. When Alex wakes up she likes to say "wake up it's morning". And open all of the blinds to prove she is right
"I see the day" just makes me tear up...if we all saw the day rather than all the crap we had to get done in said day, life may be a little happier. Love it!
"I see day." I think that is so cute. It would make my day. Yes, Shell we all need to cut ourselves some slack. We do not have to do it all. What surgery is your hubby having? Mine is having shoulder surgery tomorrow. Good luck with all you have going on.
You know those things you want to say, but you might seem a little weird if you walked up to the moms you just met on the playground and said them? That's what I spill here.

Aww first day of Kindergarten, My baby starts pre-school in a few weeks, :D Mom's always cut others slack but then we never remember ourselves!
I like the idea of cutting yourself some slack... great reminder!
I see the day! That is so cute.
Of course you KNOW it will all happen at the same time... that's the way life is!!
Aren't we all our own biggest critic? Hope you can cut yourself some slack - then tell me how to do it!
Busy reading = good example LOVE IT!!

Hope you don't mind :)
You need a password to pick up your child from school. wow!
Doing anything special to celebrate?
I get the fingerprinting, the password through me. Must be a lot of divorced families, or angry grandparents???
Would you cut yourself some slack woman.
If it's anything like my surgery, I have to be there @ 5:15am. UGH!
Fingerprinted WTF? To volunteer? That's crazy!
I get the fingerprinting, but a password?
You would be blown away by the way our school announces the teachers each kid has.
I need to stop reading these Kindergarten posts. I'm about to start crying and school hasn't even started yet!

Love "I see the day!" How sweet is that?!
Good luck w/Kinder, I'm sure he'll do great.
Nicely put. I feel a little better about what I have and haven't gotten done.
You always make me chuckle on the inside.
Um, I save passwords all the time...only to forget where I save them. You're not alone!
Definitely cut yourself some slack! You deserve a break!
I am LOVING the flipflops!!!
Stopping by from post It Thursday, I am your newest follower.
I love the idea of fingerprinting...we can never be too safe!
I always forget where I've kept my passwords. It's always somewhere that should be obvious. But then again, I think I have early Alzehimer's.
Whose blog is this? :)
I totally feel you in several of your post its! I have so much I want to do before school starts but it is nuts right now!
One week to go for us! I can't wait lol

First time reading the post it note post, such a clever idea!
Love your list of things to do before school starts! LOL!Great PINT post! :o)
So with you on that summer list. Mine can bite me too! Fingerprinted? Seriously?
Cutting the slack - best advice on the planet. Ever.

I love that last word. That needs to be my new mantra.
Fingerprints & passwords? Really???
Safety first. I guess.
Oh please please please let that surgery be any other day!!!
I have no idea what this book is, but wicked jealous of your reading time. If you get it, that is.
First day of kinder is always so sweet. Kinda sad, kinda happy.
My to do list for the summer didnt even get glanced at... LOL oh well.
I cannot believe that school is starting up already for you guys!
It's almost a little sad that they have to fingerprint now to keep kids safe, but I guess whatever works best...
Aww, I love how he wakes you up. How cute! My oldest used to say "mommy we can get up b/c it's good morning day time"
I hope the first day of kindergarten goes well! I am sure he will love it
Great list! I love it!
Wow and I thought our schools were bad when we have to bring photo id to be checked against the sex offender registry... hope the rest of the week gets better for you!
I hope you ALL enjoyed the first day of school:)

Fingerprinted? Hmmm...is that anything like that fingermegood shot?
No?
Oops.....
And yes...bells are ringing, halls are filling....sigh...pants are sagging. Not mine of course
I love how he wakes you up! My youngest says "Mama I sleep good!"

It's not good being so hard on yourself. I am a victim of that too.
Hang in there girl! You should take the mean inner girl 40 day challenge with Jenn and I. It starts tomorrow. Let me know if you want the info.
I am #1 in being hard on myself. You are a great mom! So is Mockingjay a book in a series? I have never heard of it.
I never heard of having a password to pick up your child. Interesting...
you just make me giggle..so cut yourself some slack, you know that you deserve it ...and some new shoes for Fall...definately new shoes. :)
"I see the day!" maybe the cutest thing ever!!
I always store things in my berry and forget...
I like the last one the best. Why can't we cut ourself enough slack?!?
It's the pits that the last days of summer is full of rainy days...bleck!
Yes as the others said, seriously a password to pick up your own kid? That is insane. When Alex wakes up she likes to say "wake up it's morning". And open all of the blinds to prove she is right
I'm taking that last Post-it to heart. How true!
Oh loved your notes. THanks for stopping by today. I hope you do my fun tag. If not no worries. I hope you have a wonderful day..
Uh oh. So does this mean Monkey doesn't want to go to Kindergarten??
LOL at your list of things to accomplish post it. ;-)
"I see the day" just makes me tear up...if we all saw the day rather than all the crap we had to get done in said day, life may be a little happier. Love it!
Fingerprinted to go into class - now that's sophisticated!
So excited for school to start! Ours starts tomorrow.
I "see the day" way too early these days now that school is back in session... :)
"I see the day" - that is the cutest!! Ugh, school starting. No more sleeping in on days off. Yuck.
Ally
Sounds like you're stressing! It will be ok, take a deep breath. Cause "mommy, I see the day". That is just too cute!
Your little guy will LOVE Kindergarten, he's just trying to show you he's a big boy and doesn't want you to worry.
I found myself laughing several times. Your example of reading & mommy I see the day. Happy PINT!
Finger printing isn't bad. You give your thumb print for your DL. lol. I had to be finger printed for my job
Good luck with school starting! We had our first day of kinder yesterday and it was filled with tears. Hope yours goes smoothly!
Great post its! It had me LOL about your little unimpressed kindergartener. Haha! BTW, I tought of today when I dropped my cell in my cofee! UGH! :)
Love your last post it! I have been soooooo overwhelmed with back to school! I so need to cut myself some slack! Thanks for the reminder!
Love the Mom is going to READ!!!!!!!!
I'm stealing the 'not ignoring you' comment! Fingerprinted??? Hmmmm.
"I see day." I think that is so cute. It would make my day. Yes, Shell we all need to cut ourselves some slack. We do not have to do it all. What surgery is your hubby having? Mine is having shoulder surgery tomorrow. Good luck with all you have going on.
"i see the day!" i love that! oh, and you should your advice on cutting some slack :)
"Mommy I can see the day"....that melts my heart! It's the sweetest thing I've heard in a long time!
I had to get fingerprinted for my internship.
I found it to be highly unsettling.
