Yes, Ben finally asked the question. Was he big enough to be dropped off at school and go in on his own. It came out of the blue and he wanted me to think about it. He felt he was ready. I gulped and asked if that was what he wanted as he could make the decision. He thought about it and dithered a bit on how to do it but decided finally to have me drop him off at the "drop off corner" and he would walk in himself. Doh! I can't believe how upset I was. I nearly cried when he got out of the car and walked away. "What about me?" I wanted to yell. I liked walking him into school and helping him at the class door. Plus our big hug! How could he be ready to forego that?! What about all my friends I see every morning and talk to? This is painful. Next he'll be asking to be picked up inthe pick up lane. Am I ready! NO!
On other news, Mark started his new job today and we woke to our first snow fall which is fast melting. I hope some is left by the time Ben gets off school. Luckily I bought the kids boots and new shoes this weekend. I bought Sarina the cutest boots with little horses on them She loved them and would not take them off. I thought great no problem getting her to wear her boots. HA. This morning she insisted on wearing her little cute pink shoes that are not warm at all. Drats. I may have to hide those.

They do tend to grow-up at their own pace. It hurts though to be left behind.
What new job?
your right you will probable have to hide the shoes. Girls tend to be pretty set about what they want and when.
NEW JOB???? What new job? I thought everyone was lossing their jobs not getting new ones.
Hope it's a good thing...
We have no snow.....still in the 40's here
Good: I'm not the only one surprised!
