The kids ALL went back to school today. Sad sad day for me :'(( I got so used to spending all waking hours with them that I’m all of a sudden having withdrawal symptoms.
My hunny & I had to split driving duties in bringing the kids to school. In as much as I want to take ALL 3 to school myself & shower them with sloppy kisses & bear hugs before they start their day, I am only 1 person -boohoo!
Ate’s college schedule is crazy. Today, we both had to wake up at 5 so she can be in school before 7AM. My poor baby.

| Cuddling in the car with her new travel blankie 🙂 |
 |
| My baby all grown up </3 |
 |
| Couldn’t help tearing up as I watched her go in. It seems like yesterday when I brought her to pre-school (where of course I stayed ’til the very end -everyday!) |
 |
| And the tears continue to fall! :'(( Pretty soon she won’t be needing -or wanting, her mommy anymore. |
I was up all night (and morning) worrying if she will be able to make friends quickly -or if she will have somebody to eat lunch with.
My ate is like a diesel fueled car -it takes her long to warm up to people. And she’s shy around newbies. So I was really praying hard for good new friends -she will be spending 4 long years with them after all. Thank God my prayers were answered. God is good. Ate texted me midway that she made several new friends & that they were eating lunch together. Only then was I able to breathe normally again.
I think even when she’s 100 years old, she will always be my baby, & I will always worry about her. I know that I need to let her try out her wings -she will be 18 soon.

| The box I prepared for my sweetness <3 |
 |
| Top: Extra Black flats (uniform), Colored flats, slippers. Below: Snacks, Extra set of clothes. (You can buy these boxes from SM’s plastic ware dept.) |
 |
| Soft & oh-so-fluffy blanket & neck pillow. So she can sleep during her travel time. |
 |
| Books to keep her occupied if she gets stuck in traffic, or if she has a long wait for the next class. (These are her choices, she is more serious a reader than I am haha!) |
 |
| Toiletries & Essentials. Can you see the Handy Toilet? 😛 (I don’t think she will EVER use this, haha!) |
 |
| Charger for her phone. |
 |
| New Friends. Happy group. Yay! m/ |
My 2 munchkins, on the other hand, were brought to school by their dad. And Jela, of course! ;P
 |
| One measly photo from my hunny bunch -MEN! @_@ This is my only photo memory of their 1st day back in school. |
