the night before the first day

Tomorrow is the first day of school.

I just put a very nervous 6th grader and 3rd grader to bed.  Both of them were weepy.  Enough to bring tears to their mother's eye.  If only I could take that anxiety away and assure them that all will be okay.

At least the kindergartener is extremely excited.  Of course I need him to stop bouncing around, quit asking questions and go to sleep so I'll be able to actually get him up, dressed and out the door in the morning so we can get to the first day of school on time.

Wish me luck!
