today was the first day of school. i lingered a little after the drop-off and picture taking to talk to a few moms. i love them dearly, but i felt so overwhelmed after our conversation. the focus was on harried details--mulitple pick-up and drop-off times, trying to get their kids into this extra program and that activity. i decided that i must be totally messing up my boys' future by not signing them up for everything under the sun or maybe i am beyond ignorant thinking that time at home might be as important as one of those activities or i might be incredibly selfish because i want a little time with them because it seems like they will be moving out before i know it.
when i picked carter up, we got home and i just hugged him. he hugged back. (seriously.) i think he was ready to just be home after a busy day. i'm glad he likes being here and i hope that when he grows up, he'll tell his kids how he loved coming home and tries to instill that into his kids.
better wrap this up...got someplace to be. (you can't escape all the harried stuff!)
